Reason #17 that I'm Getting Old

When you read this blog, please be aware of the time it was posted. Then subtract an hour. Then remember that the 24th is Sunday. And then you'll say to yourself, man, unless Redhead in Rapid has kids (which he doesn't) he must be old, cause who is going to get up so freaking early.

The correlation was relatively weak (.44, where 1 would be a perfect match) but was statistically significant. 

Yay! Statistically significant!
