I have two hours between the start of my abbreviated Thursday night shift and the annual Holiday Party (not Christmas, Holiday). This'll give me two hours away from the office before returning to answer calls from angry coaches. Of course, there's not one drop of alcohol in this equation, which will make the two hours at the party nearly impossible to get through. So, here's a few more examples of the good life some people have on this glorious December day: • A H
You'll have to excuse me for being slightly cynical, but I'm still mourning Ireland's dismissal at the " HANDS " of Thierry Henry and France. Maybe when the tournament gets closer to starting I'll get my interest up, but for now, I'm going to stick to the NFL and the English Premier League.
My column from Sunday’s game. It’ll go into Monday afternoon’s paper, but I wanted to get it out here a little earlier… SEATTLE — The spirit of giving was in full display on Sunday. Seattle allowed its visitors the entire first quarter to take over the game, but San Francisco returned the favor with timely turnovers and misplays to give the game and the victory back to the hosts. The last gift by the 49ers gave the Seahawks t

Chuck, True point. No one should care, but we live in a hyper-tabloid age where more people than us love this shit. It is just amazing that people are now talking about him as a real person when he's been one, albet a very private one, all along. Rob
It has been a tough 72 hours for Tiger Woods, whose dirty laundry was tossed into the wind storm created by the lowest-common denominator media (aka TMZ). Reading through the commentary over the past 24 hours on Woods, the aftermath and the apology, the consensus theory is that he's human. Really. It took this fucking long for people to realize that Tiger Woods - the golfer, the icon, the video game avatar - is human? As if his knee injury-riddled victory in the U.S. Open didn't prove
It used to be a yearly rite of passage, one that got you out of school (sometimes) and one that everyone endured as they grew up. The trip to the dentist. Between my experiences in the chair and what my daughter went through today, I believe she’s going to have a little easier time going and getting checked up than I did. Even for a small spot filling on a very small cavity spot, she survived it with little trama and pain. I, however, remember all too fondly of my pain a
Thanks, B.F.D. I think Elin did some major damage that night, absolutely.
Someone had a pretty good weekend: As I’m typing this, I’m on hold at Electronic Arts (EA), trying to check up on a game order. There are Websites that are easy to navigate. EA Store’s isn’t one of those, especially when you want to q
Let me add myself to the bad decisions list here... I waited more than a half hour on the phone for an operator at EA Store/Sports to tell me that they can't find my online order. FML...
There’s been a few lately. • Tiger Woods. Didn’t talk to the police, released a statement that clarified nothing and will sit out his own golf tournament. If you are going to mess around on your wife and flee at 2:30 a.m., make sure you don’t hit anything. And there’s something really funny about the fact that his wife, Elin Nordegren, used a golf club to help him get out. Explain
Tap here to begin writing... I guess that's appropriate when you're tap, tap, tapping you way through a sentence on an iPhone. I'll get back on the computer soon enough, but the game is on and it is easier to go this way than type, run back to the TV and repeat. Modern convenience right there. ••• There's been several incarnations of this blog, the first one dating back to 2004 and I'v

This was taken from my column, And Now…, in The Daily World, Aberdeen, WA, published April 20. Copyright to The Daily World and me. In Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, the story begins with Alice chasing the white rabbit and embarking upon a magical journey. On Feb. 10, th
Over the past several months, the spectre of steroids has placed a heavy shadow on Major League Baseball and a phantom in the corner of professional sports in the United States. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi — three big-time baseball players whispered about by fans, media, ot
Hello again. Welcome back. Not much going on in this life, just work, house, marriage, stress, money, car troubles, dope dealers across my street, police indifference, political correctness, family, babies, taxes. You know, life. I have a cousin back in Iraq, this time as a private contractor, helping to get that backward country's
I've been a diehard 49ers fan for more than 25 years and yeah, bandwagoners are the worst. I still remember going to my first games at Candlestick Park when they were losing more than 10 games a year. Niners-Rams games — classics. There's a few Niner fans out here on the Wash. coast, but only one or two who lived in the Bay Area and know the history. The rest??? Who cares. I'm still laughing at Namath... "I don't really care about the team right now... I just want to kiss you!!!" Classic.

On television and live, a lot of weird was taking place in the NFL. Five laterals, wide right -- The New Orleans Saints, still clinging onto a playoff berth, broke out a five lateral last-second play to get to within one point of Jacksonville on Sunday. This was a play that was remeniscent of "The Big Play" in 1983 -- five laterals by Cal players to defeat the John Elway-led Stanford team in "The Big Game" in
Drove to Safeway for some groceries, found the place to be packed with a ton of people. I went to the refrigerated dairy section, looking for some cheese when I encounter a mother with three kids. The mother picks up the imitation cheese and puts it into her basket. "Mom, why can't we have this cheese? It tastes better," the oldest, possibly 10 years old, says. "No, we can't afford it," the mother replies. I grab
No formatting on this one. Just a straight post. I've been known for getting into trouble with my wife by asking one simple question: "Hey, what's wrong?" Or better yet: "Are You OK?" Late last week, I asked. And what I got was in to more hot water than I'd care to admit. My wife read my blog. OK, not a big deal, really, but... "I just get the feeling that you won't talk to me," she said. "Why's that," I asked. (UH Oh!) Then she told me that she read my blog about the weddin
Some handy hints from my uncle. (Yes, it is an e-mail, but hey, we can all learn something new each day.) 1. Budweiser beer conditions the hair. 2. Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish. 3. Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 min. 4. Mayonnaise will KILL LICE, it will also condition your hair. 5. Elmer's Glue - paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see the dead skin and blackhe

The mother's story is still untold, unfortunately, and we don't know if we'll get it, either. What is the worst is that the woman had problems and it was well-known that she had problems. And still... But you are right, Abe. There isn't much else to say once you read it and digest it. It took me a while to compose that post, which I do off-line most of the time. This one was hard. No doubt about it. This one was hard.
Unless you are a news junkie or live in the Northwest, you may not know about these two events. Regardless, it has been a tough time out here. On Nov. 28, a 41-year-old woman with a history of strange and violent nature committed suicide in a large park here in Grays Harbor. Before she took her own life by swallowing perscription drugs, she brutally stabbed and killed a 4-year-old boy she was babysitting. Police said
