To kick it off, I played cricket on Friday afternoon with people from work. It’s kind of like baseball, but different. You hit with a paddle. I took pictures, you can see them here.
Then, the Cubs got spanked by the Sox on Friday. Bummer. At least Saturday’s game was closer - if they didn’t leave [...]

It’s a sports-themed weekend
Zzzzzzz….
I’m so tired. This week has been nuts, and I come home from work and just want to sleep. Except that when I try to sleep, I just sit there…. until last night. I passed out at who knows what time (it was pretty early), and woke up this morning without any idea what day [...]
New Match Game
They’re coming out with a remake of The Match Game (it’s about time!). Per TV Guide, the cast will be: Sarah Silverman, Norm McDonald from SNL, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Niecy Nash (Reno 911), Super Dave Osborne, and Rashida Jones (Karen, Jim’s ex, from The Office).
While half of these people made me say, [...]
Great news about Poppa!
I cannot thank you all enough for your prayers and happy thoughts for Poppa. He got an update from the doctor, and the infection is clearing up (if not already cleared)! This is fantastic news, and while he’s not out of the woods with his recovery, this is a huge step in the right direction.
So [...]
So I think I dig dancing
At the recommendation from several friends, I started watching So You Think You Can Dance this year. It’s on Fox on Wednesdays/Thursdays (dancing/results). I actually find it to be very entertaining, with the exception of Mary, the shrill Paula-like judge. I should have mentioned this before now, so that you could have checked it out [...]
It’s (almost) Firefox day!
Ok, I admit that I’m a little late in jumping on the excitement bandwagon on this one, because I didn’t know that release day is tomorrow, but it’s Firefox 3 day tomorrow! Version 3 of the vastly-superior-to-Internet-Explorer web browser is released tomorrow. It’s been through a lot of beta testing (meaning less new release bugs), [...]
What’s next?
What do you want me to talk about? I’ve been becoming a little disheartened with the blog lately, because I spend a lot of time pouring through spam to approve comments, and there haven’t been many. It seems like ever since _____-gate last year, it’s been different out here and people are hesitant to say [...]
Need some prayers
Poppa (my father-in-law) needs some prayers, people. Stat! He had his knee replaced back in February, and has been having a lot of problems because it’s not healing right. They had to scope it once, and since then, it’s still not where it should be. He’s at a point now where there’s one hole that’s [...]
