“Another Pleasant Valley Sunday…”
everyday glory December 5th, 2005Sunday : 04 December 05
I slept in a little later than I had planned this morning. That may have been somewhat attributable to the fact that I didn’t toss myself into bed until after 4 AM. Maybe. I woke up and got ready for today’s football action. Kate, Max and Perry dropped in for a while around 11:30; they were picking up their ladder and some props they left from the Hallowe’en party. We talked for a while before they had to take off.
Football Update
Houston at Baltimore | |
15- 16 | |
Dom Capers and the Texans rode into M&T Bank Stadium to take on the Ravens.
And the Ravens WON. It was a low-scoring, primarily defensive game, but it was a solid sixty minutes of football action. It was far too much of a nail-biter for my taste: The game was decided in the last minute and ten seconds. A Texans’ field goal, putting them ahead 15-13, was followed by a Matt Stover FG… with six seconds left on the clock. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a win. And I’m not going to argue with that.

Stray Toasters
- I was looking through a few back entries and came across the links a couple of online games that I enjoyed playing:
- Gridlock and
- Reflections
- A lot of the current wave of television commercials make me laugh.
- There was a line on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in which the host said “In just seven days…” and the first thing that popped into my head was “…I can make you a ma-a-a-a-an,” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I nearly doubled over in a laughing fit.
- Little tiny swimmer kicks!
- One of my coworkers used to work for Union Pacific Railroad and is still a big train buff. I am presenting him with a copy of Railroad Tycoon II tomorrow. Something tells me that he might enjoy it.
- The Monkees’ I’m Gonna Buy Me a Dog is a silly song, but I like it.
- I would like to purchase a new pair of black jeans, but neither Eddie Bauer nor Old Navy wish to cooperate with me. Does anyone have suggestions of where I might find a decent pair?
- Hot Tamales® candy.
- The HALO Command Center has a floor again, more or less.
Quote of the Day
From Law & Order: SVU – Detectives Tutuola and Munch, canvassing an assisted living center, are approaching an elderly gentleman to ask him some questions about one of the nursing assistants:
Tutuola: “Mr. Jackson…?”
Mr. Jackson: “Are you the nude models I ordered?”
Munch and Tutuola exchange quizzical looks
And that’s all the news from Lake Saline.
Namaste.
