Random thoughts

After the horrific moving experience over the last two days, the "head cold" that I had suddenly became much worse last night. I took most of the day off because I'm supposed to do a half-marathon tomorrow. I just discovered (although I could have guessed) that I have a fever. It's low right now (99.5), but I took tylenol a couple of hours ago. I'm trying to decide which is more embarrassing: Not doing the half marathon or being carted away in an ambulance at mile one.
 
When I went to the fitness and health expo yesterday to pick up my race packet, there were some good looking doctors in scrubs both volunteering and participating. The ambulance isn't sounding so bad now.

Nice sov. How you did in latin america?

Decent. Got most in latin america. Helped that I took a latin american studies class where we did map work. Europe was the toughest :surrender:

Talking about Europe, I hate the french. HATE them. Always had history with them but this french chick in college has just made me despise them immensely.

FUCK FRANCE

I noticed in the last little while that Dan Lebatard has a daily TV show with his dad. I think it's called Questionable (??)

I like Lebatard. I know him from regular guest appearances on PTI and I find him reasonably entertaining with a point of view that is often refreshing.

Now I am not going to let my lack of knowledge about his current show prevent me from commenting on it. I haven't seen a ton of it but I've seen a bit and here's what I am going to say:

get rid of the dad.

Dad does not have any great knowledge of sports nor being a broadcast personality. Dad is a novelty. He is adorable - I guess he is Mexican (??) and he has the nasal accent and for some reason that is supposed to be cute and he milks that - and I think the father-son dynamic is also supposed to score cute points - but I'm saying no.



It all reminds me of that Partridge Family episode where the granddad comes out in one of their shows (for some reason) and sings Bye Bye Blackbird. Even though it is not the fabulous rock music for which people go to Partridge Family concerts, the crowd accepts it. They cheer.

The reason: it is a novelty. Granddad doesn't realize it but the applause is basically condescending. He continues to participate in the shows.

And then at some point granddad sees a write-up of one of their shows where he is described as "camp."

He is heart-broken but he has learned a difficult truth. And he stops being part of Partridge Family shows. Rightly so.



That's what Lebatard's dad needs to learn and do.
 
Now these fucking things, I don't care for one bit:
