You tell the whole damn world...

Many thanks and much love goes out to Kyle, Robin, Nate, Kim, Matt & Suzanne for their wonderful, double pronged care package. Notice that in my rush to hang the sign, I didn't even bother to take down the stuff that was already on the wall of my office--that's how excited I was.

I think the sign might have been intended for my hooch (which is still rather dominated by Duke and Redskins stuff). But I really think that this was something that had to be displayed for all the world to see...or at least the portion of the world who wonders into my office from time to time.

USO Tour Awesomeness

Peter King shows how good a sport he is about certain NFL players who may or may not have unjustly waited nearly a decade to be inducted into Canton. I was the only soldier who came prepared w/ a sign, and was second in obnoxiousness only to the angry Bears fan who demanded that Tommie Harris call out Rex Grossman as the spawn of Satan.**

I got to expound upon my theory of "stats relative to era" for about 30 seconds before Mr. King politely shook my hand and left me to my ramblings...



Tommie Harris took a welcome break from Grossman questions to pose for a picture. I sat right next to Mr. Harris (like knee bumping distance) during the Q&A and Trivia portions of the evening's festivities. Each of the players (Harris, Luis Castillo and Mike Rucker) shared their favorite Bret Favre stories, which was pretty cool.

**For those of you who can't make out the little words, the sign read "Yes, I finally voted for 8th ballot Hall of Famer Art Monk, so get off my case, Dauber.

Duke v. Miami and a Gallery Update

Just a heads up that we have our first update to our Gallery and Guest Book for the month of February!

Thanks so much Ann, Kurt, Amy and Navin for the pic--it put a huge smile on my face. I can't tell you how much it meant to me, and I can't wait to see each of you soon.

Mark Makes a Good Point

Earlier this week, I posted this picture of my parents and my wife. As my father-in-law points out in the comments section, it's a little eerie how similarly my mother and wife are dressed. Hmm...

Happy Saturday, everyone! My internet connection wasn't working last night, which is why there was no Friday content. I'm considering moving the Weekly Roundup and General Awesomeness to Monday morning so that it doesn't get buried w/ the rest of the weekend content, but I'll let you all know.

Also of note--guest columnists, long hinted at and never delivered on, seem to be right around the corner. Oh yes, our writership pool is about to explode. Talk about General Awesomeness...
