Happy Birthday Grasshopper No.3. I assure you it wasn’t this cold on the day you were born.
Last night was Jay Leno’s final “Tonight show”. Jay is a throwback to old time values when integrity meant something. I understand the desire to bring in some one new but NBC just eliminated their No.1 late night profit generator. Part of me would like to see NBC fall flat on their face with the Leno decision. It is one thing to retire while “on top”. It is quite another to be fired when you are on top. Maybe there is an age discrimination suit lurking here.
I think I have all my tax information for 2013. Now all I have to do is power up my Turbo-Tax, push a few computer keys and out will pop my tax return. I do know that we had quite a few medical expenses last year. God I hate the tax preparation process!
I got an preview of the UW-Badger football schedule for 2014. The Big 10 conference used to stand for tradition and “smash-mouth” football. The first home league game is Oct.11 against Illinois followed Oct.25 against Maryland (newly added to the Big 10), There is not a single game against Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State or Penn State. Gone are all the statistics. Gone is the rivalry. We now have more games against less talented teams designed for more TV exposure. You can tell that I’m excited about the UW-Badger football schedule. Oh yeah, ticket prices increased for 2013.
I am taking my favorite girlfriend to lunch today and I am paying for it with my Christmas gift card. Does life get any better?
Love,
Dad
