Tonight's post category comes from my stomach. As a good American, fast food has comprised an unhealthy percentage of my diet since I was young. I have eaten at almost every fast food place you can think of and, over the course of the years, I have developed a list

Part 6: The Fellows of Delicacy and No Delicacy October 31, 2022 - Heathrow Airport, London, UK At least it was going to be a pleasant plane ride home, and he was able to get Mother those duty-free chocolates she loved so much. That was what Nathaniel Hackett was thinking as he settled

Tonight's post category comes from our generous Italian friend, 2Pack. He suggested this category in last week's thread and I think it's a very good one. I have been very lucky to have been given some very good advice that has carried me through difficult patches in my life

Part 5: The Best of Times ABC had done the right thing in lobbying for this game to be on Monday Night. They were so confident of their viewership totals that they eschewed their normal opening night doubleheader in favor of building up this game into must-watch TV. Plus, they had

As I think I may have mentioned in the past, I'm on a thing at work where I HAVE TO take vacation days each month due to a vacation cap. If I don't use them, I stop accumulating vacation time and I don't trust stupid HR people to remember to

Saturday Night Open Thread: My Top Five…. Obscure Archer Objects

I still watch Archer and I still enjoy the new episodes. Some (okay, many!) have said that the series has jumped the shark. Opinions differ on when exactly that happened. Some argue that it happened when they left New York. Some argue that it happened when Archer went into a

Part 4: The Training Camps The Broncos sure did a whole lot of nothing in the Draft. Oh sure, they had nine picks, but even the second-rounder they got from the Rams was at the end of that round so it felt like a third-rounder. The sunshine take was that that

As you may or may not have noticed, there was no Balls Magazine last week. The reason for that is that I haven't had the time to get out onto the course or the driving range. That all changes today as my local golf club just had its third tourney of

Part 3: The Trade March 9 - Engelwood, Colorado “Well, I think I just landed my Manning!” George Paton seemed extremely proud of himself. He'd scanned the draft projections, and they had shown there wasn’t a projected right-now starter among the bunch, so he knew he had to do something. It didn’t help that

Part 2: The Rumors February 2022 - Renton, Washington The phone never stops ringing these days at the Seahawks HQ in Renton. The thing about an open secret is that, like an open marriage, there’s always someone about checking out your partner. Russell Wilson had an amazing run as Seahawks quarterback. From winning

As you may or may not know, the West Coast has been hit with a lot of rain this winter. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for it and I want more to tell you the truth. We desperately need it. The only thing is that it interferes with playing golf.
