Dear Oliver,
Last weekend was tough. Really tough. Three baseball games in three days might just be my limit. I never expected watching my two favorite baseball teams play would be just so darn hard. I wanted everyone to play well. I hoped your improving Pirates would win at least one out of three with my [...]

I almost completed NaBloPoMo for the month. I think I have missed two days. Blargh.
The horrible headache I had yesterday almost returned today. (I teetered on the edge all day today but it didn’t break through. Not sure if this was a migraine, mostly because I’ve never had one, as far as I know. The [...]

I left a few things out when I mentioned the NCAA tournament a few days ago. Back in the day, many moons ago, I won an NCAA basketball pool. Apparently that exhausted any bit of luck I had for the rest of my life. Every year I make my picks and every year I end [...]

It’s that time of year again, when this woman’s thoughts turn to college basketball and March Madness. I hope you will join me and the Draft Day Suit team in our bracket competition. Entry is totally FREE and there are prizes. How cool is that? Added bonus? Getting to make fun of me when my [...]

I’m over at Draft Day Suit today, where we recently celebrated 1000 posts. (I love you guys!)
My topic today is whether I can love the Steelers and loathe quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. I might have included a picture of Mike Tomlin looking very, very nice. Go check it out and weigh in on the (very civilized) [...]

Jeff Bridges, in the entirely forgettable film See You In The Morning, reclines on his sofa with a newspaper, sighs loudly and says, “Thank you God. For sports.” I’m sure that quote isn’t exactly right but the script is impossible to find on-line. YouTube and iTunes searches were also a bust. Anyway, you get the [...]

I’m not the only one still thinking about the Call of Duty ad:

We have one TV in the house, which is usually fine. It’s older, not a flat screen, and not HD, but it works well enough. We have cable. Our VCR died. Our DVD player also bit the dust but we hooked up an old MacBook Pro and that works reasonably well.
What’s missing from this little [...]

Oliver had his last soccer game today. Against parents (myself not included as I was guarding the pizza — don’t ask) but still, end of the season. After my previous bitching I feel the need to point out some good things that came out of it.
Oliver clearly learned some new skills and further developed what [...]

Oliver decided to try soccer this season. And he loves it. He’s also pretty good. Being fast and motivated serves him well, not to mention having a basic grasp of the game.
There are more rules for parents than for the kids. No yelling your kid’s name or any “instructions.” (In our case “Go brown!” is [...]
