A veritable cornucopia of random ruminations (or some worthless crap from my convoluted mind)
First of all, let me get the worthless trivia of the day out of the way. Holidays that we could be celebrating but thank God we live in America are: Constitution Day in the Dominican Republic and in Tajikistan. Also, let’s give a rousing hooray to our Swedish cohorts who are celebrating Gustavus Adolphus Day. Chocolate medallions for everyone (look it up if you think I’m crazy).
Ok, so tomorrow is Election Day. Do not forget to go out and make your voice heard whether you are Republican or Democrat, but if you know me you know which way I lean.
On the sports front, I am prepared to eat a small portion of crow but only a small one. I did say here the other day that Tom Brady and the New England Patriots would mop the floor with the Indianapolis Colts. I really don’t think that the Colts beat us so much as the Pats threw the game away. Was I upset at the out come? Yes. Did the better team on the field yesterday win? Probably. Do I think the Colts are the best team in the league this year? Not really. Will the Colts go to the Super Bowl. I would bet no. Be assured that last night’s game will not be the final meeting this year between the Colts and Pats. If I am correct in that assumption, even though the game would be played in the RCA Dome, the Colts will not be the victors that day. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Fantasy Football is definitely misnamed as far I can see. Sure I was riding high after blazing to a 5-0 start. Apparently my 25 years of watching football is not enough to assemble an award winning team. I am currently stumbling through a four game losing streak. This was completely unexpected. I am considering putting myself in Do Not Care mode. Last week I was decimated by my brother-in-law, Michael the Dork, but the final straw was getting pummeled yesterday by my own flesh and blood. Yeah, that’s right, I lost to my sister! I lost to girl for crying out loud! If this keeps up I may cry foul. That is what good losers do, ya know!
Well at least my mighty Predators have been skating figure eights around the NHL competition, including a four game sweep on a western Canada run! I hope that the league is keeping Lord Stanley’s Cup all shined up for its new future home of Nash-vegas.
And on the entertainment front this week, I was surprised to find out that one of my favorite television characters was homosexual!
Yes, boys and girls, old Barney Stinson of television's How I Met Your Mother, playa extraordinaire, is gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that. This makes me rethink my position on people with three names; it isn’t just for serial killers anymore. They are gay too. Isn’t that right Philip Michael Thomas?
One last note, Happy 41st Anniversary to my in-laws yesterday. Wow, 41 years. That really is something. Lately, I have had a major influx of long marriages in my family. My parents with their 30th and my grandparents will celebrate number 50 in January. Having been married for only 3+ years, it is hard to imagine being married for that long even if does seem like FOREVER! Just kidding. Here’s to hoping that everyone I know can stay together that long.
