Post # 91

What should I post about tonight?  Hmmm...let's see...what's coming up in 2012?  The Presidential Election?  Nah.  The Summer Olympics?  Not yet.  (Really, I don't get into the Olympics too much...the commentary ruins it for me, but I'll save that for later.)  The end of the world?  Already posted about that last May when the world was originally supposed to end.  Except that was, like, the 96th time it was supposed to end.  So, call me a skeptic.  My 40th BD?  We'll save that too.   I have a lot of friends in the Class of '92 - this year is your 20th REUNION!!!  What?  Take away a couple of those exclamation points?  OK. 

How about the latest news?  Tim Tebow?  Can't do it.  Playoffs?  Playoffs?  Our lack of winter, and how it might be related to global warming?  Or would I just get annoyed about all of the misconceptions surrounding that topic.  I'll skip that too.

Year-end close?  The latest riveting Accounting topics?  Updates on FASBs and the potential changes in Lease Accounting guidelines?  Hello?  Anyone there?  WAKE UP!!  Sorry...won't go down that road.  Ever.  I promise.  And THAT is a promise you can believe in.  Unlike any of these so-called candidates.  The only thing candid about them is how much in campaign funding they are trying to raise. 

Maybe if they invented electric books 30 years ago, we wouldn't have had to endure the weekly 30-minute sleep fests called Sustained Silent Reading.  Or the Reading Is Fundamental campaign.  Ooops...we were too busy playing outside to read.  Now that kids are all inside reading, we want them outside.  OK, that's not really valid...I know, kids really aren't inside reading.  But I don't want to rant about kids and video games and blah blah blah.

What happened to all those people who were going to boycott the NFL because of the strike?  Or even the NBA?  And speaking boycotts and protests, are we all unoccupied now?  Soon to be re-occupied?

How many times have you written a check this year and wrote 2011 on it?  How many people write checks anymore?  How many places still accept checks?  Doesn't getting stuck behind someone in line writing a check seem to take FOREVER?  How many resolutions have been broken?  I've only written one check.  For rent.  And I correctly wrote 2012 on it.  But (and totally seriously), I forgot to sign it.  I got a call the next day.  They must have been laughing all the way to the bank.  AFTER I signed it, that is.  Must be getting close to 40.  Over the hill, as they say.  And I really have no excuse...not much has been happening lately.  In fact, ain't nothing going on but the rent.

What other milestones?  I'm nearing my 100th post and my 40th pound of weight loss in one year.  Has anyone ever seen an actual milestone?  I think I know where one is, I should find it and take a pic.  That will be a milestone worth achieving - finding a milestone.  

I still can't quite come up with a good post idea...

...but this does count as post # 91.  So there.  :)
