More About Football.
I took Thursday off. I am taking a comp day for working over the weekend. On Thursday at 10:00 AM EST the USA plays Ghana in their third World Cup game. If the USA wins that game and Italy wins their game, we advance to round two. It’s going to be a heckuva day. Here’s…

Having Stinky Feet Finally Paid Off.
Tobyjoe and I went to Paragon Sports at Union Square on Thursday to pick up a mitt and some running gear. I was seduced by Prana and this shirt while we were there. I discovered a new brand as well. (I also discovered that I went down an entire pant size. Granted, I don’t seem…

Even Cheaper If You Steal Them.
WalMart made the news again. Someone has been stealing copies of Cheaper By The Dozen from WalMart stores in Beckley, MacArthur, Summersville, Lewisburg and neighboring Virginia. 270 copies of the film have been swiped. The perps are still at large. “A man and woman were captured by video surveillance that showed the pair entering the…

England Vs. Trinidad
Somewhere along the line I picked up a crush on Hislop, the goalie for Trinidad and Tobago. And I found myself rooting for them the entire time I was at the gym watching the first half of their second game. They have a decent defense, which is how they fought off Sweden but their offense…

If You Can Hear This, You’re a Spring Chicken.
I’m a little late getting to this post because, well, yesterday I spent most of my free time trying to figure out a way to watch the USA play their first game in the World Cup. Too bad they lost. Anyway, I read an article yesterday that really piqued my interest. At first, I didn’t…

A Sporting Event Where the Word “World” Means More Than Just The United States.
We have been diligently following the World Cup this year. Yesterday, we spent several hours at a local brunch spot where we watched Trinidad tie with Sweden, England win after Paraguay’s captian Carlos Gamarra headed in an own-goal, and Argentina beat the Ivory Coast, which was a must-see game. I rooted for the Ivory Coast.…

Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby.
I received an email from someone yesterday that had me thinking. I know them personally but I won’t say who wrote it. In fact, I’d like to keep most of this post as private (for everyone) as possible. They posed a question that I thought might be interesting to post here. They asked me how…

Homeless Man Arrested in Connection with the Greenpoint Fire
Police have arrested a homeless man in connection with the Greenpoint warehouse fires that took place back in May. I guess it wasn’t Guttman after all. (Thanks to Brad for the information.)
