There have been a few changes around here, hopefully to make the blog a little more informative. In case you haven't looked recently, the My Representatives page has been updated to reflect my fine new Senator Ralph Northam. I put up that picture on January 9 😉 I've recently added to my sidebar a video … Continue reading Blog updates

Giants unexpected win
I thought the game would be close, but I expected the Green Bay Packers to pull it out. A three-point win by the New York Giants sends them to the Super Bowl against the undefeated New England Patriots. Talk about a game I will have little interest in 😦 I'm a fan of neither team … Continue reading Giants unexpected win
NFL trivia
Two of today's four starting quarterbacks in the AFC and NFC championship games were originally drafted by the the team of the other. Name the quarterbacks, the team that originally drafted them, and the year they were drafted. First one with the correct answer wins 🙂
3rd Thursday means Norfolk Drinking Liberally
Join the folks gathered upstairs at The New Belmont from 5pm to 7pm tonight for the Norfolk chapter of Drinking Liberally. As always, drinking is optional. And bring a friend. I'm going to try to make it but this might be my last one for a while. Tax season, ya know 😦
It’s back!
American Idol, that is. My winter entertainment. This season's opening show is halfway over as I write this. The first stop on the Idol audition tour is Philadelphia. They have picked up a couple of really good singers. And suffered through some pretty horrible ones. Of course, these early shows are more about the latter … Continue reading It’s back!
So who’s going to win the Super Bowl?
Well, I'll make that pick next week 🙂 In the meantime, let's take a look at this weekend's matchups. On the AFC side, we have the New England Patriots playing at home against the San Diego Chargers. I really had hopes that the Colts were going to be playing in this game, since I think … Continue reading So who’s going to win the Super Bowl?
Watching from the couch
That's where the Cowboys will be next week after losing to the Giants 21-17. 😆 My favorite team? The Washington Redskins and whoever is playing against the Cowboys 😉
Say it ain’t so, Joe
Joe Gibbs will resign as head coach of the Washington Redskins today. Despite all of the ups and downs of his latest tenure with the team, I have always thought Gibbs brought an intangible to the team that other coaches did not. And given Dan Snyder's picks for coaches (and players) over the years of … Continue reading Say it ain’t so, Joe
What university are you?
You're the University of Washington! A visionary for your area, you truly can see it all. At the same time, you used to be prone to burning out and trying to do it all. You have to remember that you're just one person, and can't be responsible for a whole community. But this is a … Continue reading What university are you?
Solid protection
I got this via email and just had to share 😉 These men are installing and setting solid steel pillars in concrete to stop vehicles from parking on the pavement outside a sports bar in downtown Norman, Oklahoma. They're cleaning up at the end of the day. How long do you think it'll be before … Continue reading Solid protection
