    After The Family Leaves

    For all of you talking about grandparent gifts... My experience has been that parents spoil kids to the extent they're able within a range. I know I did. If it isn't spent on Christmas it's spent in other ways. And my kids turned out pretty damned great. Most grandparents have more...

    Cameron Lard Eligible at Semester?

    I just want the kid to get here. Seems like he's really had a rough go of it - his tweets reflect that - and I'd really like to see things break right for him. And selfishly, I think he's going to be a stud.

    Texas basketball is really bad

    I'm quite confident they'll get better. And honestly, I hope so. You just might be looking at a preview of ISU next year with all the young players we'll have.

    .

    I love BBT. Guess I never noticed (or cared) about the laugh tracks. Maybe because I was too busy laughing. When I do settle in to relax and watch TV, I like to laugh. As far as suspending disbelief - ever watch Scorpion??? It's SO far out there that I love it. And I won't apologize for...

    How'd You Pick Your Favorite Sports Teams?

    I'd really like to hear how others picked their favorite sports teams. I think about it all the time when I wonder how anyone could possibly like the Hawks or Cowboys - and then I think of myself and I realize they probably have a story. As for me, I didn't pick a single team - they all picked...

    After The Family Leaves

    I love my family dearly and enjoyed every minute they were here. It was a joy. But before they left I was nearly curled up in a fetal position. And this is what I did as soon as they were gone. I think I smoked the cigarette in two drags. Any other experiences???

    George Michael has Passed Away

    I'm a good old fashioned progressive rocker, but I still absolutely love "Freedom". Something about that song.

    Conference Prediction for ISU

    This team has enough talent to be a very good team. But they are still learning how to play a totally different style than they've played in years. I'm concerned but still hopeful the switch will flip very quickly and they figure it out.

    Now that I'm in my (age group), (??) means more to me...

    Late 50's here. I'm noticing that the people posting right now at this time of the morning are older... Old man sleeping patterns are absolutely a fact of life. On a more serious note, time marches on and everything returns to equilibrium. Always has, always will. The worm always turns...

    If You Can't Laugh at Yourself... Pre-Holiday Humor

    Hahahahahaha!!!! I'm actually really worried about exactly that. I have my kids and grandkids and family coming for the holidays - and am in the process of adding bathrooms to the master and basement. But right now it's my only bathroom and it's a catastrophe in the making. What I can tell...

    If You Can't Laugh at Yourself... Pre-Holiday Humor

    I've had a bizarre week. Almost everything that could go wrong... did. But last night topped it off and I've been laughing about it all day. BACKSTORY: I bought an old house last year. It had on old toilet that went swirl swirl swirl and then slowly and weakly flushed. Totally ineffective...

    Favorite Christmas Songs

    On a related note, I just have to share this story. I played the guitar when I was a kid, and a buddy of mine and I were asked to play Silent Night in the church Christmas program. I was early teens and we practiced over and over and only got through it once perfectly. We nailed it in the...

    Favorite Christmas Songs

    The Pentatonix rendition of Little Drummer Boy is amazing. Pure vocal talent. I will be going out this afternoon to find that Christmas CD. That said, and it's emotional to me - not so much based on the music. But I remember my dad sitting in the recliner next to the "record player" with his...

    Wednesday OT - Show Me That Smile Again

    Ward Cleaver. Number one tv dad in my world. "Now Beaver..."

    MONDAY MUSINGS: No panic for hoops; CFP thoughts

    Very late to the party, but IMO this is absolutely the most spot on analysis I've seen out of you in regards to any ISU athletic program. Great read.

    Lindell Wigginton

    Unfortunately, the older I get the more comingled my memories become. I always hesitate before sharing something old like that, but I'm pretty sure I got that one right.

    Need Advice: IT Associates Degrees

    It's been 15 years since I was fully immersed in the IT world, but at that time I had a team of about 25 professionals I was responsible for. About half of them held Associates, and they made very good money and did very well for themselves. To me the key was never the language, it was...

    Can you imagine what that team would've been like later if we had gotten Glen Rice? Woulda coulda.

    Lindell Wigginton

    Eli Parker - who barely played for Orr - was the best leaper I can remember. ESPN did a special on him and his dunks. He named them. My favorite was the freeze frame. He'd be flying through the air - freeze for a photo op - than pound it home. The ESPN special was set to the song "Eli's...

    Omaha

    It very much depends on the source cited and the time period. I didn't spend time to dive into the numbers, just compared the last three years total index. And found an interesting additional article along the way. But these links provide ten years worth of data through 2014...
