NFL
While I love football, I haven't been to nearly as many pro (or college, for that matter) games, with my most recent trip to an NFL game being over 27 years ago. Both stadiums that I've seen games in have since been demolished. I'm hoping to finally see my Cowboys in person when they play in Indianapolis during the 2018 season, so stay tuned.

I'm alive.
In case anyone is still reading this, yes, I haven't posted in years. Short version, I'm still the homebound teacher, and have helped three students graduate who might not have since I last posted. Kat and I are still happy and well. Dad is well, and has been volunteering at the Performing Arts Center for the last year and a half. He's probably ( Read more... ) -
A Non-Baseball Update!
So much has happened in the last 22 months. I'll get the worst out of the way first. My mother had a massive heart attack as a result of diabetic complications and died early on the morning of August 14, 2013. She was 67. It's been rough, far rougher than I could have imagined. I've already apologized to Kat for being so cavalier about her needing ( Read more... ) -

So today, I sat down and searched through the website and found the box scores ( Read more... ) -

Frango!
Spring break this week. We went to Nashville for a couple days the first part of the week. We ate at Arnold's Country Kitchen, where, among the crowd, was the governor of Tennessee. Gotta love a little hole in the wall that has not one but TWO James Beard medals and sitting governors stand in line with the rest of us ( Read more... ) -

Schoooooooooooooooooooool's OUT FOR Summmmmeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......
...but not entirely for me. One of my homebound students, for reasons that aren't for public consumption (nor interesting enough for a friends' only post) needs to continue through June 30 (although it's looking like it'll be more like June 15-20). This will get me a little extra money over the summer ( Read more... ) -

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl PopperThe perfect retort to the assclowns who respond to ( Read more... )
