We’re already at the quarter pole for 2011?! Wow… this year just keeps sneaking past me, days turning into weeks and barreling through the months before I even realize it. At least some semblance of normalcy is on the horizon for me now, as spring arrives with my residential situation in focus and the ability to really hunker down to some work. Read More

Wow… seems that the beer my wife bought me last night really did a number on me. As I sat in front of the computer on Wednesday, digesting the 22 ounces of Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Brewery (13.0% alcohol by volume) and trying to finish up stage recaps from the Vuelta and musings from the U.S. Open and yes, this column as well, I instead felt my eyelids falling,...
