Friday - Work, had friends over for dinner and discussion
Saturday - Circus (didn't get to ride the elephant), took dog on 2 mile walk, watched "Everyone's Fine" on DVD (kinda depressing)
Sunday - Baseball try-out for Jacob (he's in the Majors now), church, cleaned garage, played hoops (it was gorgeous out), laundry, Oscars (watched, didn't go to)
I saw a couple of billboards for McDonald's that say:
We're pleased to meat you?
I'm sorry, but when I see that phrase, even when there's an Angus burger next to it, I don't think hamburger. I think it looks more like something a gigolo would use on his business card.
Tonight at dinner Jacob was telling a story about something that happened at school and I could tell he was exaggerating a bit. I looked at him and said, "You're such a fabricator."
He responded with, "No I'm not."
To which Kylee said, "You don't even know what that means."
"Yes I do," Jacob said. "It means I hate fabric."
He then burst out laughing...and so did the rest of us. Watch out Skyline Comedy Cafe. My son is coming for you someday.
A man goes to the Minnesota Vikings ticket office and inquires about purchasing super bowl tickets.
The ticket teller replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Vikings did not make it to the super bowl.
The following day the same man goes to the Minnesota Vikings ticket office and inquires about purchasing Vikings super bowl tickets.
The ticket teller politely replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Vikings did not make it to the super bowl.
This goes on for an entire week.
Finally the ticket teller in a loud voice says, "I'VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST WEEK THERE WERE NOT ANY TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE VIKINGS DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!"
The man replied, "I know. I drive all the way from Green Bay just to hear you say that."
Just what us Wisconsinites need - another reason to justify our beer drinking. It appears that beer is very good for your bones.
This news may make you feel a little better about the quantity of suds you poured down your throat during the Super Bowl. New research shows that beer is a significant source of dietary silicon, a key ingredient for bone health.
The most silicon-rich beers are types "containing high levels of malted barley and hops" like India Pale Ale (IPA).
Researchers aren't telling you to go out and pound several beers every day, but if you do, you can at least be pleased to know that you're doing something good for your bones.
today for some reason I feel like looking for a job at Monster.com, checking my stocks on E-trade, eating Doritos, drinking Bud Light and playing slug bug with Stevie Wonder all while The Who is playing in the background.
I wonder if Dave, Oprah and Jay would like to join me?
