1. I hate the Waiting Game on so many levels. I'm usually a very patient person (less so since I having children.) Today's Waiting Game: How early will the boss let us go for the weekend? Will it be a 1/2 hour?An hour?
Holy Crap! The boss is bringing in Minsky's pizza for everyone working all day. I'll shut up now.
2. Latest book read: Stephen King's Salem's Lot. I just finished it this morning. I love audio books, they work well with my hectic schedule. This was one of King's early novels that I never read. So much better than that crap he wrote during his rehab days (Rose Madder, Gerald's Game.) It was odd to read a book placed in the '70's though. Speaking of the 70's...
3. New favorite TV show: BBC America's Life on Mars. John Simms plays a Manchester detective who is hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. Philip Glenister is fantastic as another hardcore, Sweeney-era detective. For those without BBCA, don't worry, David E. Kelly is already working on an American version for next year that will probably fail to live up to the original.
4. Bruce - Edward Woodward was in the original Wickerman and the star of the 80's series, The Equalizer. (Sorry folks, inside conversation.)
5. Kids say the darndest things: During the drive home the other night, 808.3 said, "Daddy, we need to find you a girlfriend." I think it's funny, Mrs. 808 does not.
6. Ladies and Gentleman, please keep in mind that while our beloved president is touring the nation and trying to gather support the war in Iraq, that he does not want "others" to politicize it. You should also remember, that per Rummy, if you are against the war, you are a fascist.
7. Poll time: If you were contemplating some educational, non-fiction audio book listening, which of the following would start with: Introduction to Judaism, the Bible or Introduction to Buddhism. Place your votes.
8. Finally, have a great Labor Day weekend. I'll be cleaning the house (again), watching TV, playing with the kids and blah-blah-blah.
Au revoir, mes amis!
