Congratulations…
Friday, September 30th, 2005…to the Chicago White Sox for clinching the AL Central title yesterday. Unlike many Sox fans, this Cubs fan is capable of recognizing a talented ball club and congratulating said club on an extraordinary season. Would I rather see the Cubs in the playoffs? Of course. But I do not hate the White Sox. After all, they are a Chicago team and I wish them well.

Rita
Wednesday, September 21st, 2005
"Not again," I've been repeating to myself as I watch countless CNN and Weather Channel reports about Hurricane Rita. She's heading towards Texas but one sharp turn and New Orleans could be hit again. Felicia and I ... [Continue reading this entry]

I was supposed to be at that Michigan State / Notre Dame football game in South Bend today, but plans changed and I couldn't bear the thought of staying indoors on a gorgeous day like we had today. So ... [Continue reading this entry]
Kickin’ Irish butt!

My Michigan State Spartans just beat Notre Dame, 44-41. I despise Notre Dame more than any other school on this planet. As far as I'm concerned, MSU doesn't need to win another game all season; it's already a ... [Continue reading this entry]
