Almost like I'm Tweeting, just without that pesky 140 character limit (seriously, I can't even come close to getting in under that. Don't stifle my ramblings, Twitter!):
-I think my family's long-standing aversion to knick-knacks and trinkets will be what keeps any of us from appearing on Antiques Roadshow. You can't find a figurine worth $3,000 in your attic when you don't have them around.
-It's time to declare the John Smoltz experiment is over, baring someone taking Brad Penny off the Sox's hands before Friday. It's been 7 starts, that's enough of a sample size.
-Nice to see that weathermen are consistent with their inability to tell the weather. All winter they were off about how much snow was going to fall and this weekend I was warned of horrific thunderstorms from Friday night through Sunday... it hasn't even rained in that time.
-Take it from me, kids: if you're at a store like Marshall's and you see something you like, buy it right then and there. Taking a couple days to think about it almost guarantees it won't be there when you go back.
-Debate around the Sunday dinner table last night: Who's store layout is worse - Jordan's, where you have to walk through the entire store just to get back where you started, or Ikea which has narrower aisles and more clutter to look at, but at least offers potential shortcuts?
-I think the people in charge of swimming have screwed up with their decision to allow people to use those fancy swimming suits until the Olympics. It would be the equivalent of baseball allowing players to use aluminum bats for two years, then when someone hit 100 home runs in a season deciding that it was too much of an advantage, yet still treating their records the same as those who only used wooden bats. It makes no sense.
-Nothing said "We want to think we can still rock, but no, we really can't," like AC/DC having their Gillette Stadium concert on a Tuesday night.
"Yeah, she... shook me alllll night long... well, actually she was done by 11, cause we have work in the morning!"
-I still think air conditioning takes the top spot, but the remote for my iDock is quickly moving up the list of greatest inventions.
-The Princeton Review came out with it's list of the Top Party Colleges. Again, this area was pretty much shut out (Union College in NY came in at #13 - the only north east school in the top 20). In New England's defense, it's kind of hard to party when the beer has frozen solid.
-Finally, this guy at least owes his playing partner a ride in his new car. Especially when you consider that he just made that guy's birdie putt go from 5 to 10 feet.
