This morning there was a 'story' about how Zuckerberg invented a box for his wife that would help her sleep. It wasn't a box that she gets into, silly. This was a box she would place on her nightstand. It seems that she wakes up many times during the night and wonders if it is almost time to get her children up. She needs to have them up between 6 and 7 am.
So, this box assists her. Her brilliant husband Zuckerberg created it so that a faint light shows from under the base of the box at predetermined times. Instead of waking up and checking the time on her phone, she can go back to sleep if the light is not glowing under the box.
Robin, the female anchor, had a very valid suggestion. 'What if they got their hands on this other invention called a digital clock? It can be set to dim, so it is not too bright.' EXACTLY! What in the world?

I digress.
Anyway, Ed has been home sick the last few days with a fever. Today he has been fever free and hopes to go back to school tomorrow, which is good because tomorrow is prom. I am relieved that he is better because prom is on Saturday. Do you remember when Lad went to prom with mono? (Well I just did a search for that post so I could link it here, but I never wrote about it. I might have to do a retro, because it was interesting - to say the least). We didn't realize that he had mono until AFTER the prom, where I suspect he kissed his date. Oops.
So, while Ed was home he flipped on ESPN after lunch. There was my least favorite TV personality of all times. Claiming that he has a personality is being generous. Stephen A. Smith.
If you are unfamiliar, and if that is the case - consider yourself lucky, allow me to describe. He is a shouting lunatic that thinks his opinion mattes. He talks nonstop and gets way too close to the television. Ask the ESPN watchers in your life if they can handle Stephen A, or if they are like me. I cannot have him on when I am within earshot. 'Turn this crap off!'
Reminds me of my Mom's reaction to the day she caught us watching Prince. Now this is a link I know I have. (Two separate links).
I looked at Ed and asked the question that most people must wonder about, 'How on earth is this guy on television? Who cares about his opinions? Why do people call him Stephen A. instead of just plain old Stephen?'
Ed found my commentary entertaining enough to snap-chat about my strong feelings. Any other strong feelings out there?

I love WGN morning news too.
Also, billionaires have way too much money and time on their hands.
Is that why people listen to Stephen A? Is he a billionaire? Say it ain't so! He is the worst.
