Right now, Spain is playing Germay for the Euro2008 championship. ESPN is going gaga over this. I know as an Ugly American that I am supposed to understand soccer or fut-ball is the end all and be all. It’s the World’s Sport. It’s a thinking man’s game. It’s the ultimate in endurance. It’s passionate. It [...]

Rain Rain go away
What is with the weather. Man, is it just me or does it seem to rain every night and then get really muggy during the day. Hey, I know its summer and the heat causes storms but enough is enough. It was cool last night though. The rain was so hard that it work up [...]

Changing nature of “keeping in touch”
A buddy of mine just had a baby. What did he do? Post photos all over his Facebook page so anyone in his ‘friends” network can see them. Just had a high school reunion. Photos and comments are all over the Web within hours. It’s amazing, ya know, how quickly we can disseminate information. And [...]

Got nothing to say
Terrible title to a post. I think I am going to set a new record for lack of readership but I honestly have nothing to say. Work is work. Life is life and it seems to keep raining at night and getting muggy during the day. Wow, summer in Peoria.
Thinking about taking the family on [...]

Summer’s here
and my car’s AC is dead. So far, it hasn’t been that bad and the boy loves having the wind blow into his face. It is like being in a space ship he says. I tell him, yes, it is like being in a space ship but space isn’t as warm. I tell [...]

The day the laughter died
George Carlin, dead, at 71. Wow. I thought the old guy would live forever. Honestly, I figured he had been through so much in his life that beating heart problems, drug addiction and the Republicans (Fox News didn’t even have it on the Home Page at of 7 p.m.) was just par for the course. Immorality is just [...]

Dare I try it, an open thread?
It works for those big time bloggers around here so I am going to try it and see if I have made the leap into the major leagues or if I am stuck on the charter bus for the next year or so. So, have fun, post. I always enjoy those other open “mike nights” [...]

My favorite blog is back
Someone else already did the post on it and got the love in terms of comments but I don’t care. I dig this guy, our own AntiPundit. First off, he can curse and make it sound intellectual. That’s neat. Second, he can get his point across without being vicious, even with the cursing. Third, he’s just [...]

Pirates get shipwrecked
We took the family to the first Pirates game of the year after Steamboat days. We figured the rides at the carnival weren’t appropriate for our little ones so off to the game. The Pirates, I want to say, are terrible. They fumbled on the first place. They couldn’t do anything in the end zone, the [...]

Looking to get hammered by other bloggers
Bill Dennis has gotten himself in a lather again over the apparent loss of the First Amendment. Background, he’s upset that that Diane Vespa couldn’t get into a press conference at D150 over the school hours there. Officials there told it was just for the media. Bill is up in arms. I think that’s a [...]
