This post is dedicated to everyone who has ever thanked anyone for an RT (retweet.) I used to do it, but don’t anymore. Here’s why – 1) Clutter. I talk enough here for most streams. 2) I don’t understand why people thank others for passing along information. I’m a fairly nice guy. So part of me wants to follow the general rules of etiquette and do the polite thing. After all, I’m a writer. It’s my nature to reciprocate (see…
Wow. Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints. As a former season-ticket holder, during the worst season in team history, I’m very happy to see the Gold and Black win it all.

But my head says Indianapolis wins Sunday, despite the banged up defense.

The water main out front is busted again. Orange machines and people in orange vests and hardhats converge on the street. I am on my way to a meeting. I start the car and Jimmy Eat World drowns out the machines behind me. I backup, park, close the gate, get back in the car, reverse to the edge of the driveway and then input my mileage on the phone.
