Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on...
Does anybody know what we are living for?

Queen:  "The Show Must Go On"

I have not posted on this grossly neglected blog for quite some time now.  Today, though, is my best friend Paul's birthday.  He would be thirty-seven today.  It is also his son' ( Read more... )

My wife, my oldest son and I had the pleasure of watching the Cleveland Indians spank the Kansas City Royals soundly and in person on Saturday night.

We always try to attend at least one game every season, and the tickets that were purchased by my wife for my birthday were awesome.  We were in the lower section just behind the Indians' dugout, and ( Read more... )

After reeling from the loss of Victor Martinez in yet another bonehead trade compliments of Dolan and Shapiro, I settled down to reassess the season.  Now...  I don't think things look half bad.  Gimenez, Crowe, and Masterson proved themselves worthy players in the sound spanking of the Central Division leading Detroit Tigers.  I was admittedly ( Read more... )

There's been much debate as of late over President Obama's proposed plan for health care reform.  I have heard all sorts of criticism ranging from indictments of too much big government, to the plan's proposal being unrealistic, to the timeworn and ignorant accusations of socialism (and socialism is bad because...?)
