Some random thoughts while waiting for our flight at Denver International in what has to be the longest concourse ("B") in civilization...
- We know its quite popular to bitch about it but count us among those who get truly annoyed by CNN at loud volumes being pumped into the seating section by the gates. Its (nearly) inescapable... we did, however, find a quiet corner out of earshot where we could read the Philadelphia Inquirer and catch up on city politics shenanigans... hey, they're just like us.
- Our heretofore completely useless talent for being able to identify the dailies for about every major American city finally paid off while doing the inflight crossword puzzle. 32 Across: Orlando "Sentinel". We feel so validated. Btw, United x-words much more difficult than United Airways on whom we flew out.
- You know you are having a very good time and are keeping busy with cool activities when you don't have the time (or the overwhelming desire) to blog.
- Tragic news: Over the weekend, we found out one of our buddies from Seminary is gluten-intolerant. That means no grain products which, of course, means no (gulp)... BEER! Because we are the friends we are, we will not rest until we locate beer that is not only gluten-free but actually drinkable which our good friend has yet to find. We'll try to keep everyone posted on our research progress.
- Wil b intrstd 2 no how much frthr txtng has crrpted societys alrdy por riting & vocab sklz thru const. use of same.
- We found out Paul Newman passed away late Saturday night after the game. Shame. Of all the great acting and tireless philanthropic work the man did, he will always be remembered by us for what we have yet to do. We haven't yet followed through for a combination of public safety and recognition (inside joke, us?) reasons. One of these Halloweens, we're going to get decked-out in yellow rain slickers head to toe, boots and heavy-duty goggles while carrying a shot-gun just like the guys in "Hud" that had to shoot all the cattle that were stricken with "hoof'n'mouth" disease. That would be so cool, no? We blame Bill Cosby for that maladjustment though we can't exactly remember why.
- We may try to post later this evening when we get home to San Diego.

Bill Cosby is a very funny fellow...RIGHT. side 2, second cut. I had the album memorized, must have impacted my little brother.
'Dawg
I remember only that far but what was the context by which Cos' would work in a "Hud" reference?
He did a one and half minute piece about the cows having a conversation on their way to being shot.
They're running along... that's how cows run....cause they got that thing in th middle.... Where we goin'? We're goin to get shot. How come" Hoof n mouth. Whats that? See that white stuff comming from 'round your mouth? Yep. That's hoof n mouth. Anyway to get out of it? Yep, wipe some of that stuff from around your mouth on 'em.
Thats the whole bit.
That's it.... that's what I remembered. Thanks, 'Dawg.
