2006 FIFA World Cup

Who would have thought that a game about 22 guys knocking around an inflated sphere on some massive green pitch would have the world so......captivated. I, for one, am HOOKED. I'm not sure of what the ratings are (one place mentioned billions of viewers) but I can't help but think that the USA is more then a little mental for not paying more attention.

This post is dedicated to Kyle and Chris,

I saw this on the news this morning, but I wasn't really sure I believed it until I read the full article in The Washington Post. Regardless, my brother: Chris, and my friend: Kyle should be quite relieved.

Check this out.

I'm not taking it personal!

Well, as you might know, I've been scouring for a job.

Monday I applied for something that I considered a shoe-in (is that really how you spell it?). A van driver for a Rochester hotel. Airport shuttle and bringing people to local attractions. When I filled out the application I saw that I was practically made for the job. I have the cleanest driving record possible. Never an accident in the 15 years I have been driving. Extremely familiar with Rochester and the surrounding area (drive somewhere once and I remember forever). Years and years of customer service experience.

Once I started thinking that the "van driver" probably spends more time talking to and assisting guests then the jokers at the front desk even come close to.

I guess I really shot myself when I listed $13-$15 an hour as my required salary. I figured since they said "don't write negotiable", I would write something a little high, and then they would come back with a lower figure and then we could meet somewhere in the middle. I guess I have been out of the job hunt biz for too long.

Makes sense on so many levels:

While we were out doing a few errands this morning when we ran through the local McDonalds. When we asked Holly what kind of sauce she wanted for her Mcnuggets, she just looked up at us and replied "I just want nugget on my nugget. I don't want any sauce."
