I won’t bother blockquoting. ek hornbeck MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN: While confined here in the Birmingham city …

Throwball Playoffs NFC Championship: Packers at @ ‘9ers
Kinda nervous about this one. I have my favorites for a reason and it’s not the 9ers. A Packer win is not impossible. The Seahawks were no slouches and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers didn’t even have to work that hard. The 9ers looked less convincing in their game against a weaker team, the Psychs. …

Throwball Playoffs AFC Championship: Titans @ Chiefs
Hard to believe, but it’s true, there used to be a whole other Throwball League called the American Football League that got swallowed up by the NFL and that’s why we have two Conferences today. I’m in a quandary about whom I hate most, the Titans or the Chiefs. Now it’s important to understand that …

Cartnoon
Or rather a Cartnoon/House hybrid. Doctor! Are you not aware of the prophecy the Hybrid will destroy Galifrey? I am totally aware and I’m not the Doctor. Sundays on BBC if you care. Anyway, my appreciation of Tom Lehrer (91 and quite alive) comes straight from Richard who thought he was as funny as a …

Happy New Beard!
On Cody Johnson I mean. You know, just yesterday I was at my Therapist’s and she remarked that I seemed to be weathering the SAD Season. We meet more frequently during this time and I have fewer life events to report on because outside the Holidays what happens? Coincidently February is fraught and March is …
