Finally! I have achieved my goal and blogged every single day of March. This silly little challenge was just a personal effort to see if I could get back into the routine of something I had kind of pushed to the background. But I succeeded and now have 31 days of fantastic content for you […]
I have to admit, I used to do this. I still might do it on occasion, but I try to avoid this particular annoyance as much as possible these days. Partially because I realize it doesn’t matter, but mostly because I have realized how stupid it sounds. People have to stop bragging about not doing […]
A lot of people have placed an undue focus on 2012 because they think the Mayans predicted the world would end later this year. We can accomplish very little by sitting and talking about the absurdity of an ancient culture using some stone tablet thousands of years ago to accurately predict the apocalypse. We’d probably […]
I took off last Thursday and Friday to watch the first two days of March Madness along with the NCAA wrestling tournament. That’s why blogging has been light.

There are four NFL playoff games today, two next week, a week off, then the Super Bowl. The Pro Bowl also doesn’t count. Seven games, then nothing, nada, zip. […]
For the second year in a row, I am running the NCAA basketball pool at work. The person who had run it in previous years couldn’t swing it last year, so I stepped in. I didn’t have many problems so took it on again this year. Things are going well, with the exception of my […]
I went looking for something good to watch this morning before the second day of the basketball tournament started. I scored big time as “Meatballs” was one on of the movie channels. I love this movie. I think it doesn’t get enough credit for how entertaining it is. Plus, this scene pretty much summed up […]
