Quick Hitter

Felt like sharing some randoms...


Recent life change I made ------ If I was washing my hair and using two different bottles for shampoo and conditioner, I would just combine the two to form a supersubstance in my hand and then toss it all together onto the top of my head. I have been since told that this defeats the purpose. So now I use shampoo and conditioner separately. My shower time has increased by three solid minutes. On the days I wash my hair at least. Which is every other day. That's the norm, right?


--- Each time I fill up with gas at the station, I try to predict how much it is going to cost to fill the tank. I consider it a successful guess if I come within 1% of the correct amount. Twice I have been two cents off but never closer. The day in which I guess it exactly right, well there's no telling how I might react. You just can't prepare for a magical moment like that.....


--- As far as embarrassing life moments go, where does backing your car out of your garage and into a snowbank and getting stuck rank? I'd say somewhere between farting in the middle of a meeting at work and striking out in slow pitch softball.


--- If you had to construct the perfect amount of hours in a day, based on what you now know, would you keep it at 24 or make a change? I think 28 seems about right...


--- I couldn't honestly tell you that I've ever loved a dog before. I've hated some, not minded a couple and liked a few... but the L word is creeping in these days. Riley can be a pain and a nuisance, but he's pretty damn funny and cool, as well as being genuinely happy most of the time. There is something happening here. We both feel it, we're just trying to let it happen naturally. Scamp is untouchable in the pantheon of all-time animals. But Riley Boy is a solid #2.


--- I think that if I am forced to use a cane when I'm older, I'll fall down a fair amount.


--- Some September weekend in my life, I want to go to a Cubs game on Saturday and a Packers game on Sunday. That would be more than a little slice of sports paradise.


--- I know people say that they would gladly work 4 10 hour days and have 3 day weekends, but I don't see why you wouldn't just work Monday at 8 AM until midnight on Tuesday and just be done with it....


--- Someone needs to invent a sport that is played only in February because it's the deadest month for sports. I love baseball as much as anyone, but pitchers and catchers reporting just doesn't quite do it for me anymore...


So it goes....
