I watched football last night and it was good. The watching, I mean, not the actual games. The games were mostly terrible. Stanford/Oregon State was good, but the rest were pretty awful. I’m headed to Bloomington tonight to eat some sushi, go out there one last time before the move to Atlanta, and take in [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, the best time of the year is upon us: football season. I’m talking about real football. College Football. Lots of games on tonight — I’m not sure which one(s) I’ll be watching. Oregon State at Stanford sounds more interesting to me than NC State at South Carolina, but the SEC fan in [...]

Kecia and Reese came to visit today. She’s getting so big, and she’s almost crawling which is really neat to see. We took a trip to the Lincoln Museum which is worth the price of admission if you’re in the area — very well put together and informative. Yesterday I got mail from the Illinois High [...]

Biden? Really? That’s the best he could do? The biggest draw to Obama is the mostly scandal-free, “not business as usual” angle. So, what, he felt he was at a disadvantage because he didn’t have any typical Washington bullshit floating around his campaign and felt compelled to add some? He chose a law school plagiarist and resume-padder. [...]

Not so cute up close. Tonight a bat found its way into my apartment. I have no idea how or why, but all of a sudden I caught a bird-like thing zipping around my dining room out of the corner of my eye. I spent the next 45 minutes watching it fly around and then engaging [...]

I just don’t really have any words to describe this (emphasis supplied): Until Sunday, 35-year-old Carla Ramson lived in an apartment in southwest Atlanta with two men she identified as her husband and live-in boyfriend, according to an Atlanta police report. Both men were arrested after they got into [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow citizens of the world, I bring great news from teh intarwebz. It seems that I’ve been nominated for yet another “hot blogger” contest. Last time I earned a #9 seed, won my first-round match-up, and progressed on. Eventually it turned into a total fiasco, and while I don’t know that anyone won, [...]

So lots of things are apparently going on in China. You know, other than the typical censorship and human rights violations. As far as I’ve been able to tell, there is only one Olympic event: boxing. I hear news of other sports, but have yet to see any of them on television. Unless you count [...]

Charlsie sent me a link to sweet tea flavored vodka that’s being made by a distillery in South Carolina. I really, really want to try it. This would make an excellent house-warming gift for those of you inclined to buy such a thing… or, if anyone at the Firefly Distillery is paying attention, I’d be happy [...]
