I've followed John Mayer's twitter account for a while (along with about a million other people) and he has a quirky, fun, unabashed, slightly snarky style that I find amusing. His tweet on Sunday threw me for a loop: "Thank You Toronto....
Go watch this video of Warren Buffett spending a day with the girls at Girls Inc. of Omaha, helping them to learn to use the 17 new Hilo ukes he brought them. This just makes me happy... Backstory here ... You don't have to be a billionaire to do...
Obviously, I am pulling for the Spartans in tonight's championship game. Do I think the Spartans will win? That's a tough call. I am sure they *can* win, but it is far from an answered question. UNC is outrageous, and they can drop some big scores...
http://noise.typepad.com/hey_joe/2009/04/filizzobuster.html Tom Izzo finally kind of let fly at his presser this week, and Joe Rexrode (Hey, Joe!) of the LSJ shared the entire transcript with us. Needless to say, without getting trite or petty, I think...
I usually keep the matter on this blog pretty thin on the personal details, but this is kind of interesting and personal. When we we started trying to make our little family, there was a period where things didn't just happen. We sought medical advice...
As I am (for like the thousandth time) trying to again drop some poundage and get myself into a healthier fitness level, I am astounded by stories of people achieving outrageous physical feats, through their determination and hard work. http://www.cnn...
I just had to throw out some love for Mr. Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Men's Basketball team. Nice job getting to the Sweet Sixteen -- keep it up this coming weekend! Also, a shout out for Suzy Merchant and the Michigan State Women's Basketball...
As a pretty conservative person (at least from the aspect of domestic policy), I struggle with partisan politics. I can't say I have been happy with the way the GOP has handled this country over the last 8 years. I wouldn't say that it was all...
But not for athletic endeavors this time -- the scientists at the NSCL at MSU have been awarded funding to produce the Faciliity for Rare Isotope Beams. This new project should keep MSU at the forefront of US Nuclear Physics research for a few more decades...
The Market Recap on my yahoo page said "stocks continue their choppy trade" and my brain automatically mapped that to "stocks continue their crappy trade." I thought it was odd that an official news outlet used the word crappy in an...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071222/bs_nm/goldmansachs_blankfein_dc_1 67.9 million dollar bonus. Now that's a nice payback for a job well done...
No, I am not referring to the football team, I am referring to the fact that the only real restaurant in town has closed its doors . I'll be the first to admit that many people who live in Milan don't seem to be restaurant frequenters (at least...
I posted some time ago about how this article about Genarlow Wilson made me unhappy. Well, ESPN published a follow-up story covering his release from prison , finally. It still makes me unhappy that there are people who think the right thing was done...
George Webster has passed away. One of the all-time great college football players, and certainly one of the greatest ever to play at MSU. Joe has a nice writeup both in the Journal and on his blog. First Mad Dog Thornhill, and now George Webster -- unfortunately...
http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/04/i_want_to_clear.html Reading the article and several comments following reinforces to me that ignorance and fear are extremely dangerous. When I say ignorance, I am not trying to insult anyone, I am only referring...
