    Friday OT #1 - Two Kids In the Yard

    When selling our first house, we waited and waited for an offer before finally getting one. This was a small house and it wasn't a great market at the time (2012). We were selling for just under 100k. The offer we got was for 80k and they wanted us to replace the roof (10k?) and all of the...

    Friday OT - I broke it worse

    I have two, one for my wife and one for me. Wife's isn't construction related, but it's a story I tell all the time. Moved into a new house and the living room had nice wood blinds. The pull cord for the blinds, though, was like five feet too long. Always laying on the floor and overall just...

    Sturtz with 37 and 44 last two games again

    I've seen Bowen play a couple of times. Unlimited range, quick shot. He's just a Sophomore and he's leading the #1 class in 3A in scoring. I was very impressed, but he needs to grow physically, like a lot, in order to be a P5 player.

    Friday OT #1 - Take Me To Another Place...

    I have so many from High Fidelity, but mostly Walkin on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. Happy Together by the Turtles reminds me of Ernest Goes to Camp. I'm sure I'm not alone there.

    My wife has had 4. First baby natural, 2nd emergency c-section. 3-5 were all planned c-sections. She and I both agree that planned c-sections are the way to go.

    Friday OT - Foot In Mouth

    When in high school, a classmate of mine that I didn't know well brought up that he had never shaved with an actual razor, only with an electric one. I commented to him, "Didn't your dad ever teach you how to shave?". His response was that his dad had committed suicide when he was young. Oh...

    Baylor Hoopster Rico Gathers going to give the NFL a shot

    My favorite part of the article is the reason Gathers thinks he can play football. "During my free time, I work on my routes all the time," he said. "I have my own football, my own cleats, I run 40s all the time. I think I'm ready." Turns out I have a future in the NFL as I also own a...

    OT: Making A Murderer on Netflix

    Curses to whoever brought up "Dear Zachary". Despite my better judgment, I couldn't help myself and watched it last night. As a father of 5, I'm just devastated. Can't stop thinking about it.

    Des Moines ever changing sports talk radio

    I had been switching over to Marty & Miller when Chris and Ross were on commercial, but now that 98.3 has classic hip hop...different story.

    I was never emotional until I had kids. That scene in Titanic when the mom has her kids in bed below deck and she's reading them a story...holy crap. I'm nearly in tears typing this.

    Dumbest xmas gift you have ever gotten.

    My mother-in-law got me the Gene Chizik book a couple of years ago. She is a non-sports fan, but knew he used to be ISU's coach. She meant well, but it was really hard to act appreciative opening that.

    Gardenhire era at an end in Minnesota

    I think the most damning evidence against Gardy and his staff is the success a lot of the former players have had when they left MN. The most obvious example would be David Ortiz (who ripped the team after he left all those years ago for their attempts to change his approach), but there are...

    Injury Free Streak Over

    I have 4 kids, ages 12, 10, 4, and 2. That's 28 combined years. Yesterday was the first time any of them have had any sort of injury that required going to the hospital. No broken bones, stitches, nothing. Yesterday my 12 year old daughter broke her collar bone playing soccer. When I was a...

    I had this exact thing happen to my 2001 Avalon about 2 months ago. I'll be monitoring the responses and am very interested in what you end up doing.
