I’ll never forget watching those buildings wall at [...]

I ordered one of these on my way through Monroeville before I hit the turnpike Saturday night. It was drive-thru so I don’t have a picture but it did look just like the commercial. Honestly I don’t see the hype. Red taco shell was the only impressive thought while the taste was like their standard [...]

I’ve played baseball of some form since I was 5 years old (for those keeping score, 27 years). As my 20’s came to an end I finally made the transition to softball shortly after busting up my hand at 3B while playing in NABA. I’ve always played baseball/softball the same way.

Jerry Reed passed away at age 71
Some may not know this but i’m a huge Smokey and the Bandit fan. Well of 1 and 2 at least. 3 was the corporate man trying to bleed the last few pennies out of the franchise. I admit that Jerry’s passing was a bit of a shock and [...]

2 weeks, over 1000 miles driven, 2 weddings, 3000 emails, 2500 Google Reader entries, a cleaned basement for Studio B to open and I’m still not ready to go back to work. So I’m taking one more day off. Actually for good reasons as I have 2 doc appointments. I’ll be back on track here [...]

I haven’t taken a vacation longer than 3 days since my honeymoon in 05. I know I said that once before but really I ended up going into work. I’ve taken days off for a 3 day weekend but nothing over an extended period of time. Starting tomorrow I’m finally giving in. Where am I [...]

I’m ready to ditch the PS2 and upgrade to a new gaming unit. I mostly play NHL/MLB/NFL games on my PS2 right now but I think with a better gaming unit I would broaden my horizons. I don’t own many games and usually trade them in when a new one comes in so I’m not [...]

Father’s Day has been rough to deal with these last 2 years since my dad passed. We’d either go to the races together or at least take in a ball game somewhere. Yesterday was a picture perfect day so Lushie took me out for mini-golf and go-carts at Fun Fore All to get my mind [...]
