I hate when I don’t get unsweetened ice tea.

Read it, don’t read it, I don’t care…just needed to get some things off my chest.

In no particular order of chronology or importance…

On the clock as I have stuff to do today and don’t feel like spending a large part of my afternoon talking to you.  No, not an airplane cast.  Early afternoon.  Semi-speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Let’s move.
2. I have analyzed the MLB top ten rankings and only have one real problem. Steroids or not, no way Bonds should be higher than Mantle.
3. JJ, no pops. I am the DD today for the family dinner, and my wife fell off a trampoline last night and can’t drive.  
4. 
5. She is ok though.
6. She got like 10 comments on her new dress though.
7. I shot hoops Saturday. I forgot how absolutely good I am from three point range.  Shame my knee gave out on me.  I miss playing three hours of pickup basketball in a day.  Ask me about my Norfolk Naval Base story.  It is killer.  Neil Anderson and I destroyed the ego of about 25 guys that day…and then walked out of the gym.
8. I can out eat anyone at deviled eggs, and they came with capers today. STILL not sure what their purpose in life is.
9. Second home in Denver is a good place to eat. Two problems.  One, it is in Cherry Creek, and Cherry Creek sucks as 90% of everyone is pretentious and fake.  Two, the service sucked.
10. They gave me a weird look when I asked for iced tea and then never refilled it.
11. To go along with my bicycle café experience with all flavors of ice tea except for NORMAL unsweetened ice tea.
12. And when I go to a store, how come I have about a 10% chance of buying an UNSWEETENED UNFLAVORED ice tea?
13. Seriously, it bugs me.
14. I might ask what is the special is everywhere I go and wear a backwards hat, but little do the bartenders know I am an ex bartender and probably one of the best tippers that walks this earth aside from really, really rich people.
15. Cherry Cricket is ok though. Great burger.  #4 on my CO list.
16. I remember a day when a lead story on the wire would NOT be that Lionel Messi changed his hair to “platinum blond.”
17. When is fantasy football? Hurry up.  And is Anquan Boldin still playing so I can pick him in the last round?
18. Well, before the kicker…
19. My favorite headline of the week was “Police draw guns on Iowa DL playing Pokemon.”
20. Hey, Chris Sale, you are in contention for the Cy Young. You can’t miss starts.  Uniform problems or not.
21. Mike Piazza. Arguably the greatest hitting catcher in history, and drafted in the 62 rounds interestingly enough.  
22. Ken Griffey. The guy who hit steroid numbers in the steroid era without doing steroids.  Plus, he wears his hat backwards.  
23. At the party last night, I planned on going in the pool and hot tub…until I found the horseshoe pit. Once I find my range, I am pretty untouchable.  One of my most memorable moments in life was when my dad said I (usually played with Matt) could play with him at doubles at Bill Bradley’s election picnic.  My dad was one of the best horseshoe guys I have ever seen OR heard about.
24. I guaranteed a ringer to someone watching me last night. Ask and you shall receive.  
25. My woman left on the Hunger Games before going to get a pedicure. WHY does this movie suck me in so much?
26. When I worked for a movie company, I worked a flick where I hung out with Billy Baldwin and China Phillips, babysat for Jamie Lee Curtis, and drove Donald Sutherland around.  I was told do NOT initiate conversation with Sutherland when I drove him.  Turns out, HE started conversation.  His opening line was “are your parents living or dead?”  Creepy dude.
27. Billy Baldwin was a tool.
28. Jamie Lee Curtis was incredibly cool.  
29. Horrible movie, but what a life those people live.
30. At Brewfest last night, an 80’s band was playing. Thanks for reminding me of the decade that made us turn our collars up and wear LONG pants with cargo pockets.  Where have the good times gone, Bugle Boy?  
31. Cooler is…cooler.  
32. I think Extrovert IPA and Fate IPA were my favorite beers last night.
33. Happy birthday, Joseph.  
34. I noticed you changed your profile picture, brother.  
35. Matt was pretty darn good at breaststroke.
36. Can’t wait until next weekend when the TBT is on again. REALLY enjoyed watching it yesterday.
37. It doesn’t matter where Jeff Gordon finishes today. Just cool he is in back in the saddle.  Or whatever they call it in left turn racing.
38. Great.  LeBron’s KID is good, too.
39. I actually watched the Carlton dance by JT and friends while writing the blog yesterday.  
40. Mike Sadler, Sam Foltz.  Thoughts and prayers.
41. I believe a dude won the Tour de France for the third time and I still don’t really care.
42. Great pic of the girls.  
43. 5 days until Bourne.  With Lindsey’s dad opening night, and by myself for analysis on Saturday.  Sunday again if it is good.
44. Prizes.  I ran into Casey S. last night from work.  I love playing poker with the dude.  So, the prize is…$10.  Expiration is 10am tomorrow morning.  What is my favorite quote from Rounders and possibly my favorite line in anything?
45. Pearson.  $5.  Expiration 10am tomorrow.  Why am I a closet Bama fan?
46. Ryan S.  $5.  Expiration 10am tomorrow.  Who was my favorite player from the 1983 Sixers championship team?
47. Giebel.  $10.  Expiration 10am tomorrow.  How did this blog start?  What reason?
48. Lauren.  $5.  Expiration 10am tomorrow.  My favorite game and only spot I sit in at table.  Another $5 if you name my favorite card in the deck (have to get both to get the second part as it is pretty easy).
49. Hoban.  $5.  Expiration 10am tomorrow.  My favorite baseball player by a landslide.
50. That’s it for today. Hope you enjoyed or are at least are more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
