Knock on Wood:
So... Is there anything going on tonight?
“Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.” -- Oliver Goldsmith
Tom Brady proved this weekend how absurd it is to assume that because $37 Million/year can produce a good QB on the field it would transfer equally into the announcer's booth.
That is an absurdity that keeps on repeating itself in the CEO offices across sports media land.
The Question:

Many like the conservative formula of a portfolio of strong Dow companies, but let’s face it, it is the Tech stocks that are powering these markets. Goldman sees two “Magical” elixirs. First, the underlying objective is to achieve a growth rate from the current 11% up to 20-30%. The formula to get there: RD+AII=20%. How easy is that: It means that the rate rate decrease combined with AI innovation acceptance would rapidly move the stock growth rates up to at least 20%. If you hadn't noticed, that was the essence of Apple's announcement yesterday with the AI18 chip powered phone. Expect a lot of that this year.
OpenAI is going ot release its new reasoning fussed Artificial Intelligence. They are naming it “Strawberry”. Obviously hoping to capitalize on consumers appetite for fruity named products ala Apple. Personally, I dislike the odor of strawberries and especially when strawberry ice cream touches my vanilla.
Back the early 1980’s two guys and I went to Wall Stretto raise money for our new magazine focused on the advances of micro chops ib Manfacturing technology. I called it Chip. I thought I was cool. Weird food names in that embryonic computer age seemed popular then. But wall street didn't get it. Oh, maybe they got it but not in the way we wanted it.
In today's health conscious society, we would have had to name it Lettuce. Lettuce us help you manufacture more efficiently. This absurdity is going nowhere, isn't it?
“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.” --Bertrand Russell
Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois. Last Years national Champ Michigan was severely crushed, looking inept against Texas. Preseason #10 Florida State has lost two and has looked awful in doing it. At this rate there may not be 12 survivors left to fill out the Champions Series Playoffs.
I’ve redscovered one of my longtime favorite orange snacks – "Better Cheddars”! They are tasty, light and airy and they don't make me feel like I'm getting fat.
From my point of view, too many new movies and series made for streaming are too glitzy and too message orientated to be entertaining for me. I tend to turn to foreign made series. which just seem better directed and less absurd.
Oscar Wilde looked at people as being either charming or tedious. I'm glad we never met.
Did you ever walk into a large group of people having fun and know immediately that nobody there cared if your ware there.
Every day I try to learn something new. And if my brain seems to feel lazy, I make go to work. Life can be like that I think. Once to take that first step no matter how hard it may appear, all the rest of the steps seem easy.
“In life, a lot of great ideas sound insane or absurd at first.” --Nathan Fielder
These past couple of days, I have listened to many Trump aids and strategists, and you can tell they are all just sitting their holding their breath hoping he doesn't say anything absurd. Because his absurdities will be the headlines the next day... regardless of who wins the conflict.
One of the big questions for tonight is: Which Kamala will show up?
The Answer:
It's not hard to guess that Monday is the number One worst day of the week. The rest in order are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday, Friday and Saturday. Makes sense if you don't like work. And d not surprising Exceus “Havig Fun” seems to be the message of many an advertiser or entertainment vehicle.
Happy debate veiwng, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
“Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.” -- Voltaire.
It depends on who you are and how to look at the days of the week. Take this alternate opinion for instance:
