Jim Caple says it best. With the NHL where it is today, and the MLB managing to hang on despite itself, my interest in pro sports is waning. Thanks for the sendoff Jim, you captured everything quite nicely. To the Expos, a hearty farewell. It’s amazing what the players and coaching staff did over the […]

my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt Sometimes, that’s just the way it is. Ya ever feel like apologizing to all your friends and family for being who you are? Tonight […]

Mike’s post on signing up for DSL service made me chuckle. He’s right, if someone has to ask how they can give you excellent customer service today, they probably won’t be able to. My personal favorites are companies that use their Customer Service lines to pitch new/enhanced services, when all you really want to do […]

So I went and saw a doctor-type, and they told me that I had strained my extensors, including my glutes, on the left side of my body. This would explain why my ass hurts, too (and no, not in that way). He didn’t think I had done any skeletal damage, and that I should start […]
