What Did You Learn Today?

Seems like a reasonable topic of discussion, no?

For example, I was watching TV this morning, and I learned that apparently Cadillac somehow feels that the Escalade is "legendary." Wow… legendary? Really? The Escalade? No.

The Mustang is legendary. The GT40. The Corvette. There hasn't been a Cadillac I would consider legendary that didn't have tail fins at the back or bull horns at the front. The Escalade is no more legendary than my Escape.

Up yours, Cadillac.

So. What did you learn today?

Today I learned what the word "patience" really means when someone walks into your office and asks you if you can work a 16 hour shift on Wednesday.

I learned to never build a home for a lawyer, no matter how much you stand to make, it's never worth it.
