I love this.  It’s a smart idea. 

It’s amazing someone has not thought of it earlier.

This is too funny. 

(Maybe I just needed a diversion because the Celtics lost the first game of the playoffs this year.) 

But I thought Charles Barkley was very funny in this video.  Check it out.

NOTE:  If you double-click on the video, you can watch it in full screen mode.

Ok, it’s about as hot as you can believe here.

We have one of those remote thermometers in the house.  The sensor is right outside our back door in the shade.  It topped out at 100.  Today it got up to 103.1.

Yesterday I put the sensor out on the sidewalk in the sun and it got up to 126.  It is only June 8!

This is crazy.  I’m not planning on leaving the house again for the rest of the day.

This is too funny.  These people actually just started singing out of the blue in a mall.  You gotta see it to believe it.  I can’t imagine what it must have felt like being there just eating your food minding your own business.

Too funny…

This morning I added a new component to my morning jog.  Just for fun, I brought Bennett with me.  He seemed to enjoy it.

(Pretty interesting, eh?  I bet you’re glad you read this post.  I think I reached a whole new level of boring this time.)

I’ll try to be more interesting in the future.

Today is a difficult day for me.  I lost someone very close to my heart. 

Someone who was the founder and creator of something that has been a very intimate part of almost every morning for me over the past several months has died.  Although I will still benefit from what he started many decades ago, I can’t help but feel the loss.

I hope all of my readers can appreciate that when you admire someone this much, you need to keep the things he held dear close to your heart so you never forget them.

Here’s the full story.

Goodbye Herb Peterson.  Rest In Peace.  I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow morning.

Great article about the Celtics on ESPN by Marc J. Spears today.

Here are some excerpts…

The Boston Celtics are bigger than even Texas right now.

There isn’t a tougher stretch in an NBA schedule than the renowned Texas Triangle. The treacherous three-game road trip includes stops to face three of the Western Conference’s top team: the reigning NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks.

After talking about all three teams, he added…

Other than winning an NBA championship, there is nothing really the Boston Celtics have to do to prove that they are for real any more.

The Celtics (55-13) became the first NBA team to qualify for the playoffs, reach the 50-win mark and win a division. Boston won the season series against the Detroit Pistons, now owns a 23-4 record against the mighty Western Conference and is on pace to get home-court advantage throughout the playoffs with the top record.

This is all pretty exciting for a long-time Boston Celtics fan like me – even if I do live in North Carolina now.

How’s this for an amazing dinner out for the evening?

Dinner in the Sky offers dinner at a table suspended 165 feet in the air with chairs that swivel 180 degrees.

Check out the pictures on the website.

Now that my office at work is pretty much the way I want it, I’ve been doing a little work on my home office.  It has a nice large brown desk in it and another smaller glass table for my computer.

The most recent additions have been rich, dark brown curtains.  They really look nice.  Sandy and I picked them out last weekend.  I’ve also added two more bookcases.  (I’ve always loved libraries and this office is starting to look more like one.  Of course, I have my big brown globe which helps.)

(more…)

I’ve always thought balloons were cool, especially when the clown would twist and turn them and make them into an animal or something.

But this is just a little too strange, even for me. 

Impressive!  But strange.
