Easter Eggs

Just before Easter, we got a chance to see my nephew color his first Easter eggs.

Yes, that's my wife decorating eggs as well!

More on Purdue coaching

I was going to write a post about who I think should be the next Purdue women's basketball coach. However, it's always better to let the professionals do the writing. Here is an excellent article citing why Stephanie White should be the next coach. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Purdue's Next Coach

The Journal-Courier has a poll up to see who readers want as the new Women's basketball coach. Here's the link. I'll post my thoughts on who it should be later on. The picture at the right should give you a clue though.

Darkness Saving Time

Can someone explain daylight savings time to me? One reason that I had always heard was that daylight savings time gives us more hours of daylight during the evening. More daylight means we use our lights less, thus we conserve electricity. Here's what I don't understand though: What about that extra hour of darkness in the morning? I had been used to the sunrising before I left for work. I was much more awake in the morning and I didn't have to flip on every light in my house to make it to the kitchen. Now it's pitch black when I get up and I use every light to make my way down the hall in the morning. How does this make sense? I'm not a morning person in any sense of the term, so having a little natural sunlight was much more helpful to me at 6:30 a.m. than it is at 8:30 p.m. I don't really care if Indiana goes on daylight savings time, Eastern time, Central time, Pacific time or Greenwich-mean-time. However, I would like to know the official rationale for the change. I'm going to go get a Mt. Dew now. Would one of you be so kind to come shine a sun lamp through my window tomorrow? Thanks!

Here I am...live and in color!

Need to see what I look like? Well here I am.

Selling My Story

For years I've been asked why I don't have a blog. Let me explain why. There was a Seinfeld episode where Kramer sold his life story to Elaine's boss (See #148). Even though they were dull and odd stories (like being on his way to return a pair of pants and falling in the mud ruining the very pants he was returning), they were his dull and odd stories. Anyway, later in the episode, Kramer is at a party and has nothing to talk about. That's the way I feel. If I fill up an internet site with tales of inconsiderate coworkers, rude commuters, things my wife thinks I do that's odd, and the plethora of Purdue commentaries, I won't have anything else to talk about. However, I rarely go to parties and I tend to repeat stories anyway (most of which people have no interest in anyway). So, here I go. I may post daily or I may forget all about this tomorrow. Hopefully, though, this will give you, my loyal friends, a place to browse to when you find yourself with a few seconds to waste. As a friend of mine is fond of saying...Enjoy, won't you?
