Eat that, Hallmark!

I just had the greatest idea. When people send cards, they should leave them blank, and just attach a post-it with a message. Thus proliferating the life of the card, and saving everyone heaps of money. And saving trees, and giving people the green light to send out cards that they have really enjoyed through the years. Genius!

Sinking In

I broke down for the first time in awhile today at work after reading the Bring New Orleans Back final report that was released this week. Their website is down up and running, and I managed to get a copy of the powerpoint presentation. Here it is converted to pdf. I guess it just hit me again how much of the city really will be lost, and how important it is to do it right.

Dear Dave, I’m awesome. Love, SuperBowl MVP Doug Williams

In today’s “what the hell?” moment, the New Orleans City Council passed a unanimous resolution the other day asking Tom Benson to hire SuperBowl MVP Doug Williams as head coach or other executive, who is currently an executive with the Tampa Bay Bucs.

I have a few concerns.

  1. Why is the New Orleans City Council wasting their time on voting on who they think should be the Saints’ new coach? Isn’t there some kind of infrastructure that needs building? I also wonder if the jackass city councilman who lives here in Atlanta and organized the anti-Mardi Gras protest before the Saints-Falcons MNF game was able to attend that vote.
  2. Why is SuperBowl MVP Doug Williams qualified? Because he coached at Grambling and Morehouse? Seriously.
  3. Why did they pick out SuperBowl MVP Doug Williams? Being from New Orleans, I know that the NO City Council is fundamentally corrupt. SuperBowl MVP Doug Williams is from Louisiana, but what is his connection to the City Council?

If you are wondering why I cannot use SuperBowl MVP Doug Williams’ name without calling him SuperBowl MVP Doug Williams, ask Dave.

The first whinge of the year

I’ve been in Leeds most of this week on a course. It is 300 miles from Poole. Drove up there Tuesday night, 5 hours drive, developed a cold on the way up, spent 3 days in a classroom with thumping head and leaking nose finding it hard to concentrate, drove back tonight trying to see through streaming eyes and got home an hour ago.

Kids and Sarah were pleased to see me. However, I picked Lucy up for a cuddle and she threw up all over me. lol. Welcome home Daddy!

I want to sleep a lot this weekend. However I also want to play with the kids. Maybe I’ll play hide and seek with them and hide in the loft and snooze 🙂
