Initial Impressions

1.       After hearing him on WEEI yesterday I can honestly say that Charles Barkley is the funniest man in sports.  I could listen to him talk all day.

2.      An old couple went to the supermarket today, the woman got out and went inside.  The car alarm started going off and the old man did not know what to do so he sat in the passenger seat with his fingers in his ears.  I immediately knew that was going in here.

3.      Does anybody know where that Fiber One salesman is from?  British accent and Middle Eastern?  Also why is he never mad that people are opening the boxes and eating the cereal in the supermarket? 

4.      The ‘that’s a low price’ guy from Staples needs to get smacked.

5.      Sometimes great things come from where you’d least expect, it means you should look everywhere for your happiness, not just in the safe places you know.

6.      The best way to find out the truth about something is to ask.  Yeah, I know, real deep insight, but I am notorious for jumping to conclusions in my own head.  Usually right, but not always.

7.      I believe that Stephen Strasburg is about to take baseball on a wild ride.  14 K’s in his debut?  Are you kidding?  Pirates or not the kid is money, could Washington be a playoff team in the next few years?  I think so.

8.      My nephew Landon decided to run out through the backyard right after his bath.  Literally had to catch him before he dove in the mud, I made a great save though, good uncle I am.

9.      Landon also just beat the hell out of me, jumping on my back and grinding my face into the rug, he’s 2 now, imagine when he’s a teen?  He’ll be using me as a backpack.

10.  My niece Emma was online looking for YouTube, what she found was YouPorn, absolutely classic we laughed, she was mad.

11.  Sending my thoughts and prayers to 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, attempting to be the youngest person to sail around the world alone she is feared lost at sea off the coast of Morocco.

12.  Tonight is Game 4, Celtics/Lakers.  Got no gut feeling on this, just hope that the C’s can tie it all up!
