Did you know that it gets hot in Phoenix?

Its April 21st, and at 11:30 AM the thermometer on my porch past 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I was really hoping to at least make it to May before our first 100+ day.
Sure, I could loosen the purse strings and turn the AC down a notch.. with it set to 80 I average 90 in my office during the day (stupid computers), but I like being a cheap son of a bitch.

I guess I will move to the living room to finish my homework. I only have about 3 hour worth left anyway. Its a light week (but only because an assignment was pushed back by 5 days).

An era comes to an end. No one sheds a tear.

John Madden is retiring from football announcing. For many he has been a staple of an American past time. For me he has become a staple of football comedy. I can't say I will miss his commentary, but I will miss making fun of his commentary. I will miss placing bets on the clock time for his first screen drawing. I won't miss his overstating the obvious and less than insightful commentary. Sure, he often times has insights on the game and is great for the novice football fan but he has been getting worse with age and his insight has become less insightful.
Goodbye John Madden, happy retirement.
