Well, you knew it had to be coming. The University of Tennessee and its Offensive Coordinator, Randy Sanders, are parting ways. Sanders resigned today, after an unbelievably woeful offensive showing on the part of UT'…
Hey everyone! I'm back from my quick trip to Tennessee!!! I made it through four plane trips, and I'm alive. At the end of the second plane trip, as I was getting off the plane, I -- and everyone else -- could ov…
One comment: I hate Steve Spurrior!
I'm off to Knoxville! Outta here. Cheerio!
It's Day Eight of my Work Marathon. And I've just got a really bad feeling about today, for some reason. *sigh* So, Tennessee star running back Gerald Riggs is not only going to miss Saturday's game against South Caro…
Okay gang, I'm going to fess up. I'm leaving Friday morning to fly off to Knoxville, flying back on Sunday. I have a stopover, naturally, in Atlanta, so that means I have to make FOUR short flights in those three days…
Heh. You should have seen Jen in action last night. Let me backtrack first. Jen told me about a small local retailer close by our place -- close enough to walk there -- with a new job opening. So, Sunday afternoon, s…
Hello. What a wild work weekend! It was crazy-busy at work this weekend, and it's hard to imagine it being that much worse over the holidays (but I'm sure it will be). And I had to get up at 4:30 this morning to be at…
Strange work day. One of our female employees was handcuffed and arrested and led out to a police car in full view of everyone. I don't know why. This is the second or third time this has happened since I've been the…
Today wasn't a bad day at work, to be honest. I'm quite surprised. Of course, I work eight straight days, but oh well. Then, I'm off to Knoxville for the football game. That should be fun. So, get this, Jen is sick …
Hmmm. Last night sure was strange. Surreal, even. And to be honest, I'm a tad bit disappointed with Jen right now. That's all I'm going to say about it. Whatever the case, I'm in a bad mood. Great. Hurricane Wilm…
Hello. I have today off. Yay! I still had to get up earlier than I prefer, though, because of my bloodwork appointment. So, I went. Now, I hate these things, you must understand. I always have to look away, becaus…
So, my Pittsburgh Steelers played a tough one yesterday. Our starting quarterback was out with an injury, so the backup played, Tommy Maddox. And man, did he suck! Nonetheless, even with all of his horrid pass attemp…
Wow. I sure missed an exciting day of college football yesterday while I was at work. I'm a little bummed about it too. I'm sure that everyone knows by now that USC scored with 7 seconds left in the game to beat Notr…
Hi everyone! Happy weekend! I had today off, and planned on sleeping in. That plan was undone when, at 8am, large knocks on the door were to be heard. Followed by the door being opened by men come to change out the A…
Hmmm. rodhk brought up an interesting fact I had not considered in my watch purchase. All of my watches have leather bands. That's for a reason. When I was younger, I wore watches with links -- gold or silver or ste…
I like watches. I have about five or six, myself. One is a UT watch, one says "Why Must I Die" on its face, one is a Belgian Tin Tin watch, one is a Soviet watch, one a Fossil, and so on and so forth. Well, I wear on…
Funny work story: I started out with this guy at work named Madison. Older fellow, very quiet (it's always the quiet ones, isn't it?), always wore a hat, worked in Hardware. I worked with him on several occasions and…
It's official. We suck. UT, that is. Tennessee just lost to Georgia at home, 27-14. And I'm disgusted, frankly. I am not convinced they really outplayed us. Total yards were nearly even, time of possession was nea…
Well, the past two days have been interesting, to say the least. Long story short, I had a horrible night at work last night, a horrible morning at work today, yet a decent afternoon at work today. Oh yeah, remember my…
Bad family news: My dad has a thyroid problem. They don't know if it's serious or not, but his throat has swollen up to the size of a grapefruit and he was in the hospital yesterday. I hope they find out something (g…
Today is my last day home sick. Tomorrow I return to work. And, boy, has the weather been nasty! Makes ya want to stay inside. Jen is actually home sick today, herself. I hope she gets better very soon. Luv ya baby…
Nasty, stormy weather. Yuck! It's supposed to be like this for a long time too. Mega-stormy. Hey, I reached a blog milestone. My hit counter topped 20,000! Thanks, everyone, for stopping by over the last year and …
Hey, all! I just got back from my doctor. He's putting me on a different anti-seizure medication. I've been taking Propanalol for years, to combat the trembling in my hands and arms that years of taking Lithium have …
LA Expert You scored 90 Angelenos! Very impressive; you are in the highest category of LA knowledge. You have obviously spent a good percentage of your life sitting in traffic, but you are still happy knowing tha…
My friend Marcy lives in the greater Pasadena area, about a mile from her job at EarthLink, where she and I worked together for a number of years. (I lived in Glendale, though.) She's got a sweet little apartment, but …
Well, some of you folks were right. I DO have food poisoning! I went in to work this morning feeling horrible and I basically left around 1pm, telling them I was going to go to a walk in clinic. Which I did. They did…
