Unique Randomness

My random thoughts...brought to you once a week.

• I had a great time this past weekend in Nashville. We went for my wife's Vanderbilt Homecoming Weekend. Got to catch up and visit with her awesome friends AND ate some outstanding food (for the most part).

• Nashville struck me as being very underrated in the culinary scene. There's also a high level of food blogging going on.

• Things I liked about Nashville: cool neighborhoods inside town, very clean, mild climate, friendly folk.

• Things I did not like about Nashville: actually, just one...terrible drivers. No incidents or accidents on my part, but must every driver in that city get in my blind spot?

On to other things...

• Why can't they turn the A/C on in airplanes before take off? Is this another cost-cutting technique, because it sucks ass.

• Pet Peeve: Slow turners: I hate drivers that slow up to almost a complete stop to make a right or left turn.
  

• You know what would be nice? Getting out of my car in Houston in late October, and not having my glasses fog up. High of 91 today!

• I physically can't make it through an entire Black Eyed Peas song. There music gives me the bubble guts.

• In a battle of who's aging faster, my wife has finally caught up to me in having to take lactaid pills before dairy consumption.

• Why do I have a house phone line? Oh, I know. It's so politicians can call me 20 times a day. I remember about three months ago an actual human being that I know called me at home. It felt awkward.

• Congrats to my sister-in-law Rachel, who was just hired to perform for the San Diego Opera in Carmen.

• Quick...who's head is that up there in the pic? You get this one, and I'll be impressed.
