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 […]
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 […]
