Cullinary discoveries

As I have spent most of my adult life trying to get rid of the blubber around my middle, I have attempted most diet/weight loss programs that are available. While all of them were giant failures except NutriSystem – which I couldn’t afford to stay on...

NFL Picks Week 8 – Who Ya Got?

The Rams Todd Gurley said of international games, “It needs to stop.” Thank God someone who plays said it. Fans have been screaming that for years. And with the Jags turning into a decent team, even that city full of front-runners isn’t going to stand for their owner...

SEC Picks Week 9 – Who Ya Got?

It will be harder to keep myself amused this week, with Auburn, The Evil Empire, and Charlotte all on byes. This is a good day to be out of pocket at a race & culture workshop. My church is hosting one. Let’s see what snarky remarks avail themselves to this week’s...

Post 100 – What’s Your Point?

This is the 100th post of this blog. The viewing stats say only a handful of people actually read this. So what am I doing and why am I doing it? I’ve made several attempts to write regularly over the years, because I think I’m fairly good at it. I can be...

NFL – What We Learned, Week 7

Short leashes – There are several coaches who look like they are in over their heads, with space cadet front offices that don’t understand the economic concept of sunk costs. Chief among these are Bruce Arians (Arizona), Bob McAdoo (Giants), Hue Jackson (Cleveland)...

Fake News? Fake Universe

Stupidity at its finest is on display. University of Florida football coach Jim McElwain says that as a result of his team’s slow start (3-3 overall, 3-2 in the Southeastern Conference), players, assistant coaches, he, and their family members have received death...

SEC – What We Learned, Week 8

Notre Dame is a contender. I hate Notre Dame, so that’s a bad thing. With UGA likely cruising to an undefeated regular season, ND losing to them keeps looking better. I expect them to lose when they play at Miami, but if they manage to pull that one out, they might...

NFL Picks Week 7 – Who Ya Got?

These games get curious-er and curious-er. I have now picked more games wrong than I have right. All this parity creates a fertile ground for conspiracy theories. I posted one on Twitter during last Sunday’s games. “Are NFL games fixed? Well, they do manage to go to...

SEC Picks Week 8 – Who Ya Got?

Little-known fact (at least to me): There is an early signing period in December for recruits to sign letters-of-intent. Word is that Rocky Bottom has no interest in a coaching change before season’s end, fearing it would wreck the start of the signing of their class....

My thoughts on “Me Too”

A warning to my Christian friends – there will be a few “non-Christian” words in this post. You’ll understand why. As wave after wave of victims of the trash heap Harvey Weinstein continue to come forward, countless women on social media are posting “Me Too” to...
