My reading this year has dropped off a great deal from recent years. I’m a slow reader to begin with, so when I was reading between 30 and 40 books a year over the last 5-6 years, that was somewhat of a miracle to begin with. But this year, I’ve found it difficult [...]
Duke won another close one last night at home against Kent State. They continue to turn the ball over too often. Jon Scheyer had 5 turnovers last night, which is unacceptable. The other thing that bothered me last night is that at times their defense seemed a little weak, and that’s been [...]
It’s that time of year again. In years past I’ve done this a little differently, but it’s time once again to reveal my favorite music of the past year. I started this during lunch yesterday, but haven’t had time to finish it until now. I love music, especially stuff that rocks, so [...]
Arkansas’ basketball team had one game on their schedule this season to be played here in Little Rock. That game was this afternoon against Texas Tech. Bob Knight came to town and collected his 878th win of all time by beating the Hogs 71-56. He now needs two more wins to pass [...]
I wrote about hard rock/heavy metal a few days ago, and the following night I see none other than Twisted Sister on Leno. Now, that may be disturbing to some, but what’s disturbing to me is what they were singing.
O Come All Ye Faithful.
Did you say…

I was sad to see the news yesterday that Peter Boyle had died Tuesday night. Boyle was known mostly for his role in Young Frankenstein and, more recently, as the father of Ray on Everybody Loves Raymond.
Being a fan of the show, I loved Boyle’s Frank Barone character. He delivered some great lines [...]
For years now I’ve had a beef with VH1 over their Behind The Music series. My problem with it? No Iron Maiden. After countless episodes featuring crap like Backstreet Boys, Bon Jovi, Leif Garrett, Nick Lachey, Ricky Martin and even Twisted Sister and Ratt, I can’t fathom why they have continued to [...]
During my junior high years, I was a huge fan of video games in general, but Pac-Man specifically. I even owned the Ken Uston book Mastering Pac-Man and learned all of the patterns so that I could excel at the game. Which I did, although I suspect that learning the patterns and reaching [...]
When my son was born in 2004, I wanted to name him Larry Joe*. My wife objected.
I was a huge Celtics fan in the 80’s, and Larry Joe Bird is, by far, my favorite basketball player of all time. In fact – Michael notwithstanding – I still view Larry and Magic as the [...]
Let me ask this: why is it that, when I visit Kroger, Wal-Mart, etc. these days and buy 2, maybe 3 items, I get a receipt that’s roughtly 18 inches long? Why is this necessary??
