Hey! Check it out. I broke my first board at karate last night. With my elbow. Woot! Why was I breaking boards with my elbow? Because I’m practicing tameshiwari for the Thousand Waves Spirit Challenge. What is the Spirit Challenge, you ask? It’s a fundraiser that helps the Thousand Waves Seido karate dojo continue its [...]
We survived the MS Tour de Farms! So it rained the entire first day…so there were massive headwinds the entire second day…whatever! We powered through it and now we’re sore and tired – but victorious! Photos here. P.S. We also survived our disgusting Travelodge room in Dekalb. Seriously. Don’t stay there.

There shouldn’t be a championship game or series without [...]
I must comment on the trade of Sosa to The Orioles. This one threw me for a loop. I really never expected the O’s to pick up the Cub who has fallen so far from his glory days when he and Mark McGwire were chasing Roger Maris’ homerun record…and I am a life-long Baltimore Orioles [...]
UPDATE: I’m only an occasional baseball fan. And when I do follow the game – it’s mostly for the Os. So, why do I give a hoot about this year’s ALCS thing? What makes me care about Boston? I’ve never even been to Boston. Four words: I hate the Yankees. Overpaid, arrogant, spotlight-hogging SOBs. So, [...]
I am been rooting for the Red Sox throughout the ALCS. With the addition of the Wild Card team in the playoffs, the Red Sox and Yankees again have the opportunity to play one another in the pennant race. I believe that the Wild Card concept is fair, as the American League East has been [...]
