I can’t believe I actually called this one right! Boy, we look like a completely different team when Allen is hitting his shots. Rondo and Garnett and Perkins call all be mediocre and it doesn’t matter. That’s the nice thing … Continue reading →

While in recovery, a photography firm that works with the hospital tried to sell us their services. They were working with the hospital, they were allowed personal and direct access to the room and patients. It’s must be a good … Continue reading →

You may have seen some coverage of Clinton’s enormous “gaffe” regarding Bobby Kennedy. Oh, it was so outrageous. Oh, it was so tasteless. Oh, it just shows what an uncaring manipulative crone she is! Watch the actual video. So, what … Continue reading →

Elise was born very very early Sunday morning, May 25th. She’s 7 lbs, 19 inches, and a whole lot of beautiful. She was a few days early, which took us by surprise. For instance, Daddy had been planning to study … Continue reading →

Way to go boys! I watched most of the game, but I was very distracted. More details on that coming up.

Warning: Spoilers ahead. Don’t read if you don’t want to know what happens. This was a lot of fun. Was it fun because it’s one of our last nights out before the baby comes, or was it genuinely fun? I … Continue reading →

Well, that didn’t go like planned. I guess we need to steal one. I am optimistic we will. A few notes after watching every playoff game: * Perkins picks up dumb fouls. After a switch, he will often find himself … Continue reading →

Call me optimistic, but I think we match up better against Detroit than we did against Cleveland. Detroit doesn’t have any superstars, just a lot of good players. They play good team ball, both on offense and defense. It sounds … Continue reading →

Yesterday’s excellent BBQ party turned into a poker game. This was not a surprise, as ten out ten attendees were players! We were playing with 3,500 in chips. One player had boasted how he always plays and wins the first … Continue reading →

According to Money Magazine, the value of my home is going down 2.3% next year. That sounds right. It looks pretty good against the national average of -9.7%. Florida looks the worst, the “top” three markets are Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, … Continue reading →

I felt good going in tonight. I played tighter than usual. It seemed to pay off, I was looking good in the early going. Converted good hands, threw away weak ones, bluffed just enough to keep ‘em honest. With K-Q … Continue reading →

Eddie Van Halen went from looking like the Wicked Witch of Rock: To Ray Liotta: Check out this cancer weirdness. Rock n’ Roll baby! During the late 1990s Eddie Van Halen was treated twice for tongue and mouth cancer. During … Continue reading →

A rather good essay on everyday vegetarianism. Strong ending. An interesting article on subconscious bias. Zip Decoding, a neat visualization of the USA zipcodes. A map of the USA, roads only. America’s Foreign Policy choices, as seen through The Godfather. … Continue reading →

They still got it! Wow, do they got it! By they, I mean Alex & Eddie of course. They are incredible. As always, the high point of the show was when Eddie came out and noodled for ten minutes. Six … Continue reading →

I hosted last night. It was with a different group of people. It was much looser and more social. How’d I do? I think I played great. I outplayed everyone else. (I think. You never really know.) In the first … Continue reading →

Tonight we did knock-knock jokes. Here’s a typical knock-knock joke from a 5-year old: Knock knock! Who’s there? Table. Table who? Table shirt! Ha ha! We did this for twenty minutes. Then the two-year old wanted to play. Him: Daddy, … Continue reading →

This might be the dumbest editorial I’ve ever read. An astounding display of sheer stupidity. I was looking forward to reading Caplan’s book, now I’m not sure I’ll bother. Read it and behold the stupidity. Bert & Ernie discuss the … Continue reading →

Just a nightmare. Couldn’t get a hand to save my life. I bluffed, everyone calls. I do the exact same bet with a good hand (A-10 suited), they all fold. I foolishly chased twice so it wasn’t all because of … Continue reading →

Perspective The dumbest human being in the entire world. Kobe Byrant jumps over an Aston-Martin. ABC does the Lincoln-Douglas debates A collection of funny graffiti. It’s the 30th anniversary of spam (the technology kind). Here is the first spam ever. … Continue reading →

We were fifteen minutes into Game 6. The boy turns to me and asked, “Why does everyone keep saying Jesus?” “Who’s saying it?” “Everybody!” “You mean, on the TV?” “Yes!” “They’re saying Jesus?” “Yes, they all are!” I had no … Continue reading →
