Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

Edit: Emergency Replacement Due To A Repost
  • My sickness, which was now limited to my stomach, was upgraded to 85% of its normal good health yesterday.
  • That is, until I went to a birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and ordered “Honey Glazed Chicken, Asparagus, Red and Yellow Peppers, Peas, Garlic and Onion in a Spicy Chipotle Parmesan Cream Sauce.” It's never a good sign with others at the table look at you and ask, "Are you OK?"
  • I don't care how old you are, getting tucked into bed when you're sick is not a bad deal.
  • I heard a high ranking Bridgeport football coach abruptly quit last week. (And I'm supposed to credit someone for the tip who won't let me mention him/her by name. Huh?) 
  • There's nothing wrong about walking around Southlake Town Center when it's seventy-something degrees.
  • I stopped down in front of the Apple store but didn't go in. Fourth-Grader-In-The-House: "Go in! You never get to go shopping and we go shopping every day!" Me: "Everyday?" Her (scrambling): "Not really."
  • Fuzzy's Tacos in Decatur is now open. Cool neon in the windows, by the way. 
  • Jimmy Kimmel with go head to head with Letterman and Leno, ABC announced yesterday. Caught a little bit of Leno a few nights ago. He is next to impossible to watch.
  • I somehow got involved in a seven person "group text chat" yesterday on the phone in connection with Fantasy Football. That whole concept is unstable. It was Seriousness v. Comedy v. Crazy Talk.
  • Looking out from the 23rd floor of 1 World Trade Center, to the 9/11 Memorial.
  • Mark Davis was urging Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race this morning because it gives Democrats the chance to say, "Look at some of the nutcases the Republicans have on their side!"
  • On The Ticket this morning they brought up the high school team in Arkansas that never punts: "Pulaski Academy, in Little Rock, Ark. In nine years, Kelley’s teams have posted a 104-19 record, winning three state titles. Last season, Pulaski went 14-0 and averaged 51 points per game." San Diego State is toying with the idea this year so long as they are inside the 50. Love it. 
  • The Alvord-teenage-death story in the Star-Telegram has been picked up by the AP. For example, it's on a Boston news site this morning. 
  • "Nude Photos Of Prince Harry In Las Vegas Surface Online." (You're on your own with that one.)  Man, I wouldn't want to be that guy back at Buckingham Palace when he hears the words, "The Queen would like for you to speak with her. Follow me."
