live life

We’ll have to file this one under “Rules I wish I broke before I left Pittsburgh.” What’s life without a few risky chances, after all? I still wished we’d jumped the fence at Schenley and skated around in the dark.
A procrastinating coworker of mine stopped by my cube the other day and said that he [...]

did i say that?

One night in San Jose, I was having dinner with one of my photographers.
“How can you be sad? Doesn’t it give you an ego boost that so many men must want you?” he said.

“I don’t care about all those people; the one person I want to want me back, doesn’t, and that’s all that matters.”

“So [...]

sports conflicts of interest

I mildly sprained my ankle yesterday leaping off the back of a small half-Arabian mare who was convinced the trees on the trail were going to eat her. I’m far past “hero” stage in my life, and I know when and where to pick fights with large animals. In the middle of Mountain Home road [...]

double trouble

Saturyne’s in town until Sunday! I called her incessantly yesterday until she showed up at the sports bar by Ice Chalet in San Mateo last night to watch the first Sharks playoff game with me. I forgot I was in a restaurant and was screaming instructions and profanities from a table near the back of [...]

very cute things

This is the cutest puppy in the whole wide world — my trainer’s blue merle border collie, Cheyenne. Posting this pic reminds me of the fake mail a friend of mine got from an online dating service, with a link to a web site with photos of “her dog” and, when you scrolled to the [...]

four, no five

There seems to be such a following now of procrastinators reading this blog that I’ve realized I should probably try using it for educational purposes and seeing if I can’t teach my audience a few new tricks. Now, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t going to turn into a textbook. I’d be the first person [...]

go sharks

This from ESPN.com:
“Stuart got his first goal on a slap shot with 20 seconds left — and with time running out, the defenseman charged the net and slammed home a centering pass from Damphousse with 2.3 seconds to play, sending the sellout crowd at the Shark Tank into bedlam.”
I’d like to make one correction — [...]

half the game is mental

The other half is being mental. After getting slammed, shoved, kicked and slashed a little too much at last night’s D league game, I was sitting on the bench rather subdued at the end of third period, watching as we failed to score a goal to tie up the game in the last 20 seconds. [...]

never called back

I need a big love
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a raincoat

no matches found, suckah

On Valentine’s Day weekend, while everyone else was out on the town, I was in the bookstore reading as many books as I could for free. One disturbing find was a book entitled Are You My Husband? : I Can Find Him All by Myself, in which all the characters were cartoon birds. Clearly a [...]
