If you were not discouraged enough with life on earth last night, you should have tuned into “Last Days on Earth” on ABC’s 20/20. I was watching U.S. Open tennis, but I kept switching back to ABC and watching pieces of this program during [...]
Mike has “book tagged” me, and therefore I’m supposed to post my list of books according to the categories below (as it seems everyone else is doing these days.) I have to say that I didn’t like to read growing up. Other than my Bible, I avoided [...]
Is New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin as stupid as he (repeatedly) sounds?
Here’s several sports items I thought I’d mention.
U.S. Open
The U.S. Open started today, and having the day off I managed to watch a little of it. Not much excitement on day one, but I will be watching shortly as Andre Agassi takes the court to begin his final U.S. Open. I thought Andre might walk [...]

The U.S. Open begins in 10 days. College football kicks off in 13 days. I’m very excited about both. After a boring summer mostly filled with baseball (zzzzzz…), Americans all leaving Wimbledon very early, and World Cup soccer (actually, the soccer wasn’t that bad), I’m looking forward to something to watch again. [...]
Update: Mike pointed out – to my shame – that I’d left off Lt. Bookman from this list. I don’t know how I managed to skip over him, but clearly he deserves to be on this list, and high on it as well. So, I’ve updated this one to include “the library cop”.
I watched several [...]
