Random Monday Morning Thoughts

  • Other than days in the Fall, days like yesterday are my favorite of the year.
  • Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edward's girlfriend has posed in GQ. Hey, now. But if the book Game Change is correct, that lady is crazy.
  • I'm recording, but haven't watched, the new series The Pacific on HBO.
  • I probably would not have seen Remember Me (starring that Twilight guy), but the ending of it was spoiled by various newscasts over the weekend that discussed its "controversial ending."
  • Seven teams from Texas made the NCAA tournament with the highest seeded one being Baylor at #3. I hope they don't screw up the first round game against Sam Houston State.
  • Had someone email me pics from Greenville Avenue on Saturday. That looks like a scene.
  • I think I'll put up a Yahoo based Tournament Pick 'Em later today for the Liberally Lean crowd. Grand prize: Probably nothing.
  • Had a cop try to convince me that weight loss and health is tied to anaerobic, not aerobic, training. I've got to look into that since I'm not exactly sure what that means.
  • Peter Graves died over the weekend. The heck with Mission Impossible (which was on every week in my childhood home), his greatest role was Captain Over from Airplane.
  • 96.7 FM, which is oddly now broadcasting WBAP, ran back to back Ronald Reagan speeches all weekend, and most of them were pretty good. I had forgotten how Tea Party like he was: Big of defense, criticizing the size of the federal government, and even threw in some State's Rights.
  • I stayed out too late on Saturday night.
  • The luck of corresponding Daylight Savings Time with Spring Break is a good deal for kids. But it's still a beating for adults.
  • More and more devices are automatically changing the time. And I think that just makes it more confusing.
