It is great when birthdays fall on holidays since it gives me a better chance at remembering them on time. So Valentines Day always helps to remember to wish a happy birthday to one of my younger brothers. Though I am older than him I will still withhold his name and age to protect the (mostly) innocent. With that, I can now say how bummed I am that football season is over, but how very excited I am that all of my attention can turn to my beloved Orange basketball team and the home stretch of their season. Now on to some thoughts from this last week before The Wife and I settle in with a few good beers for some Olympics, Daytona, and (most important to me on this day) college basketball . . .
Random thought #1 – Maybe I am jaded because I spent so many years driving in the snow, but a steady rain is no reason for highway traffic to slow to 15-20 mph. It is just rain people!
Random thought #2 – Not having the heat on during a cold spell is a good way to get attention from your animals. Sixty degrees is apparently the threshold at which my pets become very affectionate and cuddly. True Florida critters.
Random thought #3 – The calmness of mind during yoga is not quite there for me mostly because I am very uncomfortable for a good portion of the time. That and the dogs keep trying to participate.
Random thought #4 – Short track speed skating is a few thrown elbows away from being roller derby on ice. That is some good Olympic watching!
Random thought #5 – When you have to take time to think of what your final “random thought” is for the week, it is no longer random. Maybe it is time for me to pull the “Improve Your Brain Power” book off the shelf and sharpen my memory a bit? Damn me for not writing things down!
Prost!
