Year in Review Addendum

So I totally forgot this last year too, but a couple quick things to add to my year in review post from a couple weeks ago: The Fleet Foxes Award This is a (sort of) new category this year and I give it to the band that I think is ok (I even own their …

San Fran Trip Part Deux

So hey, I’m in San Francisco right now, and it’s just as lovely as the last time I was here. I don’t know if I’ll have time to update much, but if you’d like to see pictures of my adventure, just check flickr and facebook, as I’ll be updating them there. Love from the West …

2009 in Review

So I’m a little late on this, but Charley has been chomping at the bit, so I’ll finally post this. Two of my favorite things in the world are reminiscing and making lists, so it’s no surprise that every year I like to sum it up by doing just that.  If you’d like to review my …

Hawaii Trip Day 9

As I predicted, Day 9 would involve waking up early and being covered in sweat at some point.  However, this time we decided to also take a rental car along with us.  So we headed out and picked one up. It was a Toyota Prius, and I will say, it was quite fun to drive.  …

Hawaii Trip Day 8

Well as per usual, we got up quite early in the morning to head out somewhere beautiful and come back sweat soaked.  This time we went to the Manoa Falls Rainforest that sits in the middle of Oahu.  It’s a rainforest, a for real rainforest, and since the only reference point that Ron or I …

Hawaii Trip Day 7

(sorry for the hiatus on these, things have been a little hectic since I’ve been back.  Hopefully I still remember everything, but if not, I’ll try to at least make it entertaining) So Day 7 started by being attacked by a giant island snake.  I think I’m remembering that right.  Let’s try again. Originally I …

NFL First Guessing 2009 Week 9

I’m traveling again, so not much time to post thoughts.  I will just say that that was the most uninspired 30-6 win I’ve ever seen, and holy cow are the Browns terrible.  Okay, so here’s my picks. Last Week Record:  8-5 Season Record: 73-43 Washington @ Atlanta Arizona @ Chicago Baltimore @ Cincinnati Houston @ …

NFL First Guessing 2009 Week 8

I can’t even bring myself to comment on that Bears game last week.  Just disgustingly embarrassing.  So ridiculously out-coached, and if there’s another week like that, Lovie should lose his job.  He’s not going to though, because he still has two years left on his contract.  There’s no way they’ll pay him out.  I’ve had …

NFL First Guessing 2009 Week 7

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s a Lovie Smith thing, or if it’s a “being a Bears fan” thing, but it seems like every time the Bears lose, they should have won.  Both games this season that the Bears lost, they dominated in every stat except turnovers and score.  And the Atlanta game was that …
