I didn’t realize until Friday that yesterday was going to be the 20th anniversary of the Challenger disaster. I remember exactly where I was that day.
My mom and I had just moved back from Florida, and my dad was still there trying to sell our house. I had just started the second half of my [...]

We’re going to get a nasty reputation if we keep doing stupid things again and again. I know it’s getting extra attention from the administration because of Marcus, and because of that Weaver felt he had to act. I honestly believe that without the prior incidents, Weaver would have probably done nothing.
And what’s up with [...]
I read a great piece on media bias today by Bruce Bartlett. He pontificates on the big media’s focus on Republican misdoings vs. the same (or worse) behavior of Democrats.
…the liberal media harp on Republican misdeeds monotonously because to them the subject never gets boring. By contrast, Democratic wrongdoing tends to [...]
You may not have noticed but our webcam wasn’t working for awhile. I had a Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 for a few years, but it kicked the bucket. I may keep it around for awhile to tinker with just because.
I picked up a Creative Labs WebCam Instant cheap, and it’s now functioning as our new [...]
I’m ashamed to admit that I actually watched the Golden Globe awards tonight. Actually, Monica forced me to watch it.
I was glad to see that Steve Carrell won for The Office. That by far is the best show on TV right now, and Steve is terrific on it. It really makes me LOL. Yes, I [...]
Wow, some great NFL playoff games today. It reminded me that I hadn’t posted yet about my performance in my fantasy football leagues this year.
In the league that a friend of mine runs, my team, Feats of Strength, wasn’t so hot. My draft was poor, and my players really underperformed (when they weren’t injured). I [...]
I forgot to mention back in December that we saw The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Now, I flat out loved The Chronicles of Narnia when I was a child. I used to read them and imagine myself as Peter, sitting in Cair Paravel, going on great adventures, and talking to animals. I was thoroughly [...]
I guess maybe deep down, we had all seen this coming – one of those scenarios you thought about but hoped would never happen.
Marcus, I think you have a lot of growing up to do. You’ve got some character flaws that unfortunately manifested themselves on the field and in other places. I don’t think it [...]
We’re ringing in the New Year with family here in New York while checking out the Times Square web cams.
We’re heading home tomorrow. It was a great time in New York this holiday season. It’s always great to get home (especially because we miss Jack!), but we’ll certainly miss spending time with the family.
Happy New [...]
