General Monday stuff (random)....
Category Everything Else
I got an email today with a humorous article called On A Wing And A Prayer by Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly. In order to keep from forwarding something that didn't really exist, I did some searching to find the original source. If you have three minutes or so, click on the link and read the story. It's laugh-out-loud funny...
Checking my referers list today, I saw a hit from employerslawyer.blogspot.com. That's enough to make me curious (and maybe a little paranoid?). I clicked on the link, and it is referencing my post on outsourcing IT jobs. I emailed the guy and asked how he got here. It was due to a hit on Feedster that referenced my post due to some combination of words. I always like when you see referrers that are from outside the normal Domino group.
For the first time in over 20 years, I am not wearing a wedding ring... No, I'm still married! Sunday afternoon I took a tumble (note to self: step UNDER the wire, not over it!) and jammed my ring finger. It was OK last night, and didn't look too bad when I woke up. But it kept swelling over the course of the morning, so I went to the doctor to have it checked. To be safe, we decided that cutting the ring off was probably a wise move just in case the swelling got any worse. I certainly have a "marriage indentation" on the finger, so I can't pass myself off as single! There's not much they can do, as the x-ray was clear with only a slight chance of a bone chip fracture. They recommended taping the fingers together... THAT oughta improve my typing!
I notice that a number of bloggers are starting weight loss programs. I decided to do the same on August 1st, as I'm tired of being this fat. At one point MANY years ago, I was considering doing some competitive bodybuilding. But for various reasons, it didn't happen, and the body has had a slow downhill slide to "well-paddedness". I was doing well under the low-carb style diet last year, but I got off track. I'm going back to that plan now, and we'll see how it goes. Here's to group success!
And today is my OTHER son's birthday. Ian is 17 today. This concludes the week that my wife and I dread... "Birthday Week". With Cam's birthday on July 29th and Ian's on August 4th, our paycheck takes a beating this time of year... :-)
