College Football

Quite day in college football for the most part. IF you look at the College football top 25 the only real upset was Colorado State over Colorado and even that wasn’t that shocking as CSU has accomplished the upset 3 out of the last 4 years. Michigan eeked out a victory and Penn State out [...]

Good News for My Fantasy Football Team

Smith set to end his holdout from Jags’ camp. This is good news as I was set to lose a key part of my offense if Smith continued to hold out. Now, with Bret Farve, and Marshall Faulk I am looking good.

College Football has returned

I have a simply agenda today: watch football. My Michigan Wolverines start their season today with a tough game against Washington. I am nervous.

Internet Campaigning in Ohio

Interesting article in todays plain dealer: Hagan Web campaign ad ruffles Taft camp feathers. In case you haven’t been following the story. Ohio Gubinatorial candidate Tim Hagan doesn’t have enough money to run statewide TV ads. Governor Taft, on the other hand, has like $8 million – more than enough to saturate the airwaves with [...]

I've come to the realization . . .

that I am trying too hard. I am forcing it. The truth is, my interest in blogging, and my ability to do it well comes and goes. I have always been more interested in reading then writing. I need some sort of structure to write well. When I am forced to do so, as in [...]

Dropping your land line

Intersting NYT story about dropping local telephone service and using just cell phone service: When the Cellphone Is the Home Phone. I have been thinking about doing this myself. we simply do not use the phone a great deal so it is tempting to just use a cell phone. My problem is that I can’t [...]
