I cannot and I mean CANNOT stand clocks that tick. They drive me nuts. I am near certain that's the basis of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Telltale Heart". He couldn't stand the ticking of all of those old clocks. So he wrote a vivid story about madness due to clocks. And then he got sick and died. The moral of the story: don't have clocks that tick or you will go mad and die.
At least, that's what I think.
Boy the Red Sox sure are good this year. Longest losing streak in 13 years...and counting. Though I will say this. Three World Series in a decade....I guess a couple of off years make the good ones all the sweeter. And also....it's still May and the AL East sucks this year. We still have a shot (If the team get remarkably better and fast)
I bumped into an old high school buddy on the train yesterday. Amazing the things you catch up on. People you used to know, good news (kids, weddings, success), bad news (those who have passed or had misfortunes of varying degrees), and just life. He also has a rather unique job with the Catholic Church so I always enjoy his take on different issues. I don't have many of the same opinions as he does, but I do enjoy a perspective that varies from my own. And for all of you job seekers out there of the Catholic persuasion.....apparently working for the Church is a pretty sweet gig.
I shaved. My entire face. No beard. For the first time in nearly three years. It feels odd and when I look in the mirror I do a double take. Who is that devilishly handsome man in the mirror? That and I'm realizing I look more and more like my Dad. God help me.
A guy at work is all about new physical challenges. His new one: 100 push ups in a row. Oh, I am so down for this one. Probably help with my bench pressing too. Apparently there is a plan that will get you to 100 straight pushups in six weeks. I think I'll give it a shot. Hell, it's only three days a week. I go to the gym that much anyhow.
