How Do You Spell Ficus?

Ficus (/ˈfaɪkəs/[1] or /ˈfiːkəs/[2][3]) is a genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the familyMoraceae. Collectively known as fig trees or figs, they are native throughout the tropics with a few species extending into the semi-warm temperate zone.

Blow Out

I often joke about how I want to see the Boston Bruins jump out to a 10 goal lead in any random game so that I won’t have to stress over the outcome.

I don’t really want to see that every game, but if it happens I won’t exactly be upset, you know?

Tonight, over at the ol’ TD Garden, after two periods the Bruins have an 8-2 lead over the Devils.

Like I said, the blow outs are nice when they happen.*


*If they let Jersey back into this one in the third period, I’m going to be very unhappy.

Today is Not Friday

Last week my one day in the office was Friday. That has screwed me up completely this week. I think last week combined with today being the last day of the month has me 100% convinced that today is Friday.

No. Today is Thursday. Today is not Friday. The weekend does not start at 5:30 tonight. It starts at 5:30 tomorrow night.

Get it straight, Robert. You have stuff to do.
