Sometimes being an NFL player...

Doesn't turn out to be all it's cracked up to be.   http://www.gridirongreats.org/BrianDemarcoPage.html

It's tragic that the NFL uses these people up, grows fat off their talents, and then throws them away.

Watching Mythbusters.....

And I see that the build team is wearing electronic earmuffs while testing out the "surfing with dynamite" myth.   I had to figure out what they were, and I'm now certain that they're using the Peltor Tactical 6S.   Good choice.   I have a pair of the Peltor Tactical 7S muffs, and they're great.  I approve.  Now back to your regular programming.

More proof that criminals aren't the brightest of bulbs.

Best.  Disguise.   Ever.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22639173/

Go directly to jail.  Do not pass Go.  Do not collect $200. 

Sweet.

An interesting quote...

On a concept far too few people seem to understand.

""Buying a bigger house isn't an investment," warned Wall Street Journal columnist Jonathan Clements. It's "a lifestyle choice — and it comes with a brutally large price tag."

From this article:  Big Homes, Big Problems - How the size of our houses inflated the housing crisis

Back to work.

Well, the holidays are over, and now that the new year is in full swing, I'm back to work.   The days off were nice, but at the same time, I'm glad to be back in the saddle and focused again.
