A few days ago in traffic I was behind a van with a license plate that read “CUBSWIN”.
Either the driver has been holding out hope for a long time– and was finally rewarded– or was very quick to put in a vanity plate request after the World Series…
True dat
For some reason, I love this.
It begins
Today I am embarrassed for my country.
Inspirational quotes
The cleaning crew at my office– which consists of two teenage girls– has been leaving little inspirational quotes on sticky notes.
“Follow your heart; it’s easy to track because it crawls slowly and leaves a noticeably large trail.”
and of course
“When the cops aren’t around, ANYTHING is legal!”
Interesting…
Smart appliances
La and I were at Lowe’s today and I noticed a “smart” refrigerator. One of the doors had a huge touchscreen display on it.
I drew a smiley face in the “Family Hub” area, and thought that was definitely worth the $3,000 price tag. There was an option to take a photo of the food inside and label everything with expiration dates… a feature that is probably cool for about two days and then becomes tiresome. Best of all, apparently you can listen to music (via Pandora) on your fridge. Because hey, who wouldn’t want that?
Next to the fridge was a smart oven that advertised wireless networking. I guess that solves the age-old mystery about “did I leave the oven on?” after you leave home.
I’m a big fan of technology, but I’m just not sure a musical fridge and a wifi oven are high on my list.
The upside of global warming
Happiness is playing ultimate barefoot in November, because it’s almost 70 degrees.
Band names
Last night I told Zack we should think of a cool band name… just in case we find ourselves creating a band one day. He came up with
Rejected Kidney
which is the best band name I’ve heard in a long time. At least now we’re set for that one day.
GREAT SCOTT!
I think I did a decent job of dressing up as Dr. Emmett Brown for Halloween.
Of course there were a few heathen teenagers who didn’t recognize me, because they hadn’t seen Back to the Future, but I could excuse them because none of them had been born then.
Fun times.
My fellow teachers
There’s nothing quite like a Halloween party at 6am. Here I am with my fellow seminary teachers… these ladies are so awesome.
Clever logo
I just opened my image-processing software and noticed the logo…
Well played.
