Anyone remember Ross Perot? He created the Tea Party, which eventually took over the Republican party.

I know airports look the same everywhere, but damn that looks like BWI.

This isn't really what you asked, but I feel the need to share my experience using an alternate layout.

I used to use the Dvorak layout - for several years, in fact, and I was pretty good with it. I switched back to Qwerty, because Dvorak just caused too many issues, especially at work, and any speed gains were lost in dealing with switching the layout for tech support and things like that. Sometimes they'd remote in and type, and it would translate their keypresses incorrectly.

Now I doubt they'd even let me switch the keyboard layout (a function they don't expect people to need, so they lock it out to reduce the chance of someone accidentally triggering it).

Qwerty does the job, I guess.

My wife thinks it'd be odd to announce his retirement on the anniversary of the fountain swimming. But I don't know what else he'd be announcing.

I would not at all be surprised to find he gets a job with the team.

 

I think we can all guess what this is. :(

I know he's been on IR for a long time and is likely to never play again...but still. He seems like the fun guy that lives next door and you could have a beer with - you don't have to drink it through your shirt, but he's in if you are.

And his comment about his dad during the interview after they won the Stanley Cup: "He doesn't remember much, but I'm sure he'll remember this."

The very brief interaction I've had with him (at season ticketholder night, while signing a jersey) left me thinking he's a great person.

Wishing you the very best, TJ!
