I like Rush Limbaugh, although I haven't listened to his show in years. Still, I tend to read news articles about him, and you're probably aware of the fuss there was this week because of what he said on "Sunday NFL Countdown:" "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been... read more »

Law & Order's in good form. Last night's episode had some interesting discussion about whether affirmative action stigmatizes blacks. This entry was written in part while under the influence of "Super Trouper" by ABBA, off the Gold: Greatest Hits album.

Watched the season premiere of Angel last night. I was wondering how they were going to handle bringing Spike onto the show, and once they did it, in retrospect it should have been obvious how they were going to do it. Despite the cast changes, it looks like the show is going to be as good as ever. This entry... read more »

Well, I'm blogging wirelessly from The Parents'TM house again. Monday Night football is irrelevant again for me, but this time it's because Jonathan's team already beat me. We got the HDTV signal working properly, so it's 61 inches of highly-detailed football.

My cousin Scott and I have a little wager over this game. He's pessimistic about BYU, and so he says they will lose by at least twelve. I'm optimistic, because I think our defense will do a good job of containing Air Force's running attack. (Because Air Force's option attack is meant to work by spreading the defense and getting... read more »

I got to spend some time with my six-month-old nephew David this evening. He is so cute; even though he was a little bit fussy at times, most of the time it was easy enough to get him to smile, and except for the time he was hungry he quieted down pretty quickly if I would hold him and sort... read more »

Because on the last play of the game, when they already had the game won, Air Force scored a touchdown to widen their margin of victory. This entry was written in part while under the influence of "The Story of a Young Heart" by A Flock of Seagulls, off the The Best of A Flock of Seagull album.
