For the second year in a row, Cris Carter was snubbed for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  What more does a guy have to do?  He has over 1100 receptions (4th all time), 14,000 yards (7th all time), and 130 TD’s (3rd all time).  Carter made it to 8 Pro Bowls.  He [...]

The last two days have brought us our worst snow storm since January of 2004, where we got pelted by several inches of ice.  Power was out for days for some folks.  I actually lost cable for half-an-hour then, and I was ticked!  Just kidding.  We were fortunate to not suffer like many others in [...]

Wow, it was crazy this past weekend…  My son had an all-nighter and his school Friday night.  Of course, we had an 8:00 AM basketball game the next morning!  He stayed up until 4:00 AM, and I picked him up at 6:45.  We ate a quick McBreakfast, and then went to the school to play [...]

After hearing that Lord of the Rings: Conquest was built by the makers of Star Wars Battlefront, I had to download the demo and check it out.  SWBF did [...]

When I was a kid, 15 years seemed like a really, really  long time.  Now that I’m older, the years all melt together, and seem to fly by.  Tomorrow marks my 15th wedding anniversary.  I’m thankful and blessed to have had a wonderful marriage and family for these last 15 years.  It hasn’t always been [...]

My kids and I started a “family game night” last year, but got derailed after a few weeks due to our busy schedules.  I’m reinstituting “FGN”, and started things off by revisting Heroscape with my son.  We played a few games with the basic rules in the past, and it was good fun.  He’s also [...]

I know it’s not much by internet standards, but since last April, I’ve had over 50,000 hits to this blog.  They’re obviously not all unique, but that’s a bigger number than I ever expected.  Thanks for stopping by! Keep on clicking away, Mom!

I’ve lamented being a Cleveland sports fan many times on this blog.  In my 37+ years of rooting for teams from the “mistake by the lake” I have something like 2 MISL (Major Indoor Soccer League; yes, that’s an oxymoron) championships and 1 minor-league hockey championship to show for it.  Sure, the Indians have been [...]
