The Wednesday Eudemon

Finally. I've believed for years that NBA playoff games were rigged: The Jordan Rules, high percentage of series going to game seven, the testimony of a very sober and respectable sports announcer in Detroit who said back in the early 1980s, in effect, "I can't

NFP and Sundry

BCS hangover this morning, so little blogging. Congratulations to LSU and the ghost of Walker Percy. I've always liked the SEC. Even though their fans have grown a bit tiresome lately, bayou country for a Saturday night football game has been on my list of "Places to

Voicemail Etiquette and Brews You Can Use

Tiger Town

No more blogging today. I'm headed to Detroit to watch the Tigers [http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=det]. We have a one-game lead, and the magic number is 3. I'm picking up my father and a friend this morning, then
