Franklin Mieuli, 1920-2010
The Daily News
1 So…Franklin Mieuli walks into a bar…
2 Bay Area sports legend.
3 Owned the Warriors, partially owned the Niners, did broadcasting,and so much more. Beloved figure, so sad to hear.
4 Rest easy, good soul.
5 Moving on, Part the First: Dude! It’s Monday! Y’all needs tuh REEEELAX mang. Do you have the MONDAYS? You know what that is don’t you? It’s when everything is pretty much a blurrrrrrrrrrr. But dude.
2 Everything is cool, especially if you live in California.
3 There’s this unwritten rule.
4 Haha!
5 So don’t trip, chocolate chip!
6 Mondays are ever so easy, once you’ve been attacked by most everything life could throw you.
7 Fortunately for ALL of us who live in Cali, Monday is an invisible day.
8 Y’all just fly low, and cure those hangovers from the weekend.
9 If I may: Don’t mistake “hangovers” with drinking. Indeed, there IS a connection, but really? Hangovers are ANYTHING you HAD to get done by Monday. I’m pretty certain that the American Heritage Dictionary backs me on this.
10 Actually, it doesn’t.
11 Yeesh.
12 Moving on, Part the Second: I finally broke down and bought this like 46″ ha-UGE flat screen. I couldn’t even tellya the brand, ‘cuz I exchanged about thirty of ‘em.
13 They weren’t up to my standards, which when translated, means my wallet.
14 AnywayZ, we got some sorta Iron Man flick flickering royally HUGE on the darned thing, and I can’t really concentrate on life right now.
15 Allow me to qualify that. I’m a comix fiend since birth, so I naturally LOVE Iron Man. It’s just that I JUST now finished grading 80% of my classes, and am trying to relax a bit.
16 It’s fun, but almost TOO much stimulation for a gentle fellow such as meself.
17 Hopefully, NONE of you bought that.
18 AnywayZ, I think I’m gonna hit the deadline for grades pretty easily this time.
19 If I may remind: grades are to a teacher what midterms and finals are to college folk.
20 We literally have no lives, nor anything beyond blurry vision for around two weeks going into deadline, which is Wednesday at 4.
21 I’m pleased to share that I am almost done!
22 Whew.
23 Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE teaching, and clearly will evermore.
24 But chasin’ papers? Well, we HAVE to assign them, so we HAVE to grade them.
25 Dayum.
26 A librarian libraries, a McDonald’s worker McNuggs, Doctors doc, and Teachers drown in papers. It’s what we do, mang.
27 I’m getting carpal here.
28 We had a skit about all of that years ago.
29 AnywayZ, I’m pretty tuckered dudes!
30 If you don’t mind, I’m gonna get me some sleeeeeep!!!!
31 Remember the mantra? “sleeeeeep!”
32 You guys have a rockin’ Monday. This is where ya make yer moves!
32 With that, I’ll depart.
33 No news, they say…
34 Have a wonderfully lovely day!
35 Peace.
