Congratulations to Anamika Veeramani, the NE Ohio student who won the National Spelling Bee. She managed what the Browns, Cavs and Indians haven’t managed since I was 3 years old — she brought a National Championship to Cleveland. Let’s hope they don’t trade her to Denver for some kid who can’t read. (Thanks, Drew Carey) … Continue reading »

Workin’ for a livin’ …
Well, I think I’ve moved to work. Maybe not completely, but we’ve had a ton of stuff to do lately and there’ve been some long hours. And of course, in this new job, I’m overtime-exempt, so I don’t get paid, although I did get half a day off Friday due to us finishing a proposal … Continue reading »
I’m Goin’ Down, Down, Down …
Not a good day. First, I heard about the short story contest I entered and “no go”. Congrats to those who did win, though. The Habs lost and Jaro didn’t do well. Bummed about that in a big way. Then we got a flat tire on our new car (road hazard – puncture) and since … Continue reading »
Just Hang On …
(or, in Cajun French: Lache pas de patate!) Maybe I should have found a song lyric for “Here we go again …” or, “you’re killing me”. They looked pretty bad last night and I suspect we’ll see Carey Price in the net for the next game. But you can’t blame it all on Jaro (well, … Continue reading »
Something To Talk About …
Just some idle thoughts … Temps here went from 80s to 40s in two days. Oh, Ohio. We saw Frankie Valli at Playhouse Square the other day. Really great concert and just shows that a real showman is a showman and entertainer no matter what his age is. Getting ready to head home and watch … Continue reading »
The Waiting is the Hardest Part …
Well, the Cavs won last night, which is a good thing. But I still am concerned — we had a great record last year, but it didn’t ultimately mean anything in the post-season. We need a championship. Although, I wonder if it’s not a two-prong dilemma. I’m not sure what LeBron James wants out of … Continue reading »
Either Step Up, or Step Back …
Canadiens: When I got a chance to check hockey scores this morning (hey, Plain Dealer, would it kill you to put NHL stuff in the paper? Some of us care more about hockey than just the Lake Erie Monsters!) I was sorry to see Les Habs lost the other night. Win one, lose one … … Continue reading »
Thank you …
Despite feeling like I’m something spoiled on the beach this morning, I thought maybe I’d feel better if I thought about the blessings I have, instead of dwelling on being down (on myself and generally). I’m thankful for: My friends on the Combat! group who give me good feedback on my stories. If I’ve gotten … Continue reading »
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’ …
Well, the Cavs made a move. Glad they didn’t get Stoudemire, glad that Z can come back in 30 days (and I hope he does) and hoping Antawn Jamison turns out to be the missing piece the Cavaliers need to take it all the way to the next level. Movie recommendation: I finally got to … Continue reading »
Wishin’ and Hopin’ …
Maybe? Could it be? While I’m recovering from laughing myself sick that Les Habs have to go 19-7 from here on out in order to get to the playoffs, I’m hoping like you wouldn’t believe that this IS the year for the Cavs … and that we get to keep LeBron when we’re done. Oh, … Continue reading »
