  1. So, the Patriots are cheating again. Is that newsworthy? Judge for yourself. Read the article in today's New York Times. It seems that sportsmanship and fair play hardly matter to some.
  2. Football fans aren't necessarily rational.

    On Writing

    I like blogs with substantive content.
  6. Happy Birthday, Bleu!
  7. Well, I no sooner finish my post above and turn to the local newspaper, than I find the Federal Congress is jumping into the game. Tennessean article.
  8. Speaking of higher taxes on gasoline, everyone should be on the lookout for their state legislature to raise gas taxes. The lower prices provide an excellent opportunity to sneak in more revenue for the state. This is not intended to be a political comment, certainly not partisan. Just be alert.
  9. This may have a huge negative impact on the US economy. If the price of oil keeps falling, extraction operations will cease because the price is below the cost of production...jobs will be lost. That fracking boom in North Dakota will collapse. Regular gas is going for as low as $1.789 here.

    Riley Bria is originally from Spring Hill, Tennessee...near Nashville. He was the first contestant shown tonight from American Idol's Nashville auditions. And he was the first to be awarded a ticket to Hollywood. Riley jammed with Keith Urban on the 2012 American Country Awards. And here is tonight's performance... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RDnQ3m5BP-Y

    Don't sweat 40. Wait and sweat 70. Congratulations to you and Jian...one of my favorite couples. Please tell him I said hi.
  12. "Bullfinch", I think.
  13. Merry Christmas!
  14. Thanks for sharing this, James. I hope fewer and fewer teens are having to live with such bigotry these days. I'm prompted to ask two questions: 1. What is the attraction in Mississippi that keeps you there? 2. The red Mustang you pictured is a real beauty, but the background doesn't look like any part of Mississippi I know. Where is it?
  15. Hooray! A limerick!
  16. Happy Birthday, John!
  17. White Christmas...one of many versions:
  18. Happy Birthday, Benji!
  19. Hi, Lacey!
  20. LOL Welcome Mariah (fellow Tennessean). Have fun.
  21. Happy Birthday, Matt!
  22. Welcome, Aspirant. Anyone older than I is very welcome.
  23. I remember that Billy Gillman was a big hit at age 11.
