Tom is Away

spending a bunch of hours on class planning, etc.

So it turns out that Kevin Reilly, that awful broadcaster from the Eagles preseason games, is a former Eagle who lost his arm (and 5 ribs, and a large portion of his right shoulder) to cancer. I still think his broadcasts are brutal. But interesting to know.

last night of summer vacation. Saddest night of the year.

out to buy fixins for dinner, then trying to get it cooked up before my old lady gets home

crabs officially ordered for next week. they better still be alive by then.

doing school work all day.

I want to go to there.

back from the gym? what the hell.

loading up fantasy football rosters

last minute draft prep.

according to gym-mandated fitness test, I’m in pretty good shape for someone who hasn’t exercised in about 4 years.

now, prepping the house for the draft.

mandatory meeting with a trainer at the gym before I’m allowed to do anything there.

it’s amazing to me that my employer needs to send out mass e-mails explaining to people that the best way to avoid the swine flu is to wash your hands and cover your mouth when coughing/sneezing. Are there people who don’t understand these things still? If so, how are they attending/teaching at college?

If this preseason announcing crew is ever called upon to work a regular season Eagles game, I might have to call in a bomb threat.

Anyone who’s going to announce an NFL game should be require by law to learn that the team in Jacksonville is not the “Jag-wires”

so, obviously, I’m watching the game.

watching bits of preseason NFL games on the NFL network is a nice reminder that the local broadcast crews suck in every city, not just here.

trying to decide whether I feel like cutting the grass before people come over tomorrow
