How to begin??
Okay. On Saturday night, Chip, Kristina and I were supposed to be going to a Halloween party at McFadden’s downtown. Kristina’s friend Jen knows a bunch of British people who rented out the downstairs room and had an open bar party.
Good so far.

Dart Loss Again
October 26th, 2005 · 1 Comment
Damn.
Another dart loss. But this one really was a heartbreaker. We played the number one team, and were with them in every game. There were no blowouts….
We won the first game when I accomplished something I’ve never done before: a three-dart out on a game of ‘01. But I lost to a “lights out” player [...]

October 24th, 2005 · No Comments

And man, do those guys know how to treat their visitors.
We arrived about [...]

Yesterday, a “conversation with U.S. troops” was exposed to show that questions from the President and the answers were scripted.
Allison Barber, deputy assistant defense secretary was seen coaching the troops in a live shot before the performance was supposed to be shown.
“OK, so let’s just walk through this,” Barber said. “Captain Kennedy, you answer [...]

Instant Replay for Baseball?
October 13th, 2005 · 1 Comment
The White Sox beat the Angels last night due to a disputed call at home. From Yahoo:
In a sequence as bizarre as any imaginable on a baseball field, A.J. Pierzynski struck out swinging against Angels reliever Kelvim Escobar, appearing to end the bottom of the ninth inning with the score tied at 1.
Escobar’s low pitch [...]
