I’ve been a bit slow to post things to the blog this week. Not for lack of things to write, just for lack of time. Anyway, here are a few random thoughts and obvervations from the week that was.
Things found in Ethan’s toy box: A plastic cup, a stick of deodorant, a pen, a book, a [...]

Ten minutes arguing with Penny about cat urine. (Don’t ask.)
Nine issues of New Avengers read, bagged, and boarded.
Eight innings of baseball watched.
Seven really cute pictures of Ethan taken with my cell phone camera.
Six failed attempts at downloading those pictures. (F**king Verizon!)
Five episodes of Doctor Who watched. (Including this awesome one.)
Four miles walked in the woods at [...]

Three Super Bowls, two World Series, and now an NBA championship.

“A lot of wine, a lot of beer, a couple shots, maybe like 20 of them, digest it, get back to work,” Kobe Bryant said when asked how the Lakers could possibly bounce back.
Got that, kids? When the going [...]

One of my favorite things about taking the train to work is getting to read the Metro. (Hey now, stop laughing!) I mean, first of all, it’s free. And second, because it’s free, my expectations are low enough that I’m frequently surprised at the quality of the writing.

Before it completely fades from the national consciousness, I want to point out one thing about this whole “Spygate” nonsense that no one else wants to discuss: namely, just how widespread the illegal video taping practices may have been throughout the league. In his recent interview with the New York Times, former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh shared this little tidbit of [...]

If only I could go back in time and show my young, tormented 11-year-old-self this picture, the world might have looked a little brighter between 1986 and 2003.

It’s not quite 6:00 a.m., and the Red Sox are just minutes away from opening their World Series title defense in Japan. It’s as if they designed this whole trip for those of us with one-year-olds at home. Stay up late for a game? No way. Get up at 5:00 a.m. for the pre-game show? Hell, [...]

A day later and the Super Bowl loss still stings. If sports are supposed to be a form of escapism, what do you do when you want to escape from sports? Me, I go into media blackout mode. No sports radio, no ESPN, no newspapers, no websites. Nothing. The last thing I want to do is spend the [...]
