I also recall my first time on TV. I was nervous. I asked a friend who’s in the field of TV and has experience for advice. He said, "Make sure you’re hair’s combed, and try to show up not too drunk.'.

When I see the word asphalt I can’t help but think of it as ass fault.
In HS, I was part of a relay team. We worked on the “sightless handoff” and used key words to let the next man know when to start running and when to reach back for the baton.
Our two key words: KICK ASPHALT
I’m looking at mortality tables on mort.SOA.org and all I can think of is “Will it blend?”

I’ve got the kid across the street trained to come and ask for popsicles, which he now does multiple times per week. But now he’s asking for three. I e for him, one for mom, one for the baby. Do I care?
I suggested today that maybe the baby was a bit young and got told no, hes a year and he loves popsicles.
Then I say ‘youre welcome!’ Because he never says thank you lol.

Google maps says “You made it to work “ as if that’s some big accomplishment or wasn’t expected 
I mean, sometimes it is.

My phone has figured out that I do taco Tuesday at the same place most weeks now. When I get in the car on Tuesday it tells me how far it is to the restaurant. Hey, it’s $1.50 tacos and they are delicious.

It is difficult to be mildly interested in something. For example, curious about a small college football game score. Have fun wading through a metric ton of ads commentary and COLLEGE FOOTBALL FEVER to try to find it.

Just release a bunch of cats everywhere. Problem solved. 
Foster son’s baseball team is terrible. They are an hour in and still only in the 2nd inning. Thankfully they don’t let them play after an hour and a half has elapsed, if they haven’t gotten through all six innings.
My middle school English teacher is here, apparently his son is on the team. It’s a bit awkward calling someone “Mr. So and so” in your late 30’s, but also just as weird to call them by their first name when you never did before.
I had a little crush on the guy back then. This wasn’t the hot English teacher who went to prison for sexually assaulting a student, that was in high school. This guy was a total dweeb, seems like he still is. Guess my tastes haven’t changed much since I was 12.

Seven years ago I bought a $500K insurance policy to cover me between the ages of 45-54 at a cost of $435/yr. Even though the risk is higher later on, I think I no longer need the coverage.
Looking at this life insurance table:
https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html
it would suggest my probability of death each year during that time frame is between
0.004137 and 0.008394. If you multiply those amounts times $500K you get annual “pure premiums” between $2,069 and $4,197
Then I found another mortality table here:
and this time the probabilities were between 0.001019 and 0.001946 resulting in pure premiums between $510 and $973.
That’s still way too high considering acquisition costs and profit. I think the only main consideration is that I haven’t accounted for the fact that I am a nonsmoker. In any case, I was surprised how different those tables were. BUT IANALA so what do I know.
Oh, that first table is a population table that you’re looking at. Insured tables will be quite different. People who buy life insurance are WAY healthier than the population at large.
I got distracted
Oh…I may be able to change my shorts, but i can’t change my genes.
