Oooh, also there’s this cool thing on the news about the technology that head coaches use to talk to their quarterbacks on the field - it goes from those gigantic Motorola headsets, through a scrambler, to a speaker in the QB’s helmet. I think it’s one-way only though. And the NFL officials have the ability to cut off the signal when the play clock reaches 15 seconds, to break communication. That would be the coolest job ever.
They also had a soundbyte of Mark Brunell (with what looked like two black eyes) saying in classic geezer-style: I remember back when we had to rely on hand signals, yada yada…
Yeah, thanks for underlining how old our QB is. Thanks.

are you really a closet bigot?

I found out last night that it’s Restaurant Week in DC :-O… So there’s only four days left, which means all of the new really hot restaurants are booked already. Crap. But, we are going to Rosa Mexicano with friends on saturday, and having a shexy Italian brunch at Sette Bello on sunday. Yums. Hmm.. I wonder if I can fit in a dinner on friday too. Maybe I need to start thinking about working out, rather than planning out where I am going to eat my next fifty-eight meals.
It’s been unseasonably warm here in DC lately.. still chilly for me since I prefer the stifling humidity of high summer, but warm enough to not freeze an egg on the sidewalk. Kevin and I went to the FDR memorial on monday night and took a little bit of a walk around the monument and along the water. It was very peaceful and a good way to start the week.
I’ve been following the Alito confirmation hearings - I usually hate talking politics but I’ll make this one exception - how ironic is it that the democrats are frustrated about Alito saying he would keep an open mind about Roe vs. Wade? What did they want him to say? That he had made up his mind already? What kind of supreme court justice would he be then? Open mind… the bastard! The democrats are grasping at straws, pulling at obscurities and technicalities.. but the entire hearing has become a circus. A republican trying to help Alito’s case actually uttered the words Are you really a closet bigot? Thanks for the help, buddy! Ok that’s enough of that. Side effect of living in DC.
