There's a Blue Devil on his hat.
I'll take a better picture tonight after the game.

Help!
I'm having bad feelings about tonight's game. Michigan is pretty tough and I feel it will take a much better effort than was shown against Tennessee. And it's gonna have to come from all 5 positions. They only lost one player from last year's team.
The only impression I got out of the Vols was that the only real talent they have is in their backcourt. The guys up front were big but they lack true talent. Michigan does have talent and I also feel bad because I took the time to compliment them last year, after the tournament matchup in Charlotte, to a couple of Michigan folks that shared an elevator ride at the parking deck.
Maybe it would help if I changed my spelling to "Meeshagin".

Julie and I are going to a sports bar to watch it. I'll have my laptop. Michigan will definitely give us a good game. I'm not nervous, or scared...but I am not expecting guaranteed victory.

I missed the first half at a church service.
We watched the second half at a restaurant in Oak Ridge. We had never been in there before, and when we walked in, I told the waitress I wanted to sit where we could watch the game on the small TV on the wall. She said, "Would you rather sit over here?" and pointed us to a table where I couldn't see the small TV. I frowned until I realized there was a HUGE TV on the wall visible from that table, so we sat there.
I gave her a big tip.

That was a fun game.

Yes, it was. I was a bit worried about this one; I'm glad it went as well as it did.

I went shopping tonight and learned that one of my favorite stores is dropping prices 20 percent on Friday. They have lots of good stuff, and I will be able to knock out a lot of shopping at one fell swoop.

GRRRR!
It is "strike a chord," not "strike a cord."
Also, they are "vocal cords," not "vocal chords."

Just be careful you don't knock out a lot of shoppers with 1 fell swoop.

Hmmm, belts aren't on my list yet, but that could change.
My method of shopping is one present for the donee, one present for me. Retailers love me.

If you were on my Christmas list, you would have just given me a big hint. But you're not on my list. Should Santa's elves alert someone who has you on his or her list?

I am the last person in the office. Everyone else went home.
It's not fun anymore. I think I'll go home, too.

Nah, I'll pick one up for myself. I'll let Santa get me better stuff than a belt!

There are three of us left in the clinic. I have one patient left to see. If he doesn't show up in 10 minutes, we're outta here!!
