Chapter 11 is up

I posted chapter eleven of the novel. Hope you enjoy.

Again, no pictures exist from this part of the trip. Just blurry, blurry memories. Good thing I am diligent about writing things down.

Celtics or Bruins?

Here's the dilemma tonight: Do I watch the Bruins or the Celtics? The Celtics are playing pretty poorly right now and I feel like they need my full attention. The Bruins, on the other hand, have a very important stretch ahead of them. The B's have 10 of 13 games at home this month. They've been unbeatable at home and could use this time to extend their lead in the Eastern Conference. It's inappropriate I have to make this decision.

Phelps vs. Sapp

Here's a video of Warren Sapp racing Michael Phelps (who gave Sapp a half pool length head start). No, I was not perusing TMZ.com, I was given the link. It's pretty entertaining.

Jim Mora

In honor of the NFL Playoffs (and what looks like a win for my lock of the day), here's Jim Mora in all his glory. Watch both. They're unbelievable.

Lock of the Day

I'm completely going against the grain here with this pick, but I don't trust a rookie quarterback on the road in the playoffs. Think about this: A rookie quarterback vs. a Super Bowl and MVP winning quarterback ON THE ROAD. You're telling me the entire Cardinal clubhouse is under the impression no one thinks they're going to win? The Falcons Super Bowl was just making it to the playoffs. Write it down.

Arizona (+3)

Arizona 31 Atlanta 14

Addendum: if a real falcon were fighting a cardinal, take the falcon every time.

In the other game, I like Indianapolis (-1) -- and that's because I've been predicting a Manning vs. Manning Super Bowl since week seven.

Good read

Nice feature here on President Bush's final days in the White House by Robert Draper from GQ. Love Bush or hate him (it's a good read for both sides of that argument), check it out. Finally a profile that does an adequate job showing the man George W. Bush.

Now we wait ...

According to this report on espn.com, this man will be our quarterback in New England for longer than we think.

On that terrible note, this day will be the first day I ever root for the New York Jets. Go Green!

Watch this

you won't be upset with me.

B's win again!

Good, old-time hockey being played tonight. Great defense, great goaltending (see that save by Thomas!?), very few mistakes. What a game!

Great win by the Bruins!

I don't care what anyone says. These are #'s 1 and 2. Anyone who gets a "Have You Forgotten 9-11?" tattoo is okay in my book. I haven't forgotten.
