Naked Driving

Today was a very busy day for me. I had a conference call with our European branches at 8 o'clock in the morning and another one with our Asian branches at 7 o'clock tonight to coordinate the next launch of my product. That got me out of the office a little after 8:00pm with just enough time to get downtown to play in my 8:30 city-league volleyball game. With no time to change clothes, I was forced to do so in the car...while driving.


There's nothing quite so exhilarating, or scary, as driving down the freeway with not so much as underwear to shield me from the passing cars. Keeping inside your lane is also not so easy while you're trying to put on your Under Armour, shorts, socks and shoes.


I guess the lesson here is, if you see a car weaving a bit, and the driver is shuffling around in their seat, think twice about looking over as you pass.


My apologies to the family in the Dodge Caravan...

I Feel Like the Pointer Sisters!

...I'm so excited!

I'm writing this post from the DFW airport on my way Salt Lake City to recruit at BYU. I've done this before, but I get excited every trip because I know that at some point we're going to eat at Tucanos Brazilian Grill. Tucanos is a churrascaria (pronounced "Chew-haas-car-ia" if you want to sound like a fancy-pants).

A churrascaria is heaven on earth. You sit at a table and servers bring rack after rack after rack of delicious Brazilian meats. And if you thought the Brazilians knew how to make beautiful people and beautiful scenery...wait 'til you try their meats! Every single bite is like a little slice of the next life....and they don't stop bringing you more until you say stop. If you haven't been to one before: go. Go right now. Don't worry about repercussion or cost 'cause it's worth it. I promise.


So tonight, as you wonder what Todd Sierer is up to (something you do each night I'm sure), know that he is stuffed like a Christmas goose, enjoying the sweet afterglow of filet mignon, pork loin and grilled pineapple. De-lisch!!!

Say Goodbye to the Next Hour

If you're a geography nerd like me, then I'm warning you ahead of time that this game is going to suck hours of your time away. Don't say I didn't warn you. It probably doesn't fit in this blog window, but go to the link above to play on a full screen.

Kristi: thanks for this great game!!!

Oh The Beating I'd Receive...

My parents might have put me up for adoption if I had done this:

Kid Gets Stuck in Washing Machine.


Mom, Dad: this is way worse than the time I got that bead stuck in Liz's nose and we had to go to the doctor's office to get it removed. However, it's not nearly as bad as the time I pushed Liz into a table and split her forehead open.

On Super Bowl Halftime Shows

Can anyone explain the logic behind the last three Super Bowl Halftime shows?



The Rolling Stones (2006) looked like the walking dead and their set had the energy of an elementary school orchestra performance.




Prince (2007) hasn't made a decent album since the 80's, not to mention it's freaking Prince...how on earth does he make the list of "popular acts that football fans enjoy?" Did you see all the confused looks on people's faces?





Tom Petty (2008), like the Rolling Stones, is actually not alive and is made entirely of wood. I don't care if he's classic, he's washed up and not captivating. At all.



Next year, please write your senator and ask them to find someone that's going to rock out (like U2 did in 2002), or go back to the whole shotgun approach for the halftime show where you pick a popular artist from every genre and give them each one song, throw in some fireworks and then get back to commercials.
