Looks like most follks are getting their picks in order for the Madness to begin. Just a quick reminder that the Men’s bracket closes at @ noontime tomorrow … women’s same time on Friday. Are you ready with your picks? Me – I keep changing mine whenever I have a free moment … that’s how [...]
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 [...]
So UConn survived a small first-half scare from Notre Dame and are now set to face West Virginia in the Big East Final tonight (7PM ET). They also secured their 71st straight victory – eclipsing the streak that ended in 2003. It’s kind scary to think about how long this might go on …
Pia has [...]
Been awhile! I think I’m heading toward a not-every-day schedule here – or at least, let’s say a less predictable schedule. We’ll see how it goes.
In the meantime, life goes on, the days lengthen, snow falls and melts, and who should be reappearing on the landscape but Mitt Romney! He’s starting to make the rounds, [...]
Here are some Tweets from that a BigSoccer poster compiled and shared … hopeful signs for the upcoming Breakers schedule (IMHO):
2010 Breakers schedule preview: expect two Boston area visits by Marta again this year, only with Gold Pride this time around.
2010 Breakers schedule preview: expect us to experiment with a couple (likely two) Friday night [...]
Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
I was going to write about the WPS’ Sol Dispersal Draft (Boxxy went first, and Marta moved up the coast) and especially how the Breakers fared … but I had a comment by a guy named Noah on my post about Obama at the Georgetown-Duke game … and just felt like I wanted to focus [...]
Sad news (I was too obsessed with John and Liz to pick this up when it first came out) .. the LA Sol have folded. You probably heard it from Boltgirl first! (I heard via an e-mail at work from a friend.)
At first I was horrified on hearing it — PTSD from old WUSA days. [...]
If you go to the site of any WPS team these days you’re likely to see a counter displaying the days, hours, and minutes before opening day. We’re something like three months away, with a bit of March Madness in between, but with the days getting longer, you can definitely feel the soccer in the [...]
While I wait for the Eagles’ decisive defeat of the Cowboys tonight to get underway, I thought I’d do a little catching up on the WPS front.
The 2010 season gets underway in April. The Breakers’ home opener is Sundat, 4/18 at 6PM against the Philly Independence – who’ll be bringing Heather Mitts, Kelly Schmedes, Sue [...]
Read Naomi Wolf’s thorough and absolutely horrific article about the sexual perversity perpetrated by the Bushies in Iraq and elsewhere. I do not understand why Obama is rationalizing and temporizing about releasing the photos and really going after these sadomasochistic pricks.
The activities of these dudes so speaks to the fruits of the kind of self-righteousness [...]

Well, there is big news on the WPS front with the firing of Ian Sawyers as the FC sky blue coach. Should be interesting to watch Sunday’s game as FC sky blue versus the Breakers is the match being televised on Fox soccer Channel at 6 PM.
I think I remember that Mr. Sawyers has had [...]
Yahoo … RPE is home!
Kudos to Obama on an excellent (and politically astute) choice.
I do not like Giant Forest Hogs (think Rush Limbaugh).
Nor do I like the Black Mamba Snake (think … hmmm … Mitt Romney?)
RPE will have to tell the tale(s).
I DO like Safari Lager … will have to see if HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew [...]
All I can say is Yahoo! Today’s the day that RPE comes home … landing at Logan this afternoon after logging lots of hours in the sky. She’ll be home and telling stories by dinnertime if everything goes according to schedule. (Did I say Yahoo??!!)
Also yahoo-worthy was the USWNT’s defeat of Canada last night — [...]
It’s finally Friday, and after work today I’ll be driving over Hogback to HollyCornblog’s house! She says she’ll have the chiminea going and some homebrews ready for sampling when I get there!
In soccer news I see that, apparently, a share of the LA Sol is going to be up for grabs soon. Any buyers? Any [...]
That’s not a typo – but I’m morose as well, after Rebecca Moros scored for the Freedom against the Breakers, and all the blue team could come up with was a tie in yesterday’s match. I am sure that they wanted to pull off the win against the Abby-less Freedom … and with Maren Meinert [...]
Okay so I do, I really do want to be rooting for Obama — but what’s with this latest appointment? GE’s defender on environmental issues, Ignacia Moreno, has been hired to do the legal stuff for EPA? How did Obama explained this decision, I’m wondering. It kind of gives me a weird feeling in my stomach. [...]
Yup – it’s a busy day in Canterbury, with lots of computer work on tap, as well as some growing grass to catch up with, a bike to get to the bike shop, maybe even a little bit of exercise (other than mowing) and reading to squeeze in along the way. (Hah!)
Here’s the WPS preview [...]
