My Two Cents

Anyone else old enough to remember Larry King's old USA Today column? (For that matter, is anyone even old enough to remember USA Today??) On of the main reasons I always wanted a blog was to try writing something like that, so, here goes nothing...

• AC/DC is like the pizza of music -- even their "bad" songs are still some pretty darn good rock and roll.
• Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas.
• Don't fall for that "Manhattan Clam Chowder" scam, folks -- it's just Minestrone with fish.
• If a picture is worth a thousand words, then all the emoji I put in my texts must mean I'm writing one helluva letter over here. (18 PAGES!! FRONT AND BACK!!! #iykyk)
• The difference between a friend and an acquaintance is that when an acquaintance tells you they're going on vacation, you don't feel guilty for not offering them a ride to the airport.
• You know you're old when you think sitting on the porch swing listening to a baseball game on the radio is a fun way to spend a Saturday night.
• When I grow up, I want to be Ted Danson's character from "A Man On The Inside"... or even just Ted Danson, for that matter.
• I'm by no means a religious man, but I know that the Patriots being in first place this late in the season is absolutely one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
• "The Last Samurai" is a criminally underrated movie -- and if you disagree, I will fight you. (But only with a wooden training sword.)
• When I was in high school, I had a buddy whose first car was an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. The bench seat in the back of that car was the most comfortable thing I ever sat on. I told him that when he was done with the car, I wanted to buy the bench to use as my living room sofa. It's a shame he never took me seriously.
