I have a few pet peeves. I don't like it when people near me chew gum with their mouths open. It bugs me when people look over my shoulder while I'm reading, working on the computer, etc.

But this time of the year with all the NCAA games going on, there's something that really bothers me. It's when sportscasters use the word "untracked" when they're talking about an athlete who is not performing up to his or her usual capabilities. For example, "John Doe just can't make a shot. Coach Smith really has to get him untracked." Doesn't he really have to get ON TRACK? If you want to get someone untracked, it seems to me that you want them to do worse.

Now, if we can just get our weather back ON TRACK and get the snow out of the forecast. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait a while on that one.
