I Know It's Tuesday

So I'm back in Rochester, but swamped as usual. I apologize to my millions (AND MILLIONS) of fans for the no post yesterday. I need to remember to work most of my blogs on Sunday evening in order to get it complete on Mondays. I have too many meetings Monday morning.

A fun weekend in Des Moines at a wedding. There was a live big band playing at the reception so definitely no Chicken Dance, Hokey-Pokey, or other songs from my "overplayed at weddings" list. Too bad certain readers weren't as lucky at their weddings this past weekend;)

When I came back to work yesterday - I had a pleasant surprise. For those who don't watch The Office on NBC, you probably won't find the humor in this. I have a mug from the show that says "World's Best Boss" (of course I bought it myself). When I came in, I found it in a cooler in front of my desk surrounded by jello:



I was impressed (and quite amused) all day with it. Only problem was in the late afternoon when I went to remove the mug and begin thinking about taking it home to clean.... well Jello is very acidic or something as it removed all the lettering from my mug! So now I have a plain mug and a bunch of Jello that has the letters "World's Best Boss" on it! Easily replaceable for the amount of laughs it generated.

Lots of movement in the sports world yesterday. With the trade deadline ending today for baseball - the Braves pick up Mark Teixeira from the Rangers to add some strong hitting to their lineup as well as another lefty reliever. The Twins through in the towel already by sending Castillo to the dreaded Mets. So again the NL East becomes the trade zone for other teams giving up on their season.

And basketball - it is a sad day in Minnesota as Garnett now appears to be going to Boston for like 10 different players. I guess the new saying should be "you can take McHale out of Boston but you can't take Boston out of McHale". Bastard! Is it that hard to build a team around KG? You've had 10 years to do it! Good luck KG - hopefully the green will indeed bring you luck!

That's it for today - so like the month of July, I say goodbye!

Haiku of the Day -
Six foot - eleven
A Former League MVP
Thanks Kevin Garnett!!!!

Entertainment of the Day - I snagged the movie Let's Go To Prison that has Dax (from Punk'd fame) in it. It looked dumb but somehow still ended up in my rental queue. I'm glad it did as it was actually really funny and worth the 90 minutes (or 60 minutes at my viewing speeds). Rather interesting movie and has a happy ending, I promise.

Weblink of the Day - This page is AWESOME!! Two guys challenge 25 dumb laws across America to see if they can indeed get arrested. Check it out and laugh away!
