It didn’t end well

My invested interest in this season of football is effectively over. My team, the Chicago Bears, had a surprisingly good season despite early predictions. I knew that we still had some holes in our lineup that would cause problems throughout the season. Our largest problem, in my opinion, is a lack of a solid [...]

Lost and burnt

I haven’t golfed a round of 18 in quite a while. The last time I played I was with my dad and uncles and we played best ball. When my shots flew errant it wasn’t a big deal because we didn’t necessarily have to play where my golf ball landed.

On Saturday I played [...]

Rock usually wins

In a game of paper-rock-scissors any of the three can win. In a game of rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock most people can’t keep track of the rules so the winner is seldom decided. When you play rock vs. eye rock always wins.

On Friday I wanted to take care of as many chores [...]

Dumb dog

Dogs have an ability to know when you can’t afford to take them to the vet clinic. Yesterday, after much debate, Jessica and I decided to replace our grill with a propane/charcoal/smoker combo. While I was putting it together the dogs were running free in the yard. Jessica was in the yard playing hide [...]

Football

Jessica kicked me out of the house yesterday so that she could host a candle party. If she hadn’t kicked me out I surely would have left – no man wants to hang around when a candle party is in progress. So, I went down to Jeff’s house (Jessica’s bro-in-law) to watch some football. [...]

If only this was a drinking game

McCain probably won’t win the election unless something drastic happens in the next 20 days or if we experience the pain of the Bradley effect. If he should win and later die because he is…. old…. we could see Palin as President. Yes, it is frightening.

Check out this website. Every time she says [...]

Vengeance

I caught an interesting article about vengeance today where they mentioned an interesting experiment called the ultimatum game. Here is what wikipedia had to say about it

The ultimatum game is an experimental economics game in which two players interact to decide how to divide a sum of money that is given to them. [...]

Rooting for the underdog

I had a choice to make. I could root for the first team that could go undefeated or I could root for the underdog. I could root for a team in a conference and division that I didn’t really care about or I could root for a team in the conference that I watch [...]

Pointless ramble

I feel like writing something while knowing full well that I have little to share. I’ve mentioned almost everything of note in previous posts and there is very little that you don’t know about my experience while I am in Iraq. I still feel the need to post – but only time will tell [...]

Seahawks and Da Bears

All week long, I have been fighting on eBay to win tickets the this Sunday’s Seahawk’s game. John is a HUGE fan of Da Bears, so I thought this would be an amazing Christmas present. So, after finally after 3 days of battling it out on eBay, I found myself with 2 tickets to [...]
