So other than my distaste for the recent reffing of the Caps/Pens series and lack of action by the NHL on a very dirty hit with intent to injure by Ovechkin, I've figured out why hockey is so damned stressful to watch. It moves so fast. There's no time to relax except commercials, and the action can go on for a long time, which involves a lot of ( Read more... )

ESPN makes fun of the new Lions logo, and in the process invents the best Buffalo logo ever, and a pretty amusing Penguins logo. I got a laugh over the Caps, too. But nothing tops the "fiercificated" Washington Wizards logo...http://sports.espn.

On my way home from a meeting, I saw a guy driving a tractor which looked like it was formerly a lawn mower with the blades removed. He was pulling an old-fashioned mower used prior to engines being common. It was a little weird ( Read more... )

The biggest problem is, I can't afford this job. I'm getting paid ( Read more... )

This is sort of the teaser to some news I'll announce probably over the weekend. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KIDS. Thought that was important to note, so stop going there! Anyway, I have good reason for not posting YET, but I'll tell you that it's a happy decision on my part, though it means times might get a little tough... As I said, more ( Read more... )

Jon's off watching Watchmen with Luke and some others, and I had to work today (not to mention I have no interest in seeing Watchmen - not my thing, sorry guys), so here I am at home alone on a rainy Sunday. Which definitely isn't a complain, for the record. I desperately need to do laundry and pack to head home for a few days. And while I'm ( Read more... )
