Pains me to say it, but I think Texas wins. UT has the offense to go point-for-point with USC and they have a better defense.

I'm sure BiLo wasn't too thrilled about having to pay out a million bucks...but they are getting a TON of free publicity from the deal, so it's definitely worth it! I doubt they paid it out of their own pocket (although they still get the publicity!). We sponsored a golf tournament last year and I ...

On a more depressing note, I have to miss Bowden Bowl tomorrow b/c the 'keet is sick so I gotta stay home. :( Oh well. We'll watch it on TV together. He likes watching football. He's a born Tiger. :) GO TIGERS! Sorry you had to miss that one. From what I saw of it, you would've had a good time. :D ...

I work in politics for a living (glutton for punishment, I know). It's nice to take a break from it for a while when I come to BN.

From ESPN's Page 2: “It's like the best beer ad you've ever seen, only real.”

Anything from Cabela's is good and should be worn as much as possible.

Cabela's is my "if money were no object" store.

They've really made some good progress just in the last few years. Prior to my surgery, Remicade wasn't available yet. Good luck to her!

My best friend has Crohn's. It's nasty stuff. ((BRP)) Best wishes to him/her. I ended up having surgery about 6 1/2 years ago and, since then, I've been pretty much OK (knock on wood!). But I certainly remember it well. Ended up having to take a semester off of school and spending about 8 weeks rec...

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room? Yep, but fortunately not since I was little. Running through the house, tripped and smashed my face/mouth up good on the footboard of my bed. 2. What's the worst pain you've ever had? Crohn's Disease, hand's down. I wouldn't wish that on Hitler. Every ni...

Before last week, the answer would have been one, but after the cruise, I can add the Bahamas and St. Maarten (the Dutch side) to my list.

And with a kid on the way in February, that may well be the last of my travels for a while.

Is it a sign of iPod obsession when, in the course of the last week, I blew the majority of my vacation budget on a Bose Sound Dock in St. Thomas and then just last night bought a new car with one of the major selling points being it comes with a built in iPod connection? :oops:

I'm aboput 2/3 the way through a biography of former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill. A little dense, so it probably wasn't the best book that I could have taken on my cruise last week, but so far so good.

I got hooked on good beer when I lived in DC and could get good beer almost anywhere I went. That's been a big challenge since I moved back to OK--you have to reeeeaaaallllly work to find good beer here.

I had one of the worst bosses ever when I first moved to DC.
