Significant Cardiac Stress or Just a Good Time?

Brother Dietrich Passes

Monday December 29th. I liked the following quote:

"I came to Saint John's 42 years ago, never intending to be a monk. What I discovered is that Saint John's is a community where people stand by each other -- they care about each other -- and that there is always room in this community."

Merry Christmas!

I have to get back in the weight room...

there is only 11 months until Fisch's next birthday.

All I can focus on when I watch Oklahoma football...

is the fact that Sam Bradford looks like Sven Sungaard playing football, and the most annoying band in America (they took first place this year, USC #2)

Stuart Tanner v Devin Harris

This looks fake to me, but SI had an article about this guy from London. Is it fake.

Goodbye Daylight

OMG. I will NEVER leave the house. This would be cooler than, than, than, than.....speechless.

Two thoughts I was pondering...

1. You always here the adjective "voracious" associated with reading. Why is that? It is an adjective that means "excessivly eager", but you don't here Cronz say "I am a voracious runner" or Slim say "I voraciously watch the Twins and Vikings". But anyone who reads alot is a voracious reader. Thoughts?

2. Two paragraphs from a WSJ article today.

GM reported light-vehicle sales of 153,404 in November, down from 261,273 a year earlier. (side comment: How ugly is that?)

Looking ahead, GM said it now expects fourth-quarter North American production of 835,000 vehicles, down from its prior view of 875,000. It also expects 600,000 vehicles to be made in North America during the first quarter.

So, GM is producing approximatly 265,000 cars a month, and are only selling 153,000. They are making 112,000 more cars than they are able to sell. I am no great business man, but my radical idea to turn around the car company is STOP MAKING SO MANY FUCKING CARS

Thoughts.
