The Winter Olympics are now over. Did you enjoy them? Did you watch ANY of it?
I did, and am startled to announce my personal conversion: The winter games are more fun than the summer games.
Can’t believe it? I can hardly believe it either. I have always been one (of the many) who trash [...]

Tiger apologized recently. It was broadcast live on TV. This was a really big story.
Whole televised sports hours were dedicated to discussing all aspects of this.
Countless hours of radio programming, even on non-sports stations, have parsed his words and vocal intonations. Newspapers and magazines are swimming in articles about this.
Was he sincere?
Maybe you know [...]
As you probably know by now, Tim Tebow has an ad in The Big Game this weekend. He with his mother are discussing the choice that she made not to have an abortion. For some reason this ad is considered controversial. By who, I don’t know.

We survived our recent camping adventure.
A number of years ago a few of my friends and I just did this as a lark. We knew of a great place to canoe, and two or three of us took the seven hour drive on up there.
It was such a good time that we turned it [...]

These are the dog days of summer. There is almost nothing interesting happening, at least in OUR corner of the world.
The only political diversion is the process of approving Sonia Sotomayor as the next Supreme Court justice.
Because politics is a never-ending game, some conservatives tried to inflate some of her off-handed comments into ‘proof’ [...]

Yikes. Is it baseball season already? Wow, time to join in.
Yes, we know the season started many weeks back, but it takes a while for us to get warmed up. We mean ‘warmed up’ quite literally, because it can be stinking cold at those early season games, but all is well now, the weather [...]

The NBA has produced many exciting moments this year, but only one situation that can be truly described as a tragedy.
In Orlando, during the playoffs, Magic fan Ernest Provetti had secured two seats right next to the Magic bench, in row one, to watch the game with his 12 year old son, Nicholas. [...]
