I remember when I was working (years and years ago). Going to work on a Monday morning after a Green Bay Packer victory was always uplifting. Make that a “NFL playoff” victory and the effect was even greater. People would wear player jerseys. Today it would be Clay Matthews, Aaron Rogers or A.J. Hawk. More work got done (inspite of all the water cooler gatherings) than on a normal day. I loved the “Packer glow”.
Better yet, the Packers are still playing. Losers go home. Winners keep playing. What else is there to do in Wisconsin in January? Go Pack go.
I caused the snow today. I got both cars washed yesterday (with certificates from Grasshopper No.3). Of course it snows after you clean the car. Why did I do that?
Tomorrow is my normal “Doctor Day” (6 month check-up). It is my Doctor’s annuity. Keep me coming back. Daughter-in-law Shelby gets anxiety when she has to go the dentist. I get anxiety when I go to my doctor. I know I am “leaking oil”. If I describe all my aches and pains, I will end up with tons of medications (and a lecture on weight loss). If I keep quiet, I suffer in silent agony. I will still get the weight loss lecture. In my heart I know the Doctor is right. I reserve the right to know my body better than he does. So whoa is me. How much do I tell him?
On a previous blog, I expressed my concern about information put out on Facebook. USA Today had an article on people that were robbed while on vacation. The vacationers expressed too much about their upcoming vacation on Facebook with friends. Their home was looted while they were on gone. Dah!
As Norm would say on “Cheers”. “It is a dog eat dog world and I am wearing milk bone underwear”.
Stay warm.
Love,
Dad
