October Wedding
Spent the weekend in Richmond attending the wedding of two of our friends, Steve and Tanya. I was honored to serve as one of Steve’s groomsmen, and I think my ushering skills were top notch. Sharing their special day as well as spending the weekend with old friends was a true pleasure. The weather was…

Meltdown
I watched one half of a football game tonight. Then after that, I don’t remember a game being played. Right now, I’m embarrassed to be a Hokie. I’m tired of the excuses, the poor play, the personal fouls, the stupid penalities, and I’m tired of games like this. I’m tired of talented players underachieving. I’m…

Where are the protests?
So North Korea supposedly tested a nuke today. That’s super. Why has the world allowed them to get to the point where they are even close? I just don’t get it. This is way more than the “provocative act” than Bush is calling it. I fault him for letting the situation get this far. I…

Season Three
I’m sitting here watching the Battlestar Galactica premiere, and it hasn’t disappointed yet. The soundtrack is awesome and at times is very Gladiator-esque. They use music very well in this series. The religion dynamic is very interesting – the humans, the good guys, being polytheistic while the cylons, the bad guys, are monotheistic. I’m not…

Ugh
I think the thing that hurts the most is the way we lost today. I was worried after our performance last week, and it turns out for good reason. This was a winnable game for us, and our defense blew it in the first ten minutes. After the first quarter, we pretty much held the…

A football political statement
I’m sitting here watching the Saints-Falcons game, and the emotions are riding high in New Orleans. I really thought the Falcons were much better than the Saints, but I guess the emotional high of this night has lit a fire under the Saints and their defense is putting a whoopin’ on Vick & Co right…

What’s a bearcat?
Pretty lackluster first half for the Hokies today, the blocked punt for a safety aside. The defense really let us down, and the offensive line wasn’t playing very well. Beamer & Co really made just adjustments at halftime though as we played much better in the second half. The defense played better, and Ore just…

Oh and five
Tha’s my record so far in fantasy football. I haven’t won a game in either league that I’m in, and it’s just awesome. One of my teams is just plain awful, so there’s no surprise that I haven’t won a game yet. The other team, however, is a bunch of under achievers. It just doesn’t…

A hard (drive) lesson learned
Been off the air for awhile as we suffered through a major hard drive crash. I’ve never had a drive crash as hard as this one, but it was pretty old. I can’t get any machine to mount it, and all recovery efforts up to this point have been futile. I have a few things…

Summer Update
Brian and I went on vacation in May. He was supposed to write about it but I think he has given up on updating this website. We visited Disney World, Epcot, Sea World (which I’d never been to) and MGM studios. We had a great time and I loved meeting Shamu! After we came back…
