Thanks to all who have wished me well.  Here's another one for you- when I started this blog I intended to try it out as a sort of column of sorts of my thoughts on sports.  That didn't really seem to happen.  Well now I'm going to start it up again, but not here.  I have been asked to start doing a blog for the 540 ESPN website, and need to have 2 ( Read more... )

Well folks, I feel an odd sense of accomplishment.  Since about September I have been producing, writing and hosting a show on the internet for ESPN Milwaukee, but on onmilwaukee.com.  In December I gained a sponsorship from the Wisconsin National Guard and the show was placed on espnmilwaukee.com.   Tomorrow will be a historic day for me, the show ( Read more... )

Another Irish Drinking Song
 by DaVinci's Notebook

Gather ’round, ye lads and lasses, set ye for a while
And harken to me mournful tale about the Emerald Isle

 What a road its been.  This has been a year of craziness and advances.  When you look back on things at this time last year I was just a few weeks removed from leaving "the evil coffee empire" and struggling to get by.  Now I'm happy, working at the airport is grueling but the physical labor has been great.  I seem to have more energy and have ( Read more... )

I don't really know what's been going on with me lately.  I'm happy in both of my jobs right now- a fact that has never been true.  Who would have thought that working at the airport and beating myself up getting bags out to planes would be fulfilling.  And feeling good has lead to other things.  The physical labor has caused me to lose some major ( Read more... )

Well I turned 25 this week and a lot of things have been racing through my head with it.  I've been thinking about who I am and what I've done and where I want to go.  One thing I know is I'm not where I want to be yet.  If you asked me a few years ago I would have said that now I would have been working full time in my chosen profession, not part ( Read more... )

Questions by Stan, answers by me

1. Isn't it true (for all the people who say otherwise) that there's no place like Chicago to get either pizza or a hot dog?

There is very much a truth to the statement that there's no place like Chicago to get either a pizza or a hot dog.  I generally chalk this up to me being a pizza and hot dog snob, but for me ( Read more... )
