My Saturday was better than your Saturday
-
I went to the Texas-Nebraska game on Saturday and the Longhorns came from behind to win in the 4th Qtr. (They were down 17-3). Being at DKR stadium on a Saturday afternoon never gets old. My friend and I planned this weekend trip under the guise that we needed to spend some quality time with our sons. I only get to go every couple of years, and it is always great, but the whole experience for the weekend was better than great -- it was outstanding!
The weather was perfect.
My friend didn't get to enjoy an upset.
Great quality time with my son.
We made new friends.

Responsibilities

There is a Federal Express commercial that makes me laugh but also causes discomfort. Here is a partial transcript:
Meeting Leader: "Ok the presentation is due tomorrow -- let's make sure everyone knows their usual responsibilities"
Meeting Leader: "Jeff - you keep feeding me old information."
Jeff: (nods confidently)
Meeting Leader: "Dean - I want you to keep not living up to your resume"
Dean: (nods confidently)
Meeting Leader: "Sue - you're in charge of waffling"
Sue: "Are you sure?
Meeting Leader: "Gerome - you'll talk a big game, but deliver nothing"
Gerome: "Let's do it!"
Meeting Leader "Rick - can you fold under pressure for me?"
Rick: "Like a lawn share"
Meeting Leader: "Ted - you just keep thinking everyone is out to get you"
Ted: "They are."
The reason I feel discomfort, is because at one time or another I have played the part of each meeting participant. Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to track myself and hopefully not be a Jeff, Dean, Sue, Gerome, Rick or Ted...
Gerome is my absolute favorite, but I think I've been doing more Sue lately...
