No, not the four legged ones, the ones in blue and white hoops. Not only did the Cats lose by two points to Sydney, but they lost longtime President Frank Costa. When he and CEO Brian Cook took over at Geelong, the organization was in disarray. When Costa stepped down in 2010, the Cats hadContinue reading “Cats had a rough weekend.”

Birthdays are overrated
Waited up until 3pm for my cakes to arrive, so I didn’t get much sleep last night. Work seemed to drag, but at least I got it done on time. I was going to share my cakes with my coworkers, but a lot of them were scheduled off. Except for the mod squad, most ofContinue reading “Birthdays are overrated”
I am back
I decided to get back to writing on the blog again. Today is my birthday and I am waiting for some Smith Island cakes I ordered from back home. It is an eight layer cake and I figure I may never get another chance to try one. Usually I go to Braum’s and get anContinue reading “I am back”
Shift Change
If you shop at Walmart and hate dealing with people stocking shelves, senior management hears you. In five weeks, we are going back to do most of our stocking after the stores close. Some people are not going to like it, but avoiding 9-5 Mon-Fri is a must for me. Night stockers are dropping likeContinue reading “Shift Change”
Cats beat Swans, clinch double chance
Cats let an inferior Sydney squad hang around far too long in a 69-63 win this morning. With one game left the Cats are locked into fourth place. The eight finalists are locked in, but the matchups will be determined by the results of tomorrow morning’s game between Port Adelaide and Collingwood. If Port winsContinue reading “Cats beat Swans, clinch double chance”
Nearing senility
All the talk about Joe Biden’s mental state promptec me to look up the ages of congressional leadership. The top three Democratic leaders will be 80 or older by the time the next Congress begins. Republican leadership averages 55. I wanted to include Senate leadership, but finding the information I needed in one place provedContinue reading “Nearing senility”
AFL finals race heats up in last week.
The last round of the regular season starts Thursday morning. Four teams are fighting for the last two finals berths. St. Kilda plays Greater Western Sydney for one of them. Port Adelaide and Brisbane are guaranteed two finals games at home and a bye should they win the first final. Richmond, Geelong and West CoastContinue reading “AFL finals race heats up in last week.”
Holidays
It is barely Labor Day, and not only are the Halloween displays up at Walmart, but the Christmas trees have arrived. Thanksgiving displays are missing so far.
Cats clawed by Tigers
Geelong was on the wrong end of a 57-31 whipping by Richmond this morning. It would have been worse if the Tigers could have kicked straight. Now if the Cats want a chance at a top four spot, they have to hope West Coast loses one of its last two or Port Adelaide or BrisbaneContinue reading “Cats clawed by Tigers”
Unexpected day off
At Walmart associates have a WuFlu questionaire to fill out online before work. I was about to fill out mine, when I realised I had today off. Got a little shopping done. I have to go to work early tomorrow to do some long overdue grocery shopping. If I had tomorrow off like I thought,Continue reading “Unexpected day off”
