Even if nobody asked…..
1. My daughter has a gig as a trivia host at local bars and restaurants. Trish and I decided to attend one last week in Bristol. I should have thought better of it. First, because I am terrible at trivia and second, guys drinking in a bar tend to make comments about a female host. Of course, when my daughter outed us as her parents the bar chuckled. The guys next to me did not. But they were remarkably well behaved the rest of the way.
2. Earlier this week, Damian Lillard had 35 points in the 1st half of an NBA playoff game and ZERO points in the 2nd half. Conclusion: I could be Damian Lillard for a half of NBA basketball. Right now. At age 63.
3. Do for ONE what you wish you could do for ALL before you complain about the ALL that isn’t being done by anyone. Tongue twister aside, just be the change you wish to see.
4. Think about it: nearly every man to ever play basketball has played BELOW the rim, same as 100% of the women to ever play the game. BUT nearly all NBA players play ABOVE the rim. Women’s basketball should be FAR more popular with people because it looks a lot more like the game nearly everyone plays.
5. I’m totally fine rolling up my windows, putting the car in neutral and taking my foot off the gas but I will not turn off the radio. Not happening. I will die on that hill, Mr. Car Wash tyrant.
6. Quote I’m considering: “Speak only when what you have to say is an improvement over silence.” (Hey, it says speak, not write!)
7. Celine Dion apparently has a neurological disorder called “Stiff Person Syndrome”. Say what? Can’t we do better than this? Who named this? Good grief people. Not to make light of the poor woman but telling people you have Stiff Person Syndrome has to be just awful. Maybe she just says SPS?
8. Here’s an idea: don’t define yourself by your OPINIONS because then you can’t change your mind! Define yourself by your VALUES instead.
9. Let me get this straight, a Kennedy who had two of his relatives assassinated (including his own father) while serving as president or running for president is now the only presidential candidate ever denied Secret Service protection? Somebody tee-up Oliver Stone, he may have another movie to work on pretty soon. Evil is real.
10. I can have a long phone conversation in my car or on a walk only. If I’m anywhere else, I feel I need to hurry off the call. I can’t be alone in this, right? Can you imagine me walking through the neighborhood as a telemarketer? Now that would be funny!
Have a GREAT Saturday all!
