Man 1, Crocodile 1: Lessons Learned.

After hearing of about how a man was rescued from the clutches of a Crocodile’s jaw this past week in Australia I was relieved. Now that time has passed and I’ve had time to reflect I think there are lessons to be learned from this near disaster:

  1. Never except employment from a ‘Crocodile Farm‘.
  2. If you do find yourself employed by a Crocodile Farm make sure not to be responsible for collecting Crocodile eggs.
  3. Create a good working relationship with your coworkers (they’re the only who can help you if and when the giant reptile you decided to work with on a daily basis decides to eat you).
  4. Verify that your coworker has at least average marksmanship skills.

For our first New Years in Chicago Julie and I headed to the Bears game on Sunday.  When we bought the tickets this summer we assumed this would be at least a decent game.  The game was all but meaningless, No Reggie Bush, No Brian Greise, No Rex Grossman.

On New Years day during a 12 hour football watching marathon James engineered one hell of a Turkey Fry.  In less than an hour we had one of the better turkey’s ever tasted.
