..because I ate the garlic fries at Pac Bell SBC Park ATT Stadium here in San Fran yesterday, and like tithing to the United Way, they ARE the gift that keeps on giving… I’m glad that my wife and I … Continue reading →

I’m on my annual baseball trip with several other protracted adolescents who are chronologically around my age. Today we will be seeing the Giants play at the field pictured above. I’m not sure who the team was honoring when this … Continue reading →

The news that Peter Gammons, ESPN baseball analyst, is in the hospital “resting in intensive care after undergoing an operation to treat a brain aneurysm” hit me hard this morning. I don’t know Gammons personally, but I’m a baseball fan, … Continue reading →

Hard Right? Limbaugh is reportedly also interested in Kleinheider’s cell phone package. I guess he didn’t want the ditto-heads to know…. Update: June 27th – The more I thought about this story, the more I have to wonder why the … Continue reading →

I’ve already forgotten …..

I was cruising around blog-land attempting to see all the things wrong with me (I consider myself somewhat progressive and, GoDfrey Daniels, I attend the Episcopalian church). Apparently I’m aligned with terrorism, besieged with unnatural desires, and just an ass … Continue reading →

When I was a kid on trips with my parents, my mother non-stop would be giving us a running commentary on all the things that we were seeing. Every mile or so, something on the side of the road would … Continue reading →

In today’s Tennessean’s Titan Report (Jim Wyatt’s column), the budding friendship between ‘Pacman’ Jones and Vince Young is described as unique. Besides the obvious hope that the Vince circle of friends doesn’t encompass some of Pacman’s more ‘illustrious’ gang, one … Continue reading →

Courtesy of Clicked, I found this great new mash-up called Wikimapia using Google Earth where you can identify buildings, parks, monuments, etc. and YOU get to name them (if somebody hasn’t already early-birded their way to that spot). The major … Continue reading →

I’ll start with a stereotype: The Chicago White Sox ‘fiery Latin’ manager Ozzie Guillen recently dove into hot water with an angry diatribe about sportswriter Jay Mariotti. Mariotti chided Guillen for publicly humiliating a rookie pitcher for NOT THROWING at … Continue reading →

Seeing anyone with red hair Hearing anyone with a goofy laugh Hearing people who clomp when they walk Seeing certain pictures Thinking of that last hug today at the airport when I realized I wasn’t going to see her until … Continue reading →

On the front age of today’s Tennessean is a story about the various and sundry means that illegal immigrants are secreting themselves into the US. One of the more creative (and possibly whacked out) ways to sneak in is via … Continue reading →

I’ve noticed that some of the conservative bloggers I read and respect are blogging their non-bleeding hearts out for Jim Bryson, Republican candidate for governor. I can’t help but believe that Bryson’s candidacy has as much traction as a Kia … Continue reading →

There is apparently some unwritten rule that no more than 60% of my immediate family can or will look at the camera when a picture is being taken. This is the best we can do. The event we were celebrating … Continue reading →

but I don’t think we have to feed you. Happy 64th, Sir Paul.

I realize this issue has been refried more than a vat of beans at La Hacienda, but as a both large and small ‘D’ democrat, I would just like to iterate my discomfort at the level of discourse generated by … Continue reading →

According to THIS story on the MSNBC website, FEMA paid for a sex change with hurricane Katrina relief money. In a possibly related story, a divorce lawyer’s services were also procured with Katrina cash. This along with another 16.8 MILLION … Continue reading →

We decided to go indie for movie night last Friday night. We chose the movie ‘Water’, an Indian movie about the fate of lower caste widows in 1930′s India. The movie begins with newly widowed young woman being informed of … Continue reading →

For the 27th straight year since we moved back to Nashville, I was not invited to the Swan Ball. I think I actually may know one couple who may have been invited. I really don’t have the proper clothing for … Continue reading →
