  • Happy New Year, Or: I Totally Meant To Write More On Vacation But Life Interfered

    Happy 2007, everyone. I hope your New Year’s celebrations went well. I got some great Christmas gifts this year, the latest of which is a most excellent head cold that I have very kindly shared with Will. So as for me, I’m off to bed. I’ll post more later in the week.

  • I’m Too Young To Feel This Old

    I turned the ripe old age of 29 today, meaning that in a little less than 366 days, I will officially be 30, a fact that makes me Officially Old, the import of which my blushing bride has reminded me of several times throughout the course of the day. That’s not what makes me feel…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas, everyone. Hope you and your families had a wonderful day.

  • Not Appearing In iTunes: Skalvin And The Chip-punks

    Those in my readership familiar with ska of a mid-to-late-90’s vintage (Vinny, Andies One and II, Brad, I’m looking in your directions) are no doubt (hah!) able to recognize the works of Less Than Jake. One of their seminal albums, titled Hello Rockview, had been running through my head recently, so I pulled it down…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 13

    Soldiers of Fortune (192.25) defeated The Barrage (153) Well, that’s it, folks. The Barrage went down in a blaze of glory. I’m a little gratified that all the other division winners lost as well. I think it was just a bit of a freak week; in fact, there was only one higher-ranked seed that won…

  • Attention, AndyOne

    Beer Tycoon is calling your name. Heed it, just not while I’m about. The theme music to Meister Brau/Brau Meister/whatevertheheckitwas still echoes in my skull.

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 12

    Bumskis (163.75 pts) defeated The Barrage (151.75 pts) The Barrage (151.75 pts) defeated CTRL-ALT-DELETE (135.25 pts) As I predicted, I did indeed have trouble with the bumskis, primarily because of the loss of Donovan McNabb. Had I had a quarterback to equal t.b.’s Drew Brees, I belive I would have had a shot at beating…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 11

    The Barrage (196.50 pts) defeated Team V (140.50 pts) The Barrage (196.50 pts) defeated TO’s Cry for Help (143.75 pts) I pulled out another two wins in stellar fashion – while losing McNabb for the season to a torn ACL, Tomlinson and Chad Johnson both decided to go off and score me the vast majority…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 10

    The Barrage (191.50 pts) defeated Phyllis Diller Fan Club (180.25 pts) The Barrage (191.50 pts) defeated Deep Fried Turkey (153.50 pts) I returned to my winning ways in Week 10, moving to a 15-5 record with two big wins. While McNabb had what amounted to a rather pedestrian day with only 24 points, Tomlinson once…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 9

    Self Destruction (150.50 pts) defeated The Barrage (147.25 pts) Butt Stompers (169.25 pts) defeated The Barrage (147.25 pts) Well, I went and did it – I allowed emotion and affinity for my hometown team to cloud my judgement, and oh, it cost me (as you can see). Had I simply kept my head down and…
