• Football Thoughts 9/22

  I had written a couple of football-themed posts last week, but faced with finishing them up and posting them here, I just wasn’t feeling it. Perhaps it was because my beloved Steelers looked terrible over the first two weeks of the season, especially getting hammered by the hated Ravens in week 2–but I don’t so.…

• Sunday Morning Rumblings

  I don’t have a particular topic in mind, and while it occurs to me that I could open up my links to news pages and scour the daily dose of mayhem, gloom, and marketing for the latest tragedy/outrage/scourge/feel-good moment of the day, so that I might feed my hungry inner commentator, I sometimes feel that…

• HIPSTER GOD–Beards are Best

  I’ve been enjoying the current prominence of hipsters–I say prominence in respect to the temptation to write “fad” or “trend” because, unlike a lot of trends, hipsters are not so broadly defined, and much like polygamists and Seattle Seahawks fans they’re always out there, we’re just not used to seeing them in full plumage.  I…

• An Exhausting, But Damn Fine Weekend Part 1: Swimming District Championships

  I don’t keep a diary or journal all that often–scrawled notes, here and there–of things I want to remember, but the majority of my life I’ve confined to the dark recesses of my increasingly lethargic memory.  Occasionally, I take an exception and inflict the journaling on you, gentle readers. At the end of last week…

• Football: Ugh. Pitt 21, Navy 24

  Seriously?  Pitt throws the game away to a team playing triple option, filled with players recruited mostly for their ability to fit into a submarine?  Why do I care about this team? When I started this, my most successful and sustained blog in a long history of failed, half-assed blogs* I made a decision that…
