The Daily News1 Happy Mondeeeeeeeeeee!2 Is there anything happier?
3 I'm WAY happy!
4 Happy, happy, happy!
5 Except for one thing.
6 It's Mondeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
7 Show of hands.
8 Who walking around is ready for today? <visions of Halloween ghouls and of the waking dead blowing through dry trees.>
9 <howling winds.>
10 Uh...anyone home?
11 There's something really exhausting about having a little time off.
12 It's like this weird tease.
13 I had finished all my grading on Wednesday, but then realized that while I was adding up and calculating all the students' grades, I had pretty much ignored all the NEW stuff I had assigned.
14 Ah, vell.
15 It's Fall, and the autumn leaves keep relentlessly dropping everywhere.
16 Life imitates art, or art imitates life, or some deep thing. <more winds...>
17 I made a major attempt at having a life this weekend, but to no avail.
18 I did get a chance to get up to Candlestick and watch the Niners beat the whoevers. Oh yeah. The Rams. I knew it was somebody really good.
19 Whatev. How does Mike Singletary have Troy Smith on the bench all season? This guy did it all, and NO interceptions. Are ya kiddin' me? When Singletary called a random time out yesterday, I started a chant on forty-yard line: "We want Bochy!"
20 And yes, go Buster Posey, hands down Rookie-of-the-Year! <sings like Ashkon>. And are the Raiders really in first place? Did Cal really lose to Oregon by only two? Did Stanford continue winning? Are the Warriors looking fun? Are the Niners seriously a contender? Did our Giants show everyone how to win? Can they throw some particles the Sharks' way?
21 Well, I had a nice time. Saw old friends from when I was in grammar school. Really awesome, and we shared some laughs. My buddy Nick told me that Andres Torres was right outside our seats, hanging out in the concourse and digging the scene. I sat where I was when I saw The Catch. Dad's season tix, which we purchased from him. Great, fun day at the good ol' Stick. And we have a new quarterback who is actually amazing, despite having the stupidest head coach in NFL history.
22 And I somehow made it back home, despite a psycho bus driver who thought that buses should sail along in the fast lane, almost hitting the wall the entire ride.
23 Guy was a sweetheart.
24 I kissed the ground when I finally landed back in good ol' Sannozay.
25 Moving on, Part the First: One thing I HAD to do this weekend was to get rid of my AOL DN groupsend. I send the DN to a lot of alumni and friends, but for whatever reason, when AOL updated or upgraded or whatever you call it, it suddenly stopped all group emails from arriving at their destinations.
26 I started getting hurt emails from family and friends, and tried telling everyone why no DN in the mail.
27 So I switched EVERYTHING over to gmail, which it turns out will email groups, but which is also ridiculously slow with allowing editing of contacts and all.
28 Turns out that gmail is just about as bad as AOL.
29 AnywayZ, I threw out a test to some friends, and most got it.
30 But gmail has its own issues, none of which I care to spend a ton of time on.
31 So today's DN is the very first ever to be new and mailed through the "miracle" of gmail.
32 Yeesh.
33 I'll tellya more tomorrow, but all this relaxing has completely depleted me of any sort of energy.
34 So let's just call it a Mondeeeeeeeeeee.
35 As always, fly low.
36 We'll step it all up tomorrow.
37 Meanwhile, live life.
38 Love life.
39 Peace.
