Good Feelings for Your Cup

Doing class prep at the moment and this is my Spring training: getting things organized for the big season that will run from the winter cold to June fever. In my mind, every student is ready for class and they're eager to learn. This feeling passes after about five seconds into the class, but for now, this is a perfect semester.

When I am president...king...okay, DEMI-GOD...I will decree that every day begin with a good omen. Your coffee will be extra smooth and won't burn. You'll get a couple extra miles out of that $3 gallon of gas. You'll always have twenty boxes of cereal in your cabinet to choose from (note to Aunt Lily: you guys are so damn cute - never change). You'll wake up to two rainbows and a warm rainshower. That last one actually happened in Carson this morning.

Guess I'm feeling the emotional letdown after days of building up to the interview and, in retrospect, I completely overstressed on the entire issue. The upside is I was as prepared as anyone can be for an interview (except for a possibly fatal error...which I'll discuss down the road). The people there at EXS are friendly and I gave them a great presentation. Man, I was relaxed and hitting on all cylinders. The absolute best thing about the whole experience is the last time I left UNR, I had a bad taste in my mouth that lasted for years. If yesterday was my last interview and last "behind the counter" day at The School on the Hill, then all is good and that bad taste is totally washed away.

Super Bowl prediction: Pittsburgh 31, Seattle 24

And the final Football HOF will be out later today. My prediction from an earlier entry: Aikman, Madden, Moon, and White.

If it were up to me, though:
1. Troy Aikman
2. Harry Carson
3. L.C. Greenwood
4. Warren Moon
5. Thurman Thomas
6. Reggie White

That would be an awesome freshman class.

And why the picture? Because the second decree I would issue as a DEMI-GOD would declare all blogs must have at least one very cool picture of Red Skelton. Reason, you ask? Just because.
