It was a gorgeous day in the ATL on Sunday, so we took Scout to the park: He also go to to play in a little stream, which pretty much made his day.
This post has nothing to do with Beethoven. Sorry. It was just the first thing I could think of that started with ‘B’ and had the number of syllables that my brain seemed to want to put in the title. I have been a busy Pete this weekend! Friday was my most productive day of work [...]
College football Saturday is upon us. I will be keeping up with the games. Here are the teams (other than Alabama) that I have decided should1 win today: Mississippi State (over LSU) — LSU is one of ‘Bama’s big competitors in the SEC West. The more conference losses they take, the better. Also, they smell like [...]
There are many things on the internet to read. Here are two of them. Charlsie sent me a link to an article on a NY Times blog that pretty accurately describes a big chasm between two groups of people I know that plays out daily on my facebook newsfeed.

I had tickets to the Alabama game. We won. In fact, once we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot, we kinda man-handled a Top 10 Virginia Tech team. [...]

Take note, ladies: this could all be yours one day.

On the down side, I was planning on having some free days this week, so I’ll have to re-arrange some things. I [...]
For all of the good that civil rights crusaders have done over the years, one of the few disservices I believe they’ve rendered to our society is the vilification of the word “discriminate.” At its core, “discrimination” is not inherently evil.

I’m still not sure what I think about Vick’s reinstatement. I’m really, really happy that Atlanta released him. I’m not really much of a Falcons fan, but if they had let him back on the roster, there’s no way I’d ever be able to cheer for them. If I were the commissioner, he’d never play in [...]
Lest you think he had gotten sick of me and run off, I thought I’d fill you in: Scout’s still around.
