Even More Snow

Well, had to brush off the car this morning for the first time this year. Here’s a couple quick pictures I got too: Couple quick more thoughts on snow, while it’s fresh on my mind (and for anyone in West Michigan, especially those who commute, it’s probably fresh on all our minds). When the first …

More Snow

Well, I take that back. It is coming down like crazy now. Which means that everyone in the Grand Rapids area just slammed on their brakes and cause about 25 accidents, making driving completely ridiculous. However, the magic of it falling is here. I love it. I hate the danger of driving, and I hate …

Snow

Well, it is officially snowing here in Michigan. But it’s the first crappy snow of the year, so there’s no real flakes yet.

Pittsburgh

Well, sorry I haven’t posted much in the last week. I’ve been trying to get a couple new functionality things working, and I think I’m going to start another blog on this site (ie, there’s Random Thoughts, and Sports, and soon there’ll be one more). However, I am now officially a grown-up. Nope, I’m not …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week 9)

So Peyton finally beats the Patriots, T.O. was finally suspended, and the Bears FINALLY beat Jim Haslett. I’m sure that last one was in the back of all your minds. And actually now that I read that last one, how pathetic is that? Anyway, my beloved Bears remain in first place, and they would have …
