I ran today. I ran ten miles, which if you’ve never run 10 miles, is a long way. I’ve run 10 miles before and it’s not easy. And, in the interest of full disclosure, I’ve never really run that far. I’ve run most of it, but I usually walk some. [...]

A new season
Can you smell it? Yeah, that’s it…breathe it in, deep. It’s like the feeling you get right before a thunderstorm when everything is crisp and your senses are fiery. Close your eyes, picture yourself there. The open expanse of grass, the smooth feel of leather beneath your fingertips, the warm sun [...]

The Perfect Day
There used to be a beer commercial a while back with manly-men sitting around a blazing fire tossing back a few brews, having recently just gutted a fish or slaughtered a deer, exclaiming that “it just doesn’t get any better than this.” I believe I know what they mean. Currently, we’re experiencing a wealth of [...]

Got a case of the Mondays…
Without a doubt, I’m exhausted. I was tired when I went to bed last night and now I’m still tired, but I have to sit upright (or at least semi-upright) for the next 8 hours and try not to bite anyone’s head off. As Maxine would say…’Don’t worry. If I bite your [...]

Instant Classic
I would never imagine, by the way, that this post, or any other post really, would become an instant classic. I do, however, take issue with the term. Last night’s game between Louisville and West Virginia will almost certainly be termed an instant classic because of its double overtime and previous history between [...]

Could it be…SATAN?
This may be my most ambitious post to date. It’s easy to take on various topics, some more so than others, but to attack EVIL itself…well it’s hard to pin down. But, I think I’ll try: The woman to the right is Ann Coulter and she is by most accounts, certainly this [...]
