A Good Football Night
Best thing about tonight’s game: Chargers lost. Second best thing: Chargers kept shooting themselves in the foot by penalties incurred after the play was over. Being a jerk sometimes doesn’t pay, it turns out. Third best thing: Mark Sanchez, who … Continue reading

Consolation League?
Well, my mostly-neglected Fantasy Football team failed to make the real playoffs.? I suppose it’s not entirely bad to be seeded well in the consolation playoffs. Perhaps next season I’ll have a bit more time to fiddle with such things.

eBook Reflection: Federalist 21-29
I actually started this reflection after I had finished paper 26, partly because a busier schedule has spread out my reading (and I don’t trust my memory) and partly because papers 24 through 29 are in their own rights so … Continue reading
Book Review: Watching Baseball Smarter
I’ve finished my first genuine leisure read of the summer.? (Al Gore was fun in his own way, but this one has nothing to do with college teaching, so I’m claiming it as a true leisure read.)? Hample has all … Continue reading

Waiting for the announcement about TA raises…
$800,000 per annum raise for UGA head football coach Yeah, that’s his raise. I could teach 57 years at UGA at my current pay rate and not match his raise. (I’d have to teach 200 years to match a year … Continue reading

The Computer is Back
On one hand, it’s great that I now have a hard drive four times the size of my old one, twice the RAM that I did before, and DVD/DVD-R drive. On the other, it rather stinks that those events came … Continue reading

Football is no Place for Democracy
I just looked at the score from last night’s minor league football game, and it looks like Ohio State was once again overmatched.? Perhaps instead of choosing the last two teams the way high schools choose their homecoming queens, the … Continue reading

Going to Evil School
I’ll admit that I didn’t do my best teaching today.? For whatever reason, I had trouble getting the discussion going in meaningful directions in either class, and although my students were saying good things, I didn’t do a very good … Continue reading

Cubs on the brink… again
I haven’t watched either game in the Arizona series, and I don’t plan to watch tonight.? If they go deeper than this round, I might consider talking Mary into taking Micah for a few innings, but so far, reading about … Continue reading
