I took Henry back to the vet. Twice. The first time, they
couldn't take him as they were too busy, so I went back
mid-afternoon. Two people looked him over and pronounced him well
on his way to recovery. They s…
Well, I was largely right about the Tennessee - Rutgers game last
night. I said it would likely be low scoring and that Rutgers'
ferocious defense would be difficult to overcome. Indeed, UT was
up by six at the h…
Well, Jen's mom and her friend Susan arrived yesterday around
2pm. We got them settled, then took them to the beach. It
was very windy and somewhat chilly at the beach. Then we all went
to Marsh Point for cockta…
Wow, those basketball games yesterday were pretty unreal!
Particularly Kentucky losing in double overtime. I was sad to see
them lose, as I wanted an SEC team in the Final Four, but it was a hell
of a game. And …
Boy, those NCAA men's games yesterday were something. There's no
way either team that won, should have. Louisville came from 20
down to win in overtime, and Illinois came from 15 down with four
minutes left to wi…
Jen and I went to Marsh Point last night and played trivia for
awhile. We did pretty well, winning all but one game at the
bar. I finished 64th in the nation in one game. After
trivia, we went to see Miss Congen…
Big news:
Dana Altman is a top candidate to take over at Tennessee, the Nashville Tennessean reported in Wednesday's editions.
The

VH1 Classic's show The Alternative was great last night. They
started off with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, followed by The Cure,
Depeche Mode, The Mission UK, Marc Almond, and a few others, finishing
with Erasure. …
UT beat Purdue 75-54 last night to go 28-4 and give coach Pat Summit
her 880th victory, moving her past Dean Smith into first place all time
in NCAA coaching victories! Great game, our defense in the second
half w…
My friend Jilly
passed me the stick:
· You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which
book do you want to be? THE STRANGER,
by Albert Camus.
· Have you ever had a crush on a fictional
character…
Just got back from a meeting at State Farm about life insurance.
It's a nice thing to have, but I'm not convinced we can afford it right
now. Maybe in the fall.... I got some web-based quotes before I
went in and…
Well, yesterday's NCAA basketball action was just plain exciting!
I thought it was big when UW-Milwaukee beat Boston College, but the
night's last game was spectacular. West Virginia went into two
overtimes to ta…
The bris. Well, the bris was interesting, if not nearly
enjoyable! The mohel (I always thought it was "moil") came from
St. Augustine up to St. Marys with his wife. They got lost and
were a little late, but afte…

For re-upping with a 12 month lease for our apartment, we got a free
carpet cleaning. He was supposed to come at 1pm today, but a
knock on the door surprised me at 11, and it was him. So, now the
carpet is clean.…
Last night, we played trivia at Marsh Point for FIVE hours! And I
won every game except one. Actually, we (okay, actually Jen)
spent a great deal of time talking to one of our bartenders, T. T
was off the clock …
So the University of Tennessee took my advice (heh heh) and fired it's
men's basketball head coach, Buzz Peterson. Sure, he was a nice
guy, but a nice guy with a 61-59 record. He didn't recruit well,
he sure didn…
Jen and I finally went to see Million Dollar Baby last night. It
was a compelling film, but I can see why some groups are raising a
stink over the ending. It's a real dilemma, that. I want to
go see Be Cool, but…
Well, last night's game between Tennessee and Kentucky was a
disaster. A 76-62 disaster. Leaving UT with a 14-17 record,
and the coach with a UT record of 61-59, pretty bad if you ask
me. I talked with mom this …
Henry is so frisky. Too frisky, sometimes. But he's brought
out new life in Rocky. They play together, run after each other,
bat each other around like little furry boxers. However, it's
nearly time for Henry t…
Yesterday was pretty much a wasted day for me. A big F*$#ing
wasted day. In the morning, I drove into town to go to Staples
for some ink for my printer. And I noticed some software called
Norton Internet Securit…
There's a really fascinating article about Bukowski
in the New Yorker. I'd encourage everyone to read it.
Speaking of Buk, I'm reading Post Office, hopefully again. When I
say "hopefully again," it means I hones…
Today is bill paying day. I look forward to AND hate bill paying
day! It's good to get them out the door, but it's a total pain in
the ass. Well, this morning I went to the bank and then went
grocery shopping. …
Sorry about not blogging yesterday. I just didn't feel up for
it. I think that was the first day I've missed in many months....
We watched a quirky little flick yesterday -- I Heart Huckabees.
I enjoyed it, …
Jen called me from school yesterday and asked if we could go to Ziggy's
last night for shagging lessons (that's a form of dance, not what you
perverts are thinking!). So, we went. Only to find out,
they don't giv…
Oh no! Bad news! I was a Marsh Point yesterday, playing
trivia, when Brian, one of the owners, came in and showed me a
document. It was a bill, recently passed by the Georgia State
Senate and now on its way to t…
There's an interview with me and a review of CELLS up at Wild Child's web site.
Thank you WC folks (especially Allison) for doing this. Speaking
of CELLS, it's plugging along in the sales department. I hope and

Question: do I need to file taxes this year? I didn't work
last year at all. I was a full time graduate student. But I
