ABC had a report on their site tonight that indicated the southern drawl might be spreading. I believe it. I believe it only because it's been a bitch for me to drop it even though I've been away for most of the last six years. People still remark on it and wonder where I'm from. The look at me oddly when I tell them I was born and raised in upstate New York.
So, if you're in the greater Glens Falls area and you see a guy that looks like the one pictured above and you hear him bust out a "How y'all doin' " it's probably me. Or if you hear him draw out the I in words, it's probably me.
Now to something completely different -- sports. I was watching some football at work, and I took notice of the NFL's new captains patches. It's not a horrible idea, but I think the patch sucks. I think the plain old "C" that you might see on a hockey sweater would look much better. I found some of the captains to be odd choices; Trent Green for the Dolphins offense and Michael Strahan for the Giants defense. In the case of Trent Green, he just joined the team during the preseason, is he really a leader of that team? As for Strahan, he held out for the entire preseason. I know he argues that he was trying to decide if he wanted to play, but I believe it to be a case of a veteran player not wanting to go through the training of the preseason. Either way, he's not the type of player that I would call a captain. Captains are supposed to be leaders of the team. Strahan certainly did not display the characters of a leader by holding out. Listening to the announcers, the C is supposed to promote leadership and values in the NFL, I think it's already a joke. That's about all I have to say about the NFL, since I'm not really a fan, unless it's to watch my cousin playing.
Speaking of the NHL, I am less than thrilled with the Senators new road jersey (i guess they really can't be called sweaters any longer). I liked the old logo with the Centurion's head in profile. I was never really a fan of the 3D head. but I didn't mind it so much when they kept the profile on one of their sweaters. If there is anything I can say that is positive, I like that they have the classic Ottawa "O" on the shoulders. Win some lose some I guess. Though I wouldn't be shocked to find that the Senators eventually unveil a third jersey with the '92 logo featured.
In news from the new apartment, I have decided that I agree with my roommate. The bathroom needs a mirror. Odd that a bathroom wouldn't have a mirror, but I didn't mind at first. Of course, that's because I don't shave regularly, and when I decided it was time to trim, there was no mirror to use, so I had to drag a tall mirror into the bathroom and perch it atop the sink while worked on my face with the trimmer. Otherwise, things are quite nice in the new digs. I also learned tonight that I would have an extra night to myself, which is great, because I wasn't in the mood to have people around tonight.
