Lots of thoughts on my mind this morning, none of them important enough to warrant a blog posting in and of itself. But I need to clear them out of my mind.
September 9, 2009
The 9-9-09 calendar sequence seems to be important, especially in China, where couples took advantage of the auspicious string of 9’s and got married today. The same thing happened last year on Aug. 8 (8-8-08).
If that be the case, then 9-9-99 must have been one helluva day for marriages. Which begs the question: “How many couples married on 9-9-99 (or 8-8-88 for that matter) are still married today?”
Can someone look that up for me?
USC vs. Notre Dame
Regis Philbin, on his morning show today, waxed enthusiastic about how great Notre Dame’s football team is this year. He even predicted they would beat the powerhouse University of Southern California and go undefeated to the National Championship.
This is essentially the same team that failed miserably last year and almost cost Coach Charlie Weis his job. The only difference is that they’re a year older.
Fat chance, Regis. Keep on believing, ‘cause you’ll soon be grieving.
Gecko Tails
Geckos detach their tails when they are threatened, leaving them to wiggle around and confuse the predator.
Have you noticed how a wiggling gecko tail resembles the tip of an octopus’ tentacle? I wonder if any sushi restaurant ever made a mistake and served a gecko tail instead of ta-koh? Hmmmm.
Smelling Aid
If a kid has his finger up his nose, maybe he’s just adjusting his smelling aid? After all, you adjust your hearing aid by sticking a finger in your ear.
And that’s the way it is – 9-9-09 – and you were there. Now go and get married.

I told Kurt we should have gotten married today! Then he'd have an easy time remembering our anniversary. ;)
