Stinky Cheese

Oh well … guess the Rom[an]o bested the Wisconsin Cheddar.  Hope Favre is okay and can continue his amazing string of consecutive games started.  Guess it’ll have to be left to the Eagles to rope in the Cowboys! 

Go Cheeseheads!

Hey, it’s another Thursday night football game.  Here’s to a nice, decisive spanking of the Cowboys at the hands of the Pack!  It’s time for the high-flying Romo to learn a thing or two from his childhood idol … the equally high-flying Mr. Favre.

These are the tasks that women have […]

And Now It’s November …

The trees are stripped bare, as if the earth has decided to shed all artifice.  Now we can see into the woods.  It seems a shame, and is probably no accident, that this change coincides with the start of hunting season.
I like to think of the change, also, in intrapsychic terms.  What with the shorter […]
