Five Things I Learned This Week.

- Boone’s Farm is a kind of malt beverage that is the punch line to rather a lot of jokes;
- The maximum salary an NHL player can earn is 20% of the team’s payroll;
- The word “proactive” can be – and often is – terribly overused;
- The lunch meeting I thought I had on Friday the 6th will actually be occurring on Monday the 9th. I wish I learned this fact prior to showing up for the said meeting; and
- Someone has broken in to our house and stolen my sneakers. Nothing else, just my sneakers. The thief in question is skilled beyond belief, having left beyond absolutely no sign whatsoever of forced entry. Moreover, nothing has been disturbed inside the house. Yet I know that the fiend has executed his evil plot, as I cannot find my shoes. If you have any information, I urge you to contact the appropriate authorities.
With Daylight Savings Time kicking in this weekend, we’re learning that setting the clocks forward Saturday afternoon works pretty well — sure, you look funny puttering about in pajamas, but at least you steal a march on the rest of the world Sunday morning.
Oh, and I believe that your thief keeps breaking in — repeatedly. Some sort of international forgotit thief.
That thief gets around, there’s no doubt about it….
I believe he has also been in my office recently.
