Two months off

1) I so want to say that I’m in love. And I am truly feeling it since I met her one month ago. But I read an article today that it takes 90 days for the initial feelings of infatuation to pass by. I was pretty surprised, I would have thought maybe 4-6 weeks should cover it. But as the male and the more experienced person in this relationship, it’s on me to set the pace. I really do not want to mess this up.

2) These last two days may have been the most boring two days I’ve ever had at this job.

3) The Mets absolutely broke my heart in the wild card game as they could not score even one run. The only good thing about them losing is the Cubs did not have a chance to end their season. Good luck to the LA Dodgers in the NLCS, regardless if Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz are on the team.

4) As for football, the Jets are 1-4. They’ll probably lose Monday night to Arizona and be 1-5. The only thing left to wonder about is how good of a draft pick will they get for next spring.

5) With the pain of baseball and football, it’s a breath of fresh air to have hockey back. The 6) Rangers opened their 90thseason last night with a home victory over the crosstown rival Islanders. They definitely look faster than last year and the offense appears more dynamic with the additions of Pavel Buchnevich, Mika Zibanejad, Brandon Pirri, and Jimmy Vesey. I definitely think they’re a playoff team if the defense just plays adequately. A Cup contender, that’s a little hard to fathom.

7) Farkle is a pretty outstanding dice game.

8) Garifuna Flava on the South Side of Chicago probably has the best jerk chicken I’ve had, certainly the best in the Midwest. That’s the one cuisine I wish I could find in the western suburbs.

9) Since when did a medium rare steak become warm and red on the inside? It’s all about the hot pink center for me. I don’t go to a lot of fancy steakhouses now, but it seems the more formal the steak place is, the rarer they tend to cook the steak. It’s stunning to me, but I think I need to start ordering my steaks medium.

10) Ring of Honor presents Glory By Honor tonight in Chicago Ridge. The main event is reDRagon of Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly vs. Bullet Club, represented by World Champion Adam Cole and Hangman Page. By no means is this the best card they’ve ever presented in Chicago, but it’s always a treat and an exciting time when ROH comes to town. Tonight should be no different. And to think I’ve been attending ROH shows for 11 years now. It’s pretty remarkable how long I’ve been a dedicated follower of a product that has reignited my interest in attending live pro wrestling.

11) Less than one month till my week-long vacation begins in Costa Rica. I’m certainly excited to say the least. The only thing that doesn’t excite me is the dreaded thought of going back to work after a week away and catching up on e-mails and voice messages.
