As the rain pelts and the wind howls outside, I’m on my second cup of coffee, contemplating a blank screen and toying with the idea of writing something really silly.
JordanCornblog has been feeling rather rudderless of late. (Talking about the blog here, not the actual person.) Being “ruddered” was never what I’d call a strong [...]
I just sent out my initial March Madness e-mail … as the excitement builds. We had some blog readers participate last year … so be sure to be in touch if you’re interested again and I haven’t contacted you!
I am mulling my post about anger … need to set aside some time for [...]
First off, “Thanks be to Beeg,” (as we like to say in these here parts) for sharing HoopFeed with me. If you’re on Twitter and interested in Women’s B-ball, you’ll want to follow. (And for some of you guys, it may make it worthwhile to get onto Twitter – it’s got great info!) This’ll be [...]
Thanks, AMR, for the link to this very special bracket! (I must say I’m a bit disappointed to see that he didn’t also complete a bracket on the women’s side. There’s still time, Mr. President!)
I am also trying to figure out if there is any way to get his picks into our pool here … [...]

As you gear up for March Madness, check out this great women’s basketball time-line – from Helen Wheelock of Women’sBasketballOnline.com.
Looking at the time-line that runs through the ’70’s makes me feel a whole lot better about losing to the West Chester State freshman team year after year after year.
And check out this article by Senda [...]
Congratulations to the Twin Valley Flyers Peewee Hockey Team on winning the NH State Championship yesterday afternoon, defeating Back Bay in OT to take the trophy. (And it was our own Mo, of March Madness fame, who tipped in the winning goal!) Well done, Flyers – and thanks for an exciting weekend of great hockey [...]
That’s how Michael Steele has described the Republican Party. I agree that muck is a great way to describe a medium comprised of the detritus of right wing preachers, radio hacks, and turdblossoms. But it doesn’t seem wise for a party that is struggling mightily to find its identity, should choose as its cheerleader-in-chief, someone [...]
Phew – I feel like it’s been a long time since I sat down with some good strong coffee and just caught up here.
There’s lots of news in the soccer world as the WPS season kick-off is just weeks away! March 29th, to be exact. (I should probably think about taking a day or two [...]
First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
This time last week I was waking up at HollyCornblog’s and getting ready to drive east over Hogback to NH. This morning I am shivering at my window as a bright orange sun rises (but doesn’t yet share any warmth with this chilly planet). It’s Ethan Frome weather, for sure … gotta get me some [...]
The men are at theSweet Sixteen stage, meaning we can take a small breather (’til Thursday) and focus on the women’s games, as they work their way down to sixteen. After tomorrow, our friend Alice will be checking her brackets from Paris. She promises to be in touch with JordanCornblog from the internet cafes that we [...]
There’s March Madness, and then there’s the REAL madness of Dick Cheney singing Amazing Grace in Israel while plodding along, building his case for attacking Iran. Meanwhile, on a happier note, it sounds like Obama’s speech this past week may inform some sermons today … and hopefully eventually help raise our racial dialogue and political [...]
Day two brought more of the upsets that some of us love … and some of us hate … prompting me to share this sonnet (Shakespeare’s #147) that speaks to the predicament of the bracket-obsessed … past cure and frantic-mad with evermore unrest! (I think he may have been writing, with great prescience, as a [...]
I’m a little late getting on board with JordanCornblog this morning, as I’ve been wrestling with my Excel Bracket Sheet since the wee hours. All set now! We’re ready to roll with the men’s bracket … and just waiting to get the Women’s teams set and then off we go!
I’ve not thought about writing anything [...]
We’ve got Conant vs. Campbell the NHIAA Class M Girls’ Basketball Final this evening (and after tomorrow’s post, my friend CB won’t have to hear about this particular sporting event any longer). My money’s on Campbell tonight … a young program on an improbable run! After tonight, on the sporting front, we’ll be shifting gear to the Algarve. [...]
Nothing yet on the Australia front …
Oh No! I see that the Belmont High Girls Basketball team lost to Franklin High by two points – after soundly beating a top team in their class (Mascoma) on Monday. Wonder what happened. (This will be of absolutely no interest to people outside of Central New Hampshire – and even [...]
