It’s been three years now, and I’m still not over it. For a multitude of reasons, I will never get over it. I have the video on my computer, but I don’t really know why. It’s not like I watch it or anything… I really can’t bear to, unless I feel like getting incredibly angry [...]

I just about put a rock through my television set today. I’ve uttered more obscenities than anybody should on Mother’s Day. I screamed murder when Luke got hammered by Price on that breakway. I seethed when Deron Williams laughed it up on the sidelines. When Boozer got bailed out again. When Kirilenko bitched and moaned [...]

If I had my way, there wouldn’t be any white appliances in the world. Microwaves, refrigerators, toaster ovens, coffee machines… none of that bullshit. And forget about white garbage containers. And everything, and I mean everything - from bookshelves to tables to televisions and sofas - would have wheels on them, with little kickstands to [...]

I remember back in the day that Domino’s pizza boxes would have reheating instructions printed on the side. Place entire box in the oven, 350 degrees, etc, etc. But did you know that the box itself can potentially spawn ashes from the oven, then have the cardboard corner catch on fire when you stupidly try [...]

He had 22 points by the end of the first quarter. It didn’t feel like he missed more than two shots through the half, and he wound up with 49 for the night. This time though, I couldn’t count more than a couple of bad shots among the bunch. There wasn’t a single possession where [...]

I have to admit, it is kind of cool to see “bank error” on the official record. Of course, with board games, these things always went in my favor to the tune of $200. In real life, it’s just a refund of the third $30 overcharge fee that I had to call twice about to [...]

I’m pretty low maintenance (in case any wealthy young ladies happen to be reading this). I rarely buy clothes, I collect a couple of comics, and my only extraneous expenses are movies and baseball games. Once in a blue moon, however, something will catch my eye, and I have to have it - like I’m [...]

It’s an 11-0 game, and the good guys are on the short end of the stick. Only a quarter of the sellout crowd at Angel Stadium remains, if that. A couple of hours and a $7 bratwurst ago, there was a raucous 43,000+. No more. My friend Roger has joined the departed masses, but I [...]

April 1. Day 9. A couple of hours at Heathrow, one more on the runway, and then it’s ten in the air. I’m already getting back into the swing of things, having a little movie marathon on the plane instead of doing the wise thing and trying to nap for a few hours. The only form [...]

March 31. Day 8* *Courtesy of British Airways and the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow. I’m tired. Exhausted. What does it feel like to have an extra, unplanned day of an European trip? It’s obviously not that bad, or bad at all, once I pushed my real-life responsibilities out of my mind. Isn’t that the entire point [...]
