After I closed my hotel room door I paused to give myself a little pat on the back. “Well done, Geno,” I said, enjoying a rare moment of pride and satisfaction. I’d somehow managed to transport myself from Allison Park, Pennsylvania to Mar del Plata, Argentina, and the fact that I’d accomplished this without psyche-scarring [...]
Sitting at home, killing time before I begin a day-long journey to Mar del Plata, Argentina. I do enjoy these surreal moments before taking a long trip–here I am, sitting at my desk just like any other day, and tomorrow I’ll (hopefully) be in South America. Actually, this time tomorrow I’ll be on a bus [...]
Yesterday was Good Friday, the most solemn day in the Christian religion. And so I felt a bit guilty about spending it walking around the Grove City Outlet Mall, though the cold and riving rain felt a bit like penance. There’s a Bose store up there and I needed a replacement cord for my noise-canceling [...]
April Fool’s Day is the great underachiever among our manufactured pseudoholidays. The idea, of course, is that you play some diabolical trick on some unsuspecting rube and as his world crashes down around him you shout “April Fools!!” And then everyone points and laughs as the victim falls to his knees and weeps tears of [...]
When Circuit City announced they were liquidating I paid them a few visits looking for bargains. I didn’t find any. Even with their merchandise marked down 20-30% their prices still weren’t competitive with Amazon. And I knew this because every time I gave an item a look-see I’d pull out my iPhone and use the [...]
We read in Peter King’s MMQB column that former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice was asked to speak at this week’s NFL Meetings. What she said, and what King (and others) wrote about what she said, is so incredibly stupid it makes you wonder how people like this feed themselves, let alone rise to positions [...]
Once upon a time me and my peeps would invade Damon’s at 11:30 when the NCAA Tournament began and spend the next 36 hours in a delicious drunken stupor. I would get so excited that I would actually go through my clothes weeks ahead of time to pick out what I was going to wear–only [...]
If a blogger writes a post and never posts it, does it make a sound? The answer to that clumsily-constructed analogy is “no”. I’ve now written three or four posts about how I haven’t been posting, and abandoned them all. How meta. I’m at a crossroads. I don’t see the point anymore, y’know? Either I [...]
Has it really been two weeks since I’ve written anything? No–actually I’ve written quite a bit. I just haven’t bothered to post any of it. Just a spot of existential media paralysis I’m working through with limited success. I’ve even started and abandoned a half-dozen “Has it really been X since I’ve written anything?” posts. [...]
We were sitting in the bar last night after volleyballing for a couple of hours. I was in pain, bad pain, my hip killing me and my back sending out subtle hints that "I’m gonna get you tomorrow, you (expletive deleted). I had a league game Wednesday night and played about the best I have [...]
It’s been pointed out that I haven’t been posting lately–not that these people were complaining, mind you, just pointing out a fact. My folks read my blog and when I go days without posting, well, they start to worry that I’m locked up somewhere, in an alcoholic coma, etc etc etc. I’ve once again fallen [...]
I have one big problem with parades–all the people. Parades would be great if they were invite-only, with special VIP sections set aside for folks like me. But they aren’t–it’s first-come, first-served, and I’ll be damned if I was gonna go dahntahn at like 3AM to get a spot by the stage. I parked over [...]
It’s gonna take me awhile to believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers actually won the Super Bowl. When I saw Larry Fitzgerald streak into the endzone I came to terms with the loss. We had a great year. We got to the big game. But when you can’t score a touchdown with three tries from the [...]
Super Sunday. Two weeks sitting on pins and needles and kickoff is just seven hours away. I’m ready–the lid on my emotional kettle is rattling, my hatred for small, inoffensive woodland birds at a fever pitch. I’m gonna go to the gym, have a nice little workout to further stoke the furnace, and get ready [...]
