- The boys just started second grade and kindergarten. It feels like about two years since Nathan was born. It feels like about six months since Aaron was born. I’m told by reliable sources that this phenomenon only gets worse.
- Les Paul dead at 94. RIP.
- My smartphone is sick. It’s away at the smartphone hospital, and I’m using a basic Nokia candybar during its absence. I have been appalled at the depth of my reaction to my “real” phone’s temporary loss.
- While I Was Away (hat tip, Seven Dead). Initially I laughed, but I also felt a little bad for her. (Being young can be hard, and one hopes that’s the problem here.) Then I thought of how poorly someone would have to listen to reach this level of sustained misunderstanding, and just laughed again.
- Ferris Bueller = Tyler Durden? (Don’t click if you haven’t seen both Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Fight Club, and if you haven’t, what’s up with that anyway?)
- I thought in his teaser that Finebaum was going to write about the best college coaches anywhere since Coach Bryant, but he confined his discussion to the SEC. He said Spurrier. Well, duh. Is it even close?
- Speaking of football, I’ve been about to pop wanting to write about the upcoming season. But, I’ve also been patiently waiting to see if I’m going to have a bigger stage this fall on which to do it, and it looks very much like that’s going to happen. Details soon!

The “While I was away” was a stitch!! Too funny.
Off topic – maybe I’ve missed it, but have you blogged about the absolutely wonderful, compassionate, caring Representative Shelia Jackson Lee yet? God, I wish she was MY representative. What a gal.
All I can say is, WHOEVER runs against her in the next election already has a million dollar campaign add ready-made and ready to run. Roll tape!!
1. I loved how the guy did the email thing as a video. And,
2. He should have learned one more thing. To date someone who actually has a brain big enough to understand what “I’m going on a trip,” means.
I’ll admit that I haven’t seen Fight Club, although Greg keeps telling me “OMG u haf 2!!1!”. I’ll get around to it one day, I guess.
Re: Finebaum. No arrests for Bama this offseason, and not much going on at AU = let’s stir up the Florida fans. He’s got a couple of affiliates down there, so he’s toying with their conflicted emotions over Urban and SOS. Wake me when it’s Sept. 5th.
Mt. Cody, RoMac, Hightower, Javy…OMG, FEAR THIS!
The husband is still sputtering over Saban at 2 over Fulmer at 4. But that what he gets for reading over my shoulder.
Terri: Isn’t that something? She’s making it much worse trying to explain it away. She needed a good dose of genuine (-sounding, at least) contrition and then never to mention it again.
‘seester: I expect he’s gotten a lot more discriminating. 🙂
Jenny: No kidding. Can’t get here quickly enough. And see Fight Club!
BamaDan: Preach it!
kemtee: I’d have actually had Fulmer at #2 myself.
