- It’s called post-viral cough, and it sucks. My lovely wife and I are both “enjoying” it.
- RIP, Mr. Drummond. Conrad Bain is dead at 89.
- The 2014 Corvette has shown itself. I have significant reservations about the gigantic holes in the front fenders. Love the rear end, and the interior looks promising as well. This debuted as the “Corvette Stingray,” which makes me hope there is just a “Corvette” in the works. A car with, say, a fixed roof, cloth interior, more conventional suspension, and a half-strength stereo, with a base price of $39,995, would be a good idea. GM needs to move the demographic of this car downward. There is a real danger emerging of most people who want a Corvette not being able to afford one.
- Had a marvelously tasty lunch at Anaheim Chili yesterday. There are nine standard recipes available, with a rotating tenth chili-of-the-day. There is also an extensive beer list, including local brews, and our service was excellent. I’ll definitely go back.
- Has enough about Manti Te’o’s pretend girlfriend emerged for us to have the whole story? I’m not sure it has. This feels like it has a twist or two in it yet.
- I have changed my standard ringtone. This is a momentous occasion. I do not do so lightly. It has been the them from Twisted Nerve for several years. It is now Splendido, aka “Nothing But Furniture.”
- I’m becoming a risk to plunge on the Surface RT even if there isn’t a price drop. When I defiantly and haughtily went looking at what I could get that was comparable, I’m beginning to think it might not be so overpriced after all. Looking like a Type Cover, not a Touch Cover. It’s only $10 more, and frankly, I need key travel. Two weeks to go.

My initial thoughts on the Te’o situation: I think he got duped into a fake online relationship and was embarrassed to admit it so he kept answering questions and talking about her, etc. Before he knew it he had gone too far with the story. Seriously, I think he may need some help. This will hurt his standing in the draft, even worse than the Alabama game if that’s possible, because of how much they look at the players’ personal lives now.
I’m thinking I’m going to stay out of it. It’s easy for me to pick on an asshole, but that’s not this. It’s not evil, or arrogant, or any other huge target trait like that. It’s a strange thing, that may indicate a need for help, for a young person to do.
As far as target traits go, I agree with you. No matter how it is examined, he is either a liar, extremely gullible, or both.
And who would have thought Todd Bridges would be the last one standing????
