Keeping the blog alive. . .

. . . because it hasn’t seen a post since the new year.

That is all.

Happy New Year

Happy new year. Here’s to hoping this year will be better than the last!

Good for the Lions

Anyone that knows me knows I’m a pretty big ‘Skins fan these days. I got back into the sport when Coach Gibbs came back, and have stayed on-board through some pretty lackluster seasons.

Well, I foresee a nasty week in the tri-state area, especially for anyone that listens or sees any kind of broadcast that originates from within the beltway. Honestly, though, maybe they deserve it. There’s too much talent, too much skill, for this team to be squandering the year like this.

Now, granted, it’s only week three. And I seriously doubt we’ll see a major change this week. But Snyder has deep pockets. He’s watching. And he is not patient.

At this point, something needs to change. Something in that ‘Skins locker room is broken. Be it Campbell (which I don’t think is the problem) or Zorn (maybe it is him), something has to change. Maybe it is time. Who knows…

Gonna be a long week in DC. Maybe I should phone in sick Monday.

Random Rant

It’s funny where you draw inspiration from when you write. My little hardbound journals are my best friends, and I’ve gotten a lot written in them in my off hours at work or late at night when inspiration strikes.

I’d like to thank 12 Stones, Amethystium, 10 Years, and some others for their recent contributions to my chosen art.

The Signs of Summer

  • The last frost is finally gone
  • My ditch becomes a moat due to all the spring showers
  • Sneezing and hacked coughing becomes the norm in the office
  • My wife starts marking all the family weddings that are coming up on the calendar
  • This year’s NFL Draft is in the past
  • News rumors of the latest new illness that’s going to kill us all
  • My wife gets the urge to paint SOMETHING in the house
  • New wipers on the car
  • Re-mulching the yard
  • Hear about the latest rumors of Brett Favre un-re-un-re-un-retiring again

They say history is cyclic, after all…
