It’s a fun and wacky world… it’s not called the rollercoaster of life for nothing. Let’s take a closer look at life’s ironies this week:

• Gas is down 30% from just a few months ago, to well under $2.99 and it is having no impact on car sales…yet
• Cerberus Capital Management LP (used to own Atlantic Luggage, my employer for 10 years) said just one year after buying an auto company, that they didn’t know how ill equipped they were to run this type of operation in this industry. Expensive hit to the ego
• The stock market has moved about 10,000 points in the past three weeks cumulatively – and is still down
• Even Ann Colture isn’t endorsed by the The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck
• There could be a woman vice-president, and I am not voting for her
• For that matter, Colin Powell isn’t voting republican this year
• My Canadian cousins want to vote in the US election in a few weeks         
• After the 2004 election, many Americans wanted to move to Canada 
• Now, 25 years later, Cindy wants to move to Washington
• Brett Farve can’t stay away from a microphone       
• Adam Jones can't stay on a football field while Jerry Jones can't miss a press conference – no, they are not related
• The Steelers can't seem to loose a single game in Cincinnati 
• Jen Anniston is back with the stable, one-woman-man John Mayer….. and, for all the right reasons
• BP is installing flat screen TV at its stations - can we not even buy cigs and gas now without being mindlessly entertained? 
• I can’t seem to miss a meal + desert
• I am the oldest person shopping at AE – the staff asks if they can help me locate a garment for my children…mmmm  

That is enough of my mindless and rambling thoughts.
