Thursday Thirteen #67
1. How strange that I’ve got a Nirvana song stuck in my head since yesterday and this morning I get an e-mail from Rhapsody telling me that Nevermind is now available. Creepy.
2. Wifey and I are going away for the weekend and Angel will be coming over to take care of Horsey. Maybe Horsey would like to go away for the weekend and I could live in his stall. Hmm.
3. My home workouts are pretty much just free weights now, since I’ve stopped using the treadmill. Did I mention that? My tendonitis is much better since I’ve stuck to bikes (real and stationary) and the wicked cool elliptical steppy thing they’ve got in the gym at work.
4. I was sitting at my desk last night and heard the sound of tires on driveway. I thought it might be Angel but it was just some guy in a convertible that got all the way to the house before he realized he was lost and turned around.
5. I got an e-mail from a high school classmate. Another reunion — wasn’t there one five years ago? OMG how time flies!!
6. I was one of the lost before that last one. I helped organize that one, but didn’t go to the reunion. I won’t be going to this one either.
7. I have to confess I’m a little excited about Barry Bonds hitting the 755 home run mark, confident that if he did take steroids, they’ll find out and take the record away from him.
8. And I even think that Michael Vick deserves his day(s) in court. If there’s as much evidence against him as there appears to be, it will be a speedy trial and he’ll be locked up and never heard from again.
9. Here’s another unpopular opinion: I think the Red Sox should raise ticket prices right up to whatever the scalpers are able to get. Why should those people lucky enough to get tickets be getting all of the profit when they resell them?
10. I just won $3 on one of my scratch tickets. This is from the bunch of tickets I got in my Christmas stocking and have been rolling the winners ever since. I think it started with $25 and I’ve been up as much as $100. The last bunch I bought was right about the break-even point.
11. I still haven’t chosen a presidential candidate. Mostly it’s because the guy I think is most qualified is like a blip in the polls and therefore doesn’t have a prayer of a chance of winning. I think the system really sucks.
12. I’ve sold a few things on eBay in recent weeks. I have to say, as much as they could rest on their laurels if they wanted to, they have made a number of great improvements over the years.
13. Have I ever mentioned that Angel’s mom works in the same building as me? Yup, I see her there every few weeks — including yesterday.
