I’ve been chosen.

If you’ve read my past posts, you know what that means. So I can’t say anything else about it.

But here’s what I CAN say:

• If you factor in the flu I had Friday, Saturday and Sunday and my new “duty” Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I’ve been a NON-factor at work and home the past week. It’s like a week of my life has been ripped from my pages. It’s driving me crazy. Plus, I’m sleepy. Help.

• Brett Favre really was a great quarterback. Even though he NEVER won a game in Dallas, I can now say — since he’s out of the league — he’s one of the Top 5 quarterbacks of all time. And I can say that without my wife sticking her tongue out at me.

• We started a puppy class for Miles on Bon-Clyde in Sanford. Go to Jennifer’s blog to read more about it. I think it’s going to be an adventure, but a fun one.

• The other night, HBO showed Empire Strikes Back in HD, and it was the first Star Wars film I’d ever seen in Hi-Def. This really makes me wonder when Star Wars will go Blu-Ray, and when they do, I wonder if I’ll buy the complete set (since I already have most of the complete set on VHF and THE complete set on regular DVD).
