Conversation with the New Guy at work today:
New Guy: "Why do you wear a tie?"
Me: "I'm rebelling against the establishment and all authority figures everywhere."
New Guy: "Oh...(pause)...cool."

What is it About the Duck Tie?
Once upon a time, a man had a maroon tie with an embroidered duck at the bottom. It caught the attention of the man's son and soon the son was wearing it all the time and the man never saw it again.
As the son grew older, he kept the tie. Oh, he had other ties, but the tie he had "borrowed" from his father was one of his favorites. Eventually, the son got married and started having kids of his own.
One Sunday morning, his own oldest son came out from his closet carrying the duck tie and told his dad, "Dad, I want to wear this tie."
Now this little boy had never worn a full tie before. It had only been clip-ons. Somewhat humored, the dad tied it for him and let him wear it. And behold! The kid looked good in it.
This little boy (the grandson of the original owner of the tie) now seems to have laid claim to the tie and wears it every Sunday.
The moral of the story: Dad, if you want your duck tie back, you'll have to bring it up with your grandson. Apparently I no longer own it.

So What You're Telling Me Is...

Over/Under Pressure
Pressure is defined as force per unit area.
In my case it is defined by a series of (unfortunate) numbers gathered over the past few days:
130/98
143/86
121/89
128/92
For an average of about 130/91...not good for a guy in his 30s (especially that last number).
If you don't understand, don't worry about it. I'll probably rant about it some more at a later date.
