Random Ruminations...

  • Getting stuck behind a dumptruck traveling 20 MPH in a 40 MPH zone sucks. Being the 10th vehicle stuck behind a dumptruck traveling 20 MPH in a 40 MPH zone sucks even harder.

  • Listening to Toby Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now?", it struck me that the song has a lot less emotional impact when the list of girls to whom the song could apply couldn't easily be narrowed to a top ten, let alone just one...

  • At the risk of losing all my tough guy cred, I will admit to coming to a complete stop in the middle of the road (with no one behind me, of course) so that the bumblebee stuck on my windshield could re-take flight. What can I say? Having kids is turning me soft...

  • Even though I've been doing it for well over a year now, getting up at 4:30 in the morning so that I can get to the gym before Mrs. G. has to leave for work at 6:00 really, really, really sucks...

That is all.

I've stopped on the side of the road...put my car in PARK, then GOT OUT, just to help a turtle get out of the KZ.

I stop the car, get out, pick up the turtle & place it comfortably on the other side of the road. Every. Time.

Always have.

NO ONE believes when my wife tells them how much of a softie I am.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Do want. SRSLY.

I remember a few chiquitas from college who deserve a serenade...

re: Turtles in the road: last time I tried to help a turtle out of harm's way, the little f*ck*r tried to bite me.
