I've posted before about listening to classic rock on my way up to the County. The last two trips, however, I've been listening to...wait for it...CLASSIC COUNTRY!

If you find yourself thumbing through the want-ads in the Shelby County Tribune and a classified advertisement catches your eye, you might say "Hey! They're looking for a Pediatric Hospitalist at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine. Isn't that Suchari's job ( Read more... )

I was scanning the cable movie listings for a pre bedtime family movie, and found both Victory! AND Shao Lin Soccer! Two terrible soccer movies on the same day!! Who says we're not a soccer nation! I'm not sure how many GOOD soccer movies there are; I'm pretty fond of the original Fever Pitch with Colin Firth. Of course I'm also pretty fond of ( Read more... )
