First Thursday in November…
Today’s music trivia is a change of pace and his music is
the farthest thing from Rock & Roll music there probably is. This artist is a New Jersey crooner from way
back in his Rat Pack days. The pride of Hoboken, Ol’ Blue Eyes definitely sang
songs his way to the point of loss of recognition. Into his 80s this man still performed music
and his Las Vegas stints at the Sands Hotel and Casino were legendary. Singing classic songs such as, “Strangers in
the Night”, “New York, New York”, “Come Fly with Me”, and “My Way”, this
singer/actor captured a generation of loyal followers. His death in 1998 affected many of his loyal
fans over the years. Can you name this artist who was nicknamed, “The Chairman
of the Board”?
Yesterday’s trivia answer was correctly identified as
Fleetwood Mac, by Patti K-W, our winner.
Patti, I owe you one when I see you next. J Thanks everyone, and keep playing our game!
Today is our Wingman Day here at work which means we sign up
for classes to build unity in the workplace as well as educate the workforce
about whatever they decide. Took a class
called, Financial Jeopardy, and we literally played a game of Jeopardy as a
class. It was only 45 minutes long, but
it was okay to sit through it. I was the
only person in the class to know one answer, which made me feel smart for about
5 seconds. I won a little bag of
shredded currency. What the heck am I
gonna do with that? I guess I’ll set it
up on my shelf with my little toys that I have in my cube.
My sister had her shoulder surgery earlier this week back in
Illinois. She sounds like she is on the
mends okay. I am sure it will take
several weeks for her to begin to use it again with little or no pain. Hoping she heals up okay and is up and moving
again shortly. I guess time will tell
the tale.
Been driving my car this week instead of my bus, Linus. It feels funny sitting so low to the ground,
maybe 6 inches of the deck, rather than the 3 feet up I normally sit in the bus
and can see over almost everything. The
acceleration, braking, and handling is so far superior to the bus, it is
totally on another scale. It is one end
of the spectrum compared to the other end of the spectrum. Red compared to violet. Ying compared to
Yang. I can just think about passing
someone in front of me and then it happens with a flick of the wrist and a
slight depression on the accelerator.
The pass has been completed and on to the next target. In the bus, I see a hill and have to plan my
acceleration as soon as I see the hill in front of me. Totally opposite vehicles designed and built
basically by the same guy and the same company.
In my Carrera, I basically lay down when I am driving. In my bus, we are sitting straight up and as
vertical as possible. Totally opposite vehicles,
like I said.
Until next time… Be Good!
