A brief vent about traffic....

After a couple of frustrating commute experiences, (I know....how bad is it, really, where I live) I feel the need to discuss a few items:

• Round-abouts #1 - When you are on the round-about, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. You should not stop on the round-about.
• Round-abouts #2 - When entering the round-about, it DOES NOT have to be empty to merge onto the circle. GO!
• Round-abouts #3 - When entering the round-about, do not race the person coming around the corner!
• Just follow the speed limits in school zones. They aren't huge areas, and it's not cool to fly through them.
• DO NOT block intersections. You won't get there any slower if you have to stop at one light, and you just tick people off going the perpendicular direction from you.
• Red light means STOP.

If only the city or state police department would allow me to write traffic tickets......

Thank you for your time.

Go IRISH! Beat Midshipmen!

What I learned in New Jersey

I traveled this weekend to the "blue state" of New Jersey. I have some life lessons that I thought I could share because they are "sooooo funny".

• Rutgers is "just like Notre Dame".....NOT!
• Everyone can enjoy putting together a Polly Pocket fashion show.
• I am not a good basketball player, but I can talk smack with the best of the 8 year olds.
• I am a master at the quiet game.
• In New Jersey, coaches for second grade football laminate their game play sheets.
• We're all in this together.
• When invited to a wedding, take note of the time.
• The mascot for Stanford University is the cardinal. Yes, the color red. Why they have a tree on their logo is still a mystery.
• Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!

With that, I say have a great Wednesday.

GO IRISH! Beat Stanford!
