No Time For a Cold

This is not good. After riding back from L.A. with some sniffly people, I woke up today with a sore throat, slight cough, and sniffles. Yes, we are a close team, but this is ridiculous. So, I have some Dayquil with me, some throat lozenges, and I took extra Vitamin C this morning. And I don't want Kathie burdened with a cold on top of a broken finger.

On that topic, she goes to a specialist on Monday, so we will know more then. I don't know the name, but he is somewhere in PHX city limits. That's all the hints you'll get.

If you feel like playing a game, though, I'll take you on. Check out today's Clarity of Vision.

Did any of you notice my college roomie trying to blackmail me over our TPIR Fan Photo? I think he will soon hit me up for money. The joke's on him, though, because I don't have any.

The next two days promise to be a whirlwind of activity. We have to validate converted data (I think it used to be Catholic...) and I still need to get those training docs ready. The boss and his boss are getting a lot of pressure to train the organization. And no wonder. Since the screens are already in production, everyone must already follow the new process...and we have not even told them what it is yet.

Am I trying to get out of writing more trivial detritus in my blog? Well, yes, maybe. However, as you have no doubt seen, not having anything to say has never stopped me before.

OK, early dude is booting his computer over behind me, so I will leave you with today's calendar trivia: under what name did female bull terrier Honey Tree Evil Eye gain fame as a spokesdog in TV ads? I admit that I did not know this. I should remember in the future, though, as it is hard to forget a name like that. Anyway, it was as Spuds McKenzie, "the original party animal" in Bud Light beer commercials that aired in the late '80s.

You are on your way to challenging me for the Trivia Master title. Go practice and we can trivialize again tomorrow.

That's not blackmail. I just have this abiding desire to spread your glory.

Okay, Craig! Enough is enough! What have you done with my brother?
