Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
May your Boxing Day be filled with all the things that make you smile [in bed]
Unknonwn

If you celebrate Boxing day, then you’ll have a smile as you sleep in. If not, ya shoulda taken it off.

Also, Congrats to all that made it through the LDBC. Stupid birthday dinner for the kids knocked me out.

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

have to do disability training for the work, so whilst it’s playing in the background, I’m reading Hippo thoughts and getting the comments post ready. Much better use of my time
/ the disability training is basically common sense, not sure how you fail it

Congrats to Weaselo for beating me in FF by 0.10 points. Now please excuse me, Imma commiserate with year 2000 Al Gore. He lost Tennessee, I left Keenan Allen on my lineup. Same thing.

If we tell Qaaron that his family applauds and supports his decision not to play will that get him out onto the field so we can watch his invermectin filled leg asplode in a meaningless game?

If someone asked me what my greatest weaknesses were I would say that, in addition to caring too much, not letting go of a project until I know it’s perfect, and women with long legs and pony tails, my greatest weakness is an inability to stop watching a terrible TV series even after it’s clearly become terrible. I simply must finish it. The only time I successfully tore myself away from a series was S4 of ‘Westworld,’ the series having gotten so bad that even the promise of see RTD’s (no doubt extremely clean) house was enough to drag me back.

Anyway, in a not-at-all related note, I’m pretty tired after the power failure and subsequent up most of the night dealing with stuff, so I’m going to try to finish S2 of Apple’s ‘Invasion’

If they make a S3 I would prefer that no one told me.

I’ve never gotten the antipathy towards ‘happy holidays’. Do they want people to be unhappy on holidays they don’t personally celebrate? Is it like “Merry Christmas but I hope you feel like crap all through Kwanzaa and your dog pukes on your carpet for each day of Chanukah”?

Because that’s a pretty un-Christian sentiment. I’m pretty sure ol’ Jesus didn’t run around telling everyone to have a horrible Zarathosht Diso

I live near a reservoir, and the road I live on bisects the reservoir. In times of extreme rain, like the last two weeks, the reservoir will come up over the road and the road will be closed. The town puts up signs at the top of the road, and a partial barrier a little farther down. You can still get around that barrier, because there is a State park entrance and a few houses beyond it.

If I had a dime for every car that has paused at the barrier and then confidently swerved around it, then reappeared a few minutes later after getting to the locked gate across the road just past the park, I would be retired and living in a mansion in the Caribbean.

The Dr. Mrs. wants us to bring a party of eight to Din Tai Fung – at the mall – on Christmas Eve morning, which is also a Sunday. Sure. That’ll be easy as pie.

Random updates:
-one of the Christmas lights strands got cut just below the plugs so not sure if I can fix it as the wire was baked into the plug and is cut right at the end of the plug and I haven’t found anything as a replacement on Amazon yet
-today’s both of my kids birthday. Happy 18th and 21st birthday “in game changes” and “halftime adjustment
-so for their birthday we went out for dinner in which I heard some Jamaican version of the LDB. I would not have noticed but Mrs GTD laughed and pointed it out to me, along with something like “rum PA dum done”. FAWK

You know your team is not having a good season when the player they use for the game promo is a cornerback.

I was cleaning out my kitchen today and found an unopened jar of tamarind paste that expired in 2014. That means I must have moved it to California when it was already 3 years expired

I’m lying in bed while attending a Zoom meeting with the camera off and the audio muted. But they can see my name and know I’m there, even though I’m mostly asleep.

I love the 21st Century.

Mother-in-law’s arrival is imminent tonight, followed by five more members of my wife’s family tomorrow. Pray for Rikki – I’ll see you all on the other side.

Me: “That site that I write for-I’ve got a running joke that a black coach practices Voodoo. Is that racist?”

Wife: [stares at me]

Me: “Ok, right. But what if it works IRL?”

Wife: [doesn’t even bother to look up from her phone]

We’re fostering 4 rescue kittens and I went to check on them in our foster room before turning the game on.

I now have 3 kittens sleeping on me. I can not get up.

Peter is the all black kitten on the left, Oliver is the tuxedo kitten on the right, Matilda is the white mottled kitten in the back.

Matilda is the shyest, she stayed in there during my visit, but is friendly enough.

If you have having trouble “loggin in”, once logged in it may say that you are not logged in, at that point, refresh the page. If that does not work, then clear your cache and “loggin in” again.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Stay busy and safe out there.
