When I woke up Saturday morning…I won’t say that I wanted to die, but a lengthy hospital stay would’ve been so nice. Instead I poured as much water and Advil as I could into my system and took a long, hot shower. By the time we piled in Debbie’s car and headed for Happy Valley…

In light of my previous post, this is really, really funny. I’d like to say for the record that I’m not wearing a splint, I haven’t taped my finger, and I’m playing volleyball tonight.

I’ve broken three bones in my lifetime. Let’s briefly review the circumstances surrounding each incident: 1988–broke my left pinky playing basketball. Reached in to deny a bounce past into the post, stoved my pinky. Hurt, then hurt worse. Friend scared me into going to the doctor with nightmare scenario where my pinky froze in place….

I’m in the middle of some serious writer’s block, hence the lack of posts. I’m actually not blocked, per se, I just can’t think of anything to write about that won’t be a waste of your time. Write a post about the Presidential campaign? Yeah, there aren’t enough bloggers shrieking about that. Brag about my…

Tonight’s the draft for the Pittsburgh Blogger Fantasy Football league. Last year I finished fourth. One out of the money. Of course. I managed this despite having Reggie Bush AND Philip Rivers AND Travis Henry on my team. Those gentlemen will not darken my door this season…actually, is Travis Henry banned from the league? In…

This past weekend was the tournament for our beach volleyball league. How did we do? Great–we forfeited our opening game.

I didn’t watch the 4×100 relay in real time, but watching it this morning was almost as good. Odd–not so long ago, if you missed a performance like that you’d have to sit in front of the tube hoping and praying they show some highlights. If you wanted to see something a bit more obscure…

Best team won. Hard to argue. Would I trade being a Pens fan to be a Wings fan right now? No way. Next year. Can’t wait for next year. And the years after. If there’s pride in defeat, well, there you go. Let’s go Pens.

Today’s gonna be a tough day, no getting around it. Day 2 of the $1K rebuy event starts at 2pm, and with 106 players left and lots of chips in play I’m thinking we’re gonna be playing into the wee hours. Yesterday was a 14-hour day, today will probably be longer, and God knows what’ll…

What a game. One of the greatest games in Penguin history. The atmosphere in the Arena will be unbelievable. And I have to work Wednesday, it’ll be a Day 2 and I’ll be there until the wee hours. Bad karma, gotta find a way to reverse it. Watching ESPN highlights. Idiots. They’ve misprounouced half the…
