I know I’m rather “bah humbug” about the holidays. Look, I just don’t get that worked up about them. Sorry, it’s just the way it is. But a week ago when I was driving with the wife to run a few errands, NPR replayed a story they ran back in 2008 that just floored me. […]
This is another post from the Hawaii files. And, sadly, this one involves UK fans. Because I have to be honest, even my beloved state produces people that are idiots. Wait a minute, this is not news to me or anyone. The UK-Washington game was a fantastic basketball game and naturally we had wonderful seats. […]

My trip to Hawaii provided me the chance to read a bunch of books in between UK basketball, golf, snorkeling and lots and lots of food. I’ve always been a David Sedaris fan, so when I heard he was coming out with a rather bizarre book of fables involving animals, I said what the hell […]
So I learned about Taylor University, which for its basketball team does a weird tradition the last game before final exams. Seems the whole crowd remains silent until the Taylor University team scores its 10th point, at which time the crowd goes totally apeshit. I love it. Sure, it’s gimmicky, but it’s better than being […]
