Thanks in advance for indulging me. This is the map of the route my family will be taking home to Buffalo from Louisiana after four months of hanging out with LSU sports, Zapata’s Mexican Restaurant and a bunch of trips to New Orleans. We want to make sure we don’t miss anything cool along the… Continue Reading

Earning Scholarships at LSU with (maybe) Zach Mettenberger
This evening was a beautiful one in Baton Rouge and on the way home from dinner my wife decided she wanted to pick up some supplies for her final week of teaching down South. For savings sake, she wanted to stop at a mega store whose existence makes me want to dive into a dumpster… Continue Reading
Dogs Are The Best, Right Up Until The End
Life’s kinda rough. Not saying it’s isn’t beautiful or anything like that, but to be frank the best part is easily those who love you. The ones who choose to love you are pretty awesome and the ones that pretty much have to get a slightly bigger high-five. Then there are dogs, who have to… Continue Reading

I’m a huge fan of Steve… Continue Reading

Who Would Win?
Darcy Regier has said the NHL market gets out of control with dollar and term. Well, what if he kept all his players by matching every single offer given to them on the open market? Which team is better? This was just a numbers experiment… I haven’t drawn any conclusions… but it’s interesting. ============================== 2012-13… Continue Reading
