Last week was a little disappointing, even though I got 2 out of 3 stone cold locks correct. I was really looking forward to a 4-0 week, and if a couple plays went the other way it probably would have happened. Tampa Bay and Green Bay turned out to be very solid picks, but the [...]
Music and Movie Tuesdays…And TV Shows too! (on Wednesday)
Faithful readers, you may be wondering why Music and Movie Tuesdays has been moved to Wednesday this week. To continue the focus on debates and politics, we are posting on the day of the final presidential debate. To my mind, no TV show, or even movie, captures the excitement (and occasional non-excitement) of campaigns and [...]
Happy Birthday, Paddington
If everyone has their own special branch of geeky to them–tech and gadgets, designer handbags, reality TV, music, Martha Stewart– books happen to be mine. Be it a really cool new book like Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard or Flannery O’Connor, books are my geeky pleasure.

Because two of my favorite shows, 30 Rock and The Office, were not shown that night in favor of the debates. [...]
Talking Like A Pirate
A while back, like many others around the world, I talked like a pirate. On Thursday, a coworker informed me that tomorrow, September 19th, was International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
