I got in my car this morning, and the lead in, to The Junkies was "Patience" by G'NR.
What a great tune...timeless by all accounts.
It was a great way to start the day!

Trees
I am not a tree hugger by any means...but after pulling into my office complex after being on the road for 10 days, I was surprised to see that the property manager decided to cut down probably 10 mature trees that boarder the side-walk.
It looks horrible.
Unless the tree had disease, it makes no sense.

This Heat...
is oppressive. It literally shuts me down.
I can deal with 90. I can even deal with 95.
100+ is just ugly...
Plus it gives me B.O.

What Do You Do When...
you are at a party, and someone who you should not correct (i.e. someone of an older generation), comes up, gives you a big hug and says "JAY...HOW ARE YOU???"
Jay is not my name...it is not even close!
I just kinda blankly stared momentarily and then followed through on the conversation as if nothing was wrong!
These are the tough decisions in life. Hmmmmm

The Great 8 (Ovie)
Why I love Alex Ovechkin...his use of English is really classic stuff...
On how he found out right before a flight that the Capitals had signed Vokoun:
“So right before the plane, I go to restaurant with my friends. So we’re sitting and eating and my friend go to Internet and he said, ‘What the hell is going on right now? Capitals signed Tomas Vokoun.’ I said, ‘No way. Joke.’ So we start talking and have a good discussion, ‘No, it’s unbelievable, we just signed Tomas Vokoun,’ and I said, give me the phone.
“So I texted a guy who live here in D.C. and he said yeah, it’s true. So all the guys who sit in there was so happy, like a bomb in the restaurant. ... It’s nice he’s right now in our team and not a different team because it’s hard to play against him.”
You cant make this stuff up.

Watering
I have a bad habit of watering plants on mornings or nights just before major rainfalls...that really pisses me off.

Armchair Parenting...
So I officiated a bunch of summer league lacrosse games this past weekend, and for the most part it was very easy, despite the heat...All of the games were U15, U13, and U11, which makes it even easier...
To that end, it is HARD to believe some of the things that come out of parents mouth, especially when in front of other parents, as they stand on the sidelines. It never ceases to amaze me, how silly someone is willing to make themselves sound, in an open environment, especially in front of children.
I was thinking about things that I might say to someone in response:
"Do I come to your office and tell you how bad a job you are doing?"
"I might be a bad official, but your child is a horrible lacrosse player"
"F&*^ YOU!"
I am welcome to other "bits of feedback"
