I’d like to thank Maurits for making good on his offer to come and play squash. We had two very good sets, which I feel obligated to point out that I won (2-0, 2-1). Maurits has a tricky serve and good ball control (said with as straight a face as possible), and to ensure victory …

Fantasy Football 2006 – Week 8
Hard to win when you have three players score 4 or less points each. Guze had a monster game from Larry Johnson (40 points), I had a monster game from Ladanian Tomlinson (41 points). LT and my quarterback (Vick) accounted for nearly 75% of my total points. In the end, Guze just had better guys …

Maldives
Photo set on Flickr So it’s been difficult to know how to write about this. Four weeks ago I went on vacation for the first time in 8 years with a woman other than Ann. Her name is Lynn and we have been seeing each other for four months now. If you are one of …

Most Americans never get exposed to squash. It’s one of those sports like cricket or rugby which they still play …

This movie looks so damn cool. You never really get over being a comic book geek. It stays with you, in the back of your mind, that time when you would greedily get each new issue from the shop, individually wrapped in its own plastic cover, pore over the pages and let yourself dream just …

Fantasy Football 2006 – Week 6
I was really starting to worry. It was Sunday night and both Guze and I had six of our seven players accounted for. I was up by a score of 76 to 70, but Guze had his quarterback (Rex Grossman) yet to play. I had only my defense yet to play (the Bears D). It …

Fantasy Football 2006 – Week 5
A miserable loss. I am only posting this because I am behind and I really would prefer to talk about Week 6 (which just happened). We missed Week 4 because I was on vacation in the Maldives. 2-1 to Guze at this point.

Free Video
This clip is seriously one of the funniest things I have ever seen. You just have to love sites like YouTube, GoogleVideo, and this one, VidiLife for the shit that you can find for free on the Internet. God bless the Internet and the normal distribution curve of natural selection for granting us such abundance …
