Pick ‘Em Champ
I would be remiss if I missed the opportunity to briefly gloat about a championship I recently won. Sure, I may have failed miserably in one of my fantasy football leagues, and come in second in another. But, I did find success in another fantasy football league, though of a slightly different variety. Instead of […]
Friday Funnies
For whatever reason, the cable movie lords decided to put Boogie Nights back in their rotation, which meant the wife and I watched it about seven times over the course of the weekend. And no scene quite captures the majesty of the film as when Dirk and Reed snort probably a oil drum’s worth of […]

What I’ve Read (sorta): Dead Zero

What I’ve Read: The Search for God and Guinness
My sister, bless her heart, keeps trying to get me books that she thinks I’ll like. Now, to her credit, she got this one half-right. Looking at the title, the Guinness part is right up my alley. In the beer world, no pint gets me close to sheer happiness than Sir Arthur Guinness’ finest. It’s […]
