Pretty sure Linkedin just suggested WDSM as a connection. Then I realized we had some classes together at ISU.

Or you can push for the half......

My foot would never stand up to the base for half marathon. At my current age I can run a 5k on 10-12 miles a week and maybe race and improve a little in 5k at 15 miles a week (or maybe jog/run a 10k) but beyond that my foot will definitely blow. It's a minor miracle it doesn't hurt worse than it does now.

The youngest daughter's class was singing "God Bless the USA" in music. She and a couple of friends changed the lyrics of one line in the song to "There ain't no doubt he's got a spray tan."

Also, Mrs. JCyclonee and I watched Bad Moms this weekend. She told my wife, "You don't need to watch that movie. You already live that life."

The smartassness runs strong in this one. Funny. :)

Jury Duty is a riveting process
I got selected for a jury once. The guy had a huge supply of those keys you use to open vending machines. He'd go around trying random machines to see if any of the keys worked and apparently they did. He was also charged with attempted murder, but there was absolutely no evidence to support that charge.

The director of our day care had a conversation with me yesterday about how her fifth grade son would be a great match for my fourth grade daughter. I was thinking it was just her being playful and joking around, but the conversation had a weird seriousness to it. Phrases used included "they would be so cute together", "he is so much nicer than other boys his age", "all of the boys think she is really cute" and "I think she has a crush on him anyway".

Really. Really. Awkward.

First of all, she's nine years old.

Arranged marriages, trending! Any talk of dowry?

Wow, Amazon actually shipped something UPS for once.

Just FedEx signed for my new Dell. Ordered on Friday afternoon. Will now look for the motivation to start the setup process. Comfy old shoe computer is actually running fine but nothing has updated in some time since it's running Vista and even Chrome stopped supporting/updating the browser so I guess it's somewhat vulnerable.

Did you move to Saharan Africa? Are you a Bedouin?

Murder by vending machine key?
The policeman claimed he shot at him and testified he fired back 3 shots. The only witness heard 3 shots nothing more. No gun, no shell casings found. Kind of hard to convict someone of attempted murder or assault with evidence like that.
