Just spending some time on Pro-Football-Reference.com looking at the career rankings for quarterbacks. Vinny Testaverde ranks:
The good:
7th in passes completed (3,787)
6th in pass attempts (6,701)
6th in passing yards (46,233)
8th in passing touchdowns (275)
Not so good:
92nd in passer rating (75.0)
4th in interceptions (267)
Career record: 90-123-1
I would think he'd have a good shot at getting in. He retired in 2007, so we'll have to wait until after the 2012 season when he becomes eligible for the Hall of Fame.

First Test
Tomorrow night is my first accounting test. This is the first class I've taken since graduating in May 2007. I'm fairly confident since it is my only class, but I'm also a little nervous. I tried to study some tonight, mostly by taking practice tests on the online resource that came with the book. I took a break and Wanda and I went for a walk. Then she helped me study a little bit by quizzing me out of the book. I'm not feeling too bad, I guess we'll see how it goes. For now, sleep (World of Warcraft?) beckons.
WoW characters:
-Gibraltir: Level 24 Human Paladin on Nazgrel.
-Wandy (actually made for Wanda, but she makes me play her): Level 9 Night Elf Druid on Nazgrel.
-Catopulis: Level 4ish Undead Warlock on Balnazaar.
In other news:
I'm trying, yet again, to exercise some more. I've ran three times this week so far and surprisingly, it's been in the mornings and I've actually felt pretty good. I think some leg stretching would do me some good and make it easier for me, but I've been content to trundle through the pain so far. Farewell!

My Library
I'm in the process of cataloging my book collection online. This is something I've had an itch to do for a while, and now on this Sunday afternoon, I'm doing it! In doing so, I've come across quite a few books I've had for a long time. Books I remember reading during many a long, boring, lonely summer as an only child growing up in Kearney, Nebraska. Good times, good memories. There's also plenty of books I have that I haven't read yet. And, there's some that elicit a chuckle or two. Like, Smooth Operators. A birthday gift from my early days of knowing Wanda. She sure knew just what to get a guy like me with such little fashion sense.
I'm probably doing more work than I need to be doing, but I'm cataloging both on Facebooks visual bookshelf and Library Thing. Check them out, it's a fun way to spend some time and maybe it will come in handy someday. Maybe, if I forget what books I own. Or something like that.

Wii Fit
Wanda and I bought a Wii Fit this past weekend after experiencing one at my aunt and uncle's house this past weekend. So far it's pretty fun and can be quite the workout. The balance games can be challenging but it really gets hard with the yoga, strength, and aerobic exercises. Wanda's been in constant pain since her first night of lunges. If you have a Wii I'd highly recommend getting the Fit. It's been a good way for us to dust off our rarely-used Wii. This is really starting to sound like a shameless plug for Nintendo, but I haven't blogged in a while other than my crappy music list. Get the Fit!
Look Down!
The crap list grows.
