Odds and Ends

Gators Again
Another day, another major national championship for my wife's gators. Congratulations Gators. Alligators are green, and so is envy.

In other college basketball news, it seems our coach (WVU's) is headed to Michigan. Thanks Coach Beilien for some very exciting years. Let's hope this is an opportunity for WVU to get the right guy in to take it to the next level (ahem.... Bob Huggins).

Opening Day
I took the day off Monday for opening day; a tradition I plan to continue every year with my son. I told Mrs. U about this yesterday and she's a little worried that I'll be pulling him out of school every year to watch a baseball game. My point is.... what will he remember when he's old and gray and looking back on his life? Will he remember a math test, or will he remember watching the Cubs lose with his Dad?

He's just 6 months old (as of Sunday), and already we have so much in common. After the Cubs loss, we both showed our displeasure by spitting up on our jerseys.

TV Tonight
If you're the voting kind, remember to vote for Sanjaya tonight on American Idol. Last Tuesday, as I left work, I reminded my coworkers "Vote for Sanjaya!". I'm convinced there is not one single phrase I could have shouted that would have offended more people at one time. Wow. People are very emotional about this and really want him gone.

Dave,

Have you ever voted for a reality tv series? Lisa and I watch quite a bit of reality tv, but have never picked up the phone or sent a text message. If you have never voted before, which show would you be most likely to participate in the voting process?

Hey Lang,

Nope. Never voted. I guess the closest I've come is with the whole Sanjaya business.

I prefer my television to be mindless. The only interactivity I like is yelling at the screen. Otherwise, I embrace my apathy and wear it like a badge of pride.
