Third Anniversary

29-Dec-06

Completely missed it, but the website and it’s blog has celebrated three years, on December 4th that is. Nothing else, carry on. Happy New Year!

Oh, the irony…

28-Dec-06

During my lunch break (I’m taking those now) I tend to browse Yahoo Answers. It’s a Q & A site, where you can post questions, or answers. I’m fairly adept, I think. I just found it ironic, and a sad testimony at that, of my answer to a question, versus an answer posted below mine. [...]

Happy Holidays!

26-Dec-06

Since the holidays rolled around, I decided to forgo the usual PC using and simply didn’t turn it on for the weekend. It’s nice to get away from technology. As you know, this wass Lisa’s and my last Christmas together alone. After this year, and for the next decade (or two) our Christmas will no [...]

Four Days

21-Dec-06

It’s chaotic in our household, as is everyone’s across the U.S. It’s christmas! Or almost is christmas. Four days! I can’t believe how quickly the year has progressed, and how much has transpired over the last year. — Final thoughts on A.I. – well, he’s off and gone, and he can’t wait to play with [...]

CINY&OSS: The Nintendo Wii

20-Dec-06

So after standing in line for nearly three hours when I could’ve been sleeping, was it worth it? Yes, absolutely. As a video game console, it has the unique talent of being open to anyone to pick up and master quickly. Case in point – in Wii bowling, Lisa bowled a 136 her first time, [...]

Top 10 Allen Iverson Plays A tribute video to A.I.’s killer crossover, lauded as the best in the league.

Christmas in New York and Other Short Stories

18-Dec-06

We had a wonderful weekend in New York. The main impetus for going was to see the Nutcracker, and it turned into a long weekend for us to enjoy shopping in New York, and each others’ company. Of course, no entry is good without pictures – pictures below!. We went off with Mare and Michael [...]

Back to Reality

14-Dec-06

So, no A.I. trade happened and it’s Thursday. If anything happens, I’ll get back to it. I would to speak about something else for the moment. Many years ago, a very close family friend, my aunt, suffered a stroke. To demonstrate how close she was to our family, when she was in and out of [...]

A.I. Trade

13-Dec-06

I believe this will the last article I will post on this until A.I. is traded. With Billy King at the helm, worst GM next to Isiah Thomas, there’s no idea how deep into a crevice the Sixers are going to fall. Don’t Question the Answer, by Bill Simmons. — There appears to be a [...]

Allen Iverson set to be traded

09-Dec-06

It’s almost a done deal. The first round draft pick of the sixers eleven years ago is frustrated with the situation in Philadelphia, and the upper management are frustrated with him. Seven hundred seventy four articles on his possible trade here. Possible destinations for the perennial all-star here. My choice is Minnesota so he can [...]
