My boss is Christmas shopping in the office right now and stumbled on this little gem. Nice clock, eh? Oh wait…almost ALL of the time the home team (hour) Cougars will be losing to the visiting minutes.
That clock is the definition of Cougin-it.

Go Joel, Go!!!
jjae:
We’re off to Arizona today for Joel’s FIRST IRONMAN!!
We’re at Bree and Dan’s right now, packing and getting ready. For family and close friends, and any other parties interested in what an Ironman is like, I’ll be Twittering my updates (if you’re viewing this on my blog page, just look to the right of this page).
This is Dan’s 6th Ironman, so he obviously wants to improve his time.
Joel says he just wants to finish before his birthday! (Which is on the 23rd … cut-off time for the race is 16:59:59, or 11:59 p.m., November 22.)
Bree’s been sick and on heavy medication for … months (lyme disease). How she found the strength to train, I don’t know … and I sure as hell don’t know how she can even fathom doing the race, but she is a FUCKING BADASS, obvs.
So I might not know Joel personally, but I have been anxiously following jjae’s posts on their training progress for Arizona. I am super-excited for his race and know that Joel will rock it on Sunday. 72 and sunny in Tempe…it is going to be a great day for a race.
I hope Mike Reilly gives you the best finish-line announcement ever!!
It’s a scientifical fact.
— From today’s afternoon meeting…interesting words keep me focused on the conversation.

Burning Down The House (Live) by Dave Matthews Band
originally by Talking Heads
(via mitchellgoldstein)This is a great recording of a great version but it does no justice to seeing it live.
Hooray!! One of my all-time favorite cover songs from DMB!!! And I second your vote Josh - the live version of this is probably one of the most played songs on my iPod.
