So much to say
So, yes, it’s been awhile since I posted on here. Not sure why, but I just haven’t felt like writing anything. Sometimes I used to feel like I had to write these mini-essays about whatever was on my mind, and at times I wrote some really stupid stuff just because I thought I had to.…

Fantasy Recap
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).…

Goodbye, and good luck
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…

Pearl Harbor Day
It seems a little weird to call today Pearl Harbor Day. I mean, we don’t call 9/11 Twin Towers Day or Pentagon Day. It’s been so long since 1941 that most people can’t really relate to what Americans went through back then, but there are the inevitable comparisons to 9/11, so I imagine most people…

Sick Again
Monica and I are sick once again, and it’s due to us volunteering to watch the toddler class at church. Those kids are little germ factories, and they must have been in high production for us. We were still able to decorate the house for Christmas and enjoy the Hokies big win over UNC to…

Sunday Wind-down
Wow, what a stunning turn of events yesterday. First Tech destroyed UVA, and then Georgia Tech upsets Miami to give us the inside track on a BCS bowl. Like the Circuit City commercials, it was just what we needed. How did we lose to this team? Despite this being my favorite time of the year,…

The Burg
Went spent the past weekend in good ol’ Blacksburg. I even had a chance to take a couple of shots for the moblog. Had a great dinner at Mike’s Grill on Friday and lunch at Sharkey’s and dinner at Bogen’s on Saturday which is a record restaurant turn-out for us. I always try to hit…

Sporting Events
So on Friday night, we went to a minor league hockey game. Hockey? What’s that you say? Yes, the hockey has ceased to exist for the most part this season, and it’s not that I’m a huge fan or anything, but I do enjoy going to the games. This game was for our hometown Admirals.…

You are correct, sir
Didn’t do a whole lot this weekend as I’m recovering from my cold. I’m slowly feeling better, and I think my veins are pumping Robitussin now. Been watching some good NFL playoff action today. Too bad the blizzard didn’t hit today instead of yesterday because that would have made these games even more fun to…
