It's Been Awhile

Hello readers. Work has consumed all of my blogging time over the past week and for that I apologize. Please enjoy the view.

You Caught That With What?

The story behind this is worth the read.

Who's Hotter Part IV

No I didn't forget. In honor of the Romo feud going on between the two of them, today we battle Jessica vs. Carrie. I look forward to your comments.

Lighting Bolt

Ok, one more Olympic post and then I will leave it alone for a bit. Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter won the 200 meter sprint last night, shattering Michael Johnson’s previous record. It was very impressive.

Well, I was listening to 810 sports radio this morning on my way into work, as I do every morning, but Thursday’s they invite ESPN’s Buster Olney on to talk sports. I look forward to this segment every week. This morning’s topic of conversation was Usain Bolt and how his speed translates into “English”. Buster said that a group of NFL analysts mapped out the overall average speed of Bolt’s run in the 200 meter race, it averaged 27.5 mph. That is speeding in a school zone. Secondly, they translated that speed into a 40 yard dash time. You ready for this… 3.55 sec. – Goose bumps are the only words I can gather. The current fastest NFL 40 yard dash is Adrian Peterson, 4.22 sec.

Wouldn’t Bolt look great running a fly pattern opposite Dwayne Bowe?

Victory

Congratulations ladies on your second consecutive gold medal. Not a single loss in the last two Olympic games. Pretty, damn, impressive. Did any of you happen to catch the match last night? It was pouring rain the entire time and the Americans ended up sweeping the match two games to none. After the victory they ran around and around the stadium, awkwardly hugging everyone from their parents to the stalker in the second row.

I don't know if anyone watched Bob Costas' recap after May and Walsh were interviewed, but he was hilarious. He said, "Well, May and Walsh do it again. Looks like they are going off to find someone else to hug." - He just snuck that right in there. Very subtle, and very nicely done Bob.

Air vs. Water

Quite the predicament I ran into this week – Stay in town and watch this from my balcony or go to the Ozarks and watch this from a nice boat. Yah, I know, pretty tough. Well, I decided to make the trip down to the lake and pass up the air show. With summer winding down, the number of lake weekends are limited. Also, the planes are running their test flights throughout the week, so I will get some good action from my new “winducle” – my new cubicle has a window that faces the downtown airport.

Vote

Ok, obviously my last voting question didn't go over too well. Well readers, it's time for you to chime in and get some recognition on the idea comes. I am all ears, or eyes in this case, to any idea you present. Leave an idea in the comments section or drop me an email of something you think others would enjoy casting a vote on. If you don't come up with anything interesting, it will be Obama vs. McCain. And we all know who will win that vote.
