Final Words
I already vented about the whole Olympics situation. I don't intend to re-hash every thing because I think I have accepted the fact that things probably won't change. First off,…
A Tale of Two Tubbys
When you watch competitions like the Olympics, you really can't expect to see a little bit of yourself in the athletes. The closest I have ever gotten was watching a…
It Had to Be Him
I will knock out a few post-Olympic posts today to wrap up the Games. I did not need any more reasons to hate Sidney Crosby. I think he's an entitled…
Converted
I truly intended to write more about the Olympics, but work and some sinus problems kinda, sorta got in the way. I ended up crashing early a bunch this past…
Pay Attention
We had one of those special opportunities to go see a movie over Valentine’s Day weekend. I really looked forward to sitting down and enjoying a pleasant little film.
In the end, that did happen. However, I feel like my ADD got in the way a little bit. I blame it on the much-worse ADD of other people.

Maybe I am just spoiled because I work in higher education and have the opportunity to get some free days off when we have some crazy weather event like we just had.
More NBC Bashing
I can find many bad aspects of how NBC has chosen to cover these Olympics. Smarter people than me have tackled that task. Let's just focus on the horrible execution…
I Still Don’t See It
Today starts a series of occasional posts about the Olympics. I will vent about what I hate, praise what I like and just point out random stuff. So NBC showed…
