So the buzz today is all about how American Idol is back for a seventh season. Why is it such a big deal? It has always been popular, but is probably more so this year because of the writer’s strike putting most of network TV into rerun hell. I am getting so tired of [...] As I have mentioned previously, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. As most people who follow politics know, Mitt Romney is also a member of the LDS Church and is running for the Republican nomination for President, which has led to chatter [...] As an LSU fan, I will make a statement that will surprise most.

I’ve been a Tiger fan for years, and in the good years and the bad there has always been one certainty – LSU will always beat Kentucky in football. Even during [...] Here’s an odd one for you. I had to overnight some documents via DHL yesterday. Apparently the concept of the shortest distance between two point being a straight line is totally lost on them. My shipment was going from Houston TX to Baton Rouge LA. Via ground, it is about a 4.5 hour journey. By [...] I headed out to the ballgame last night with my brother-in-law and his wife, along with the other brother-in-law. The game itself was awful with the Astros losing to the Nationals 7-0. It was one of those nights where nothing could go right for the home crowd. The bad luck even extended to the stands. [...] OK, I just had to vent on this. I went out this afternoon to run some errands and as I was driving around there was someone begging for money at every friggin’ intersection with a traffic light! I am not kidding, every single one! Some of them were quite persistent too, not leaving you alone [...] |
