Pointless Announcements

I miss the matchups with UNC and Duke since the Terps left the ACC for the Big Ten. Some of those were classics.

 

Noods is, unfortunately, out due to the accelerated study schedule for this damn exam. Four to five hours a day for the next six weeks... No days off. Not even ThxG with the family. My brain hurts.

 

Someday....

 

All the more reason to relax for at least a little while visiting with GOD. Have one of those "brain power" shakes (whatever they're called).

 

It's a minimum two hour drive each way... It just sucks. This thing is running my life. I've been studying since 9:30 this morning, with an hour break to go grab lunch, and I still have 3 more hours, just so I can take time out to drive 10m for a friend's birthday dinner. I hate this shit.

 

A beer could certainly work as a stress reliever.

Many positive thoughts being sent.

 

You're worth the drive, kiddo. Don't worry about me, though. What you are doing is more important. Business before pleasure.

 

I just remembered a guy from college, a friend-og-a-friend. He was a little strange, didn't say much to me until he had "studied" me for a couple of weeks; he did the same to others. If he liked you, he was reasonably social. If he didn't like you, he could be blunt to the point of being rude, and was unapologetic. His excuse was, and this is an accurate quote, "I don't have time for white bread people. They bore me."

He swore that a few beers, spread out so that he relaxed without getting an actual buzz, helped him relax and study better. He also believed that since beer was part of his studying, it should be part of his test taking. Seeing him having a beer before a 8:00 AM exam was weird. At first I figured that he was a boozer, which could explain rudeness, but he actually very rarely drank. his You might think "boozer," but the guy wasn't much of a drinker. And he made rally good grades.

 

Looks like I will finally be moving to Oregon in 2017. Kinda excited.

 

Making paleo chicken pot pie. Goddamn, I need some comfort food. This stuff is the shizzz! It's still pouring, BTW.

 

Sitting on the tarmac, heading to Florida

 

So one of my twin daughters had her first loose tooth. It was still a couple days away from being ready to come out. It would wiggle back and forth, but wasn't hanging out. So last night I hear this shrieking. I go running towards it. She has blood dripping out of her mouth. She took it upon herself to yank the tooth right out, by herself. The blood is what freaked her out. I can't believe that she just went into the bathroom and yanked it loose. She is going to be one independent slightly weird girl.
