So, a few minutes ago, my brother and I were discussing baseball no-hitters, and how they're mostly executed by very good pitchers, but a few were thrown by no name guys who's only claim to fame is the no-no (for those of you who don't know, no-no is a baseball colloquialism for 'no runs, no hits ( Read more... )

I love soccer (or football for the purists out there). I was immensely glad when Seattle got an MLS club (and so is the rest of the city--Seattle is a huge soccer market, and the attendance figures are proving it), and I get as amped up for the World Cup as I do about any other sporting event. It's also been fortunate that ESPN has started ( Read more... )

So, as I'm sure most of you know, snowstorms are sweeping the nation, and one place being hit really hard is right here in the Pacific Northwest. In the past two weeks, around 18 inches of snow has fallen at my house, and almost all of it remains, since the temperature hasn't been above 34 during this whole time ( Read more... )

It's hard sometimes to put into words what this election has meant, means, for this country. We throw around words like historic, but something like that only touches the surface of what tonights means. We read about all these great moments that have come before us, and what they've meant to the country going forward, and now we finally find ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know I said I'd make an "everything I've been up to" post, but in the wake of something like this, I'm putting that off for a few days to voice a few of my thoughts on this catastrophe ( Read more... )

So, yesterday, my brother and I were heading over to our vacation home to join our mom, who was already there. Along the way, we figured we'd drop in Barnes and Noble to see if we could pick up a copy of DH, since neither of us had pre-ordered or resevered a copy. Don't ask me why, I just didn't do it ( Read more... )

Yes, I am now back at home in Washington. Be returning to San Luis next Sunday, so 10 days here, in my nice, comfortable bed, though without my computer and some of my books and movies. Oh well, I'll survive ( Read more... )

So, this morning (actually, it was early afternoon, but whatever) I get up, and what is the first thing I see? Apparently Pete Rose has now admitted that he in fact placed bets on the Cincinnati Reds while he was their manager. This has, of course, just reopened a can of worms that should have been welded shut years ago. And quite frankly, each ( Read more... )

Happy (slightly belated) birthday to mmichelle!

I really was going to post yesterday, but it totally slipped my mind. It was, however, the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. :P

Well... I've been on Winter Break for about 5 days now. My plane landed at 1:00 AM on Friday (that would be the 15th) morning. So, why no 'How was everything' post? Very simple. From the moment I set foot on solid ground then until about 30 minutes ago, there was no power at my house ( Read more... )
