Today is AHA day. Yes, a squadron of nurses (like, 2, but don’t let that fool you; more than one nurse in the same place is always dangerous. In fact, just one can be trouble) will descend upon my work location, admonishing people about their high blood pressures and tsk-tsking at those who refuse flu shots. Last I saw, the flu shot was rated as having a 60% efficacy rate across all age groups. The older you get, the less likely it is to do anything for you. I suspect that even that 60% number is inflated, and I’d love to see studies testing the efficacy of smudging your home sage and/or taking oil of oregano at the first signs of illness. Oh well, never try to get between people and their religion.

I just read a “news” story that said “pour over” brewing is now the latest scam trend in gourmet coffee. You know, like back when you were in college and you couldn’t afford a Mr. Coffee, so you put a filter in a funnel and poured boiling water over it and into your cup? Yep, that’s “hip” now. I guess that helps to justify paying out the nose for a cup of shitty coffee.

Tonight, they’re unveiling our latest sports team – the Silver Nights of the Major Indoor Soccer League. Good luck with that. If they thought the AHL hockey team had a hard time competing with SU basketball, wait ’til they see how badly an indoor soccer team is ignored around here.

“Hey, it’s cold and snowy tonight. Let’s go see some soccer.”

Somehow, I just don’t think that’s gonna catch on.
