Man, this job takes a lot of work somedays. Then there are days when I’m scraping for things to do. Today is somewhere between the two.
After a week of doing literally less than nothing having to show up at the office shaved, dressed appropriately, and ready to play well with others is a real pain. It’s nearly taking an act of Congress to get me out of bed in the morning. This was the first time in my adult life that I can remember taking a full week out to do absolutely nothing. Sure, I’ve taken a day or two off here and there, but never before have I gone out of my way to take an week to get away. Now I get why so many people do it. As a guy that likes the pressure to be on more than it is off this is a whole new twist. Maybe next year I’ll revert to form and have a vacation that is more activity based.
Normally I rag on The Times for dumb headlines and stories, but today I’m busting on The WaPo for the same thing. A story about school getting ready to start? WTF? That’s plain dumb. On the other hand, pointing out that some schools in Maryland are thinking out of the box was a pretty damn good story and idea. THE BOY got his class assignment yesterday and will have THE MARINE’s son has his battle buddy. That is a very good thing. And it’s clear that FDSM’s SAT scores have finally hit the national data base.
You know my first thought at seeing that Matthew Broderick had fallen off a horse was that Sarah Jessica must have really strong hips. But I soon remembered that I’m the only person that sees her teeth and nose, then draws the comparison between her and a Kentucky Derby contender.
Snyder has added TomKat Cruise to his portfolio? That’s interesting news. I wonder if the halftime shows at FedEx Field are going to have better pyro now. Or if the offense will finally begin to explode.
