The collection of any random thoughts that pop into my head, or the culmination of some damn thing that happened at the Nelson house, because you all know there is never a dull freaking moment in our lives!

101 Things About Me: 76-101
76. I'm coming up on my two-year bloggiversary. Wow...can't believe it's been that long.
77. My first post was funny and true and had nothing to do with motorcycles.
78. I LOVE to make people laugh.
79. I'm usually successful at it, too. (As evidenced by BB's comment on this post over at Dave's blog.)
80. I was in the chorus in high school, and sang a solo from Phantom of the Opera at Disney Village in Florida.
81. It's going to be 80°F here today. :)
82. I can't believe the Arizona Cardinals are in the playoffs. Traffic will suck tomorrow (we live 5 miles from the stadium).
83. I don't mind doing laundry, and I actually sort of like vacuuming, but I HATE dusting. And if you don't dust every week in the desert, it gets ugly pretty quick!
84. We have 33 books on motorcycles on our desk, but I know there's WAY more than that around here somewhere.
85. If I had a day free of responsibilities, I would steal Big D's bike and practice my turning. :)
86. When he reads that, he's going to be disturbed.
87. Fortunately for both of us, I never have a day free of responsibilites.
88. I have won the bad-boss lottery several times. My first bad boss fired me the day after I bought my first house. The last one presented my work as her own and took full credit for it.
89. I have a great boss, now.
90. There is much to be said for quality of life in your job. I took a $13K pay cut and that hurt, but when I get up in the morning my focus is getting to work, not thinking up ways to avoid going.
91. I talked to John Travolta on the phone when I was 10 or 11. Long story short: my cousin was a records executive and John was making an album. So my cousin Donny called me when he was with John, and put him on the phone. I screamed, then I talked, but don't remember what was said.
92. I think this was the album he was making. Was he hot, or what?!
93. I can remember going to Scusset Beach with my family and the water was so cold that me, Dad and my brother-in-law Ed were the only ones who would go in the water. And we had to run and dive, or we'd never get in.
94. When I was in my early 20's I went to the beach with my Dad a lot. We used to fill a cooler with some beer, and bring Pepsi cans to pour them into so we wouldn't get kicked off the beach. :)
95. I have a huge shot glass collection that I keep in a locked metal and glass Oakley sunglasses display case.
96. I also have a seashell collection from Cape Cod and Mexico, but it's not displayed yet.
97. Thursday night I laughed so hard that milk came out my nose.
98. I haven't done that in years.
99. I'm glad I decided to do these posts.
100. It's almost like a walk down memory lane.
101. I have to get ready to go ride now. :)

Your first post was a riot. Alternative: rinse it well so you don't get suds and let it go through a cycle in the top rack of your dishwasher!
78 & 79 - Me too!
81 - You @#%*!!!!
82 - Yeah, that bites. No way would I want to live near Gillette Stadium. What's cool though is I'm close enough to get there in about 20 minutes.
83 - Dusting SUCKS!
89 - You and me both. My last one was probably one of the worst of all time.
90 - I pray to put that into place when I go back to work again.
94 - I never really drank with my old man. He wasn't much of a drinker. I would have loved to though. That's one bond we never had.
101 - Refer to 81.
This list was so great, that I don't even think I can comment on all the things I want to.
But I read your first post and it was funny! Also #80...I'm impressed. I always wished I could sing, and if you sang any song from Phantom then you must be good! I'm glad we did these lists too!
Joker: I am assuming you mean the quality of life issue and not the huge paycut in reference to #90.
BB: I WAS good. Not so much anymore, though. Years of smoking have totally killed my voice. :)
Good stuff. My current boss sucks! I had a boss at Tower Records that was the best you could wish for . I would have worked for him for nothing if I could afford to. Hope your ride was good
I have really enjoyed your lists! Feel like I know you more!
ps--microwaved sponge story is tooooo funny!
I went and read your first post too. Way funny! I loved the line.. "next time you want to be Mr. Clean, we have to shave your head first." I'd like to see Big D agree to THAT! Something tells me never!
As far as #83 goes, you may be running a fever. That's just sick! LOL!
And last but not least, what happened Thursday? (#97) Inquiring minds want to know!
I'm glad you did this series, too :)
Holy Shit! 2 Years! Your are a veteran as far as I'm concerned.
