Random thoughts a la Larry King in USA Today:
First of all, its much harder to type after having 4 beers. Beware of typos.
I did not space out my book purchases very well lately. I had a glut of books to read stemming from my purchases plus Christmas gift certificates. Suddenly, I have nothing new to read and I'm back to the bookcase looking for something interesting.
This is the last week to join the Squishy basketball pool that I created on the ESPN site. Go to March Madness Squishy Pool for details.
Man, I just went over to the Squishy forum to find the above link and suddenly I'm a posting fool. Must be the 4 beers.
I'm typing this entry as I watch various conference tournaments leading up to the NCAA Basketball tournament. This might strike some as racist but it is simply an observation; These college players are either black (African-American for the PC crowd) or they are the whitest white boys you have ever seen. To paraphrase Bill Murray in Space Jam some of these guys aren't white, they're clear. They are so from the midwest where they live and breathe basketball.
A follow-up to my entry on The Blizzard of 2001 I read a story in my local paper, The Daily Record about a mayor of a small town here in New Jersey who wants to sue the meteorologists "to recoup the township’s losses in overtime expenses and lost revenue." Read the whole story here: Byram mayor may sue weathermen over fizzled blizzard. Talk about a "find-fault" society.
Jeez, I'm having trouble typing. Maybe because I switched to Johnny Walker Red and Coke after the beers.
I've been on a "get in touch with the past" kick lately. I've been playing Internet detective to locate old friends and girlfriends. I'm not sure what to do when I find them. Do I reincorporate them into my life or simply just stick them on the Christmas card list? Stay tuned on this one.
Larry King would be talking here about some event he was hosting or what movie he had a cameo in. I don't have that kind of gig. You should really get in the habit of reading Larry's weekly column for USA Today. Its an hideously embarassing self indulgent prattle of the life of the CNN troll. I'll relate this story and then let you draw your own conclusions. Larry used to tell the story of how he grew up with Sandy Koufax in Brooklyn. Someone finally asked Sandy about it and Sandy said "Larry who"? Further investigation reveals that Larry has been lying about the whole thing. Remember, Larry was once convicted of check forgery. Not the best resume for a newsman.
Could someone please e-mail an easy way to remember the rules regarding "its and it's"? I have never been able to remember the correct usage and I'm afraid that I'm scaring people away with my grammatical errors.
I haven't done any running in the past 8 days. The combination of bad weather, my getting sick, and my wife being on call led me to be a non-runner for the past week.
Ok,that's enough for now. I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend because Claudine isn't on call this weekend. I'm going to try to accomplish two thing with this website this weekend: 1) Scan lots more photos and 2) reorganize the secondary index page. If you see any errors, e-mail me.
