Posted 5 minutes ago
Well, my vacation is almost at an end which means that I will return to my usual low standards of writing here in the next day or so… Yes, I realize that it is a bit disingenuous to celebrate the Gate’s birthday by going on vacation and not posting much of anything for a week. Thankfully, HSH and VolzRChamps have ... [Link]

My Life with Cancer » Hey, Do I Smell Funny?
Posted 52 minutes ago
Thankfully, the "lowered dose" effect seems to be true again, and I am feeling a little better each day. My appetite is slowing returning, and my energy is much improved. My back is still hurting a lot, especially at night, and you know how paranoid I am about my spine. But the recent CT scans showed no growth in the ... [Link]

I offer the following two press releases for comparison.Sabastian River obtains varsity statusCharlotte Catholic obtains varsity statusSo, USA Rugby steps in to provide start up uniforms and equipment for Sabastian River and Catholic just goes about their business of building rugby on their own.

Our recent trip to N. Ga included a trip to the Victorian House Restaurant. They have lots of hats they encourage you to try on, and as you can see we did. Tony was a great sport for me. Everyone in the restaurant said so as well. I think he's so handsome! The food there was spectacular, especially the Lobster ... [Link]

Posted 2 hours ago
I don’t have time to get into all of the reasons that George W. Bush will go down in history as one of the worst Presidents ever, but the Knoxville News Sentinel captured part of it in an editorial today.  His mind boggling deficits. In case you’ve forgotten, we had a surplus (fake though it may have been do to ... [Link]

Effor.com » NFL Fantasy Week 12
Posted 3 hours ago
11 weeks have gone by in the NFL so far this year, and I’m lucky enough to be 11-0 in my 12 team PPR fantasy league.  I don’t know how, because both Steven Jackson and Reggie Bush (my leading scorers through the first 7 weeks) have been out since week 8…. Anyway, our playoffs start next week so just one ... [Link]

Thomas P.M. Barnett :: Weblog » For now, Obama's picks strike me as encouraging
Posted 3 hours ago
Geithner is the Summers' protege, so a pick that's a nod to experience plus a nod to the current crisis, where Geithner gained his greatest national prominence yet. The AZ gov as homeland seems solid enough: outsider, from the front lines, female to boot. Holder is a solid choice, yielding the first African-American AG. If you're going to pull off ... [Link]

Bishop Wrong, famous for his list of the top 50 blogs and the most complete list of biblioblogs is adding a new feature to his list so that it now includes classification by level of activity.

I know I should get over it, but it really gets me when I’m listening to music and someone walks in and says “oh, this sounds like “ It should be less annoying when they don’t know you hate the supposedly similar band, but it never seems to be, and it’s worse when they do know. I guess it’s because ... [Link]
