-I like the airport being renamed for Ali but understand some of the latent white supremacists around here probably have issues with it.
-Not many housewives post pictures of cozy outdoor firepits in this weather but it's tough to beat the majesty of an open fire in winter.
-Live reporting of people's weather events at their home (pics of backdecks/yard/driveway) is my latest untenable situation with social media.
-Kiddo is down with the flu. Add an 8 month pregnant wife and things are shaping up for the birthday weekend.
-I can watch guards like Hagans play basketball all/air. Fox, Monk, Knight, etc. Worship that type of athlete as a sports fan.
-Down 6 lbs since January 1. Seasonal austerity is good for the soul (and waistline).
-The Gillette commercial was a good reminder to me that most of the "famous" men labeled cool and admirable in our culture today (Portnoy being a prime example) are the exact opposite of how most of us were raised. Growing up I was programmed to detest the brashness, arrogance, and basic lack of gentlemanly civility that we basically reward now in our culture. I was taught to believe all of that behavior was simple insecurity and to challenge the "authority" of these types whenever required because at their core, they were weak men. I still believe that with this people, and am just waiting/hoping that decency is lauded again.
I am no angel and have too many shortcomings to list, but just making an observation as I'm about to bring a son into the world. Perhaps it's just entertainment and I'm being ridiculous, but I've been trying to get my bearings about "manhood" and what I want to impart on the little dude in the coming years.
