Just like my brother got to witness his lifelong dream<\/a> tonight, I got to witness a bit of mine. I got to edit clips from Caddyshack for the 11pm news. I don’t know if I could die happy right now, but its definitely a big checkmark on my life’s “to do list”. Actually, I didn’t even know I had the list until Lloyd Bridges died 7 or so years ago.

Oh, and I beat Pete<\/a> this week in the “Meaningless NFL Pick ‘Em Pool ’04”. If my math is any better than it was last week, I’m back within 3 games, and picking up steam!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
