DAY -1: 26 July 2012/Thursday
The Games of the XXX Olympiad are officially set to open on Friday in London, and Olympic fever has started to take over cyberspace. There has been speculation and myriad hypotheses about who might set the flame alight at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford from among the former British sporting greats that the organizing committee has assembled to participate in the opening ceremonies. There has also been controversy,... Read More

It was the first opportunity to atone for the come-from-ahead loss to the Mexicans in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final. It was also the inaugural game for the Americans after Jurgen Klinsmann took...

It was, frankly, quite shameful to hear Laurent Blanc whining petulantly on Saturday after UEFA drew their qualifying pools for the 2014 World Cup. “I don’t know why France are in the second group; why Greece, Norway and Croatia are ranked higher. We had to face one of the top teams, and we got the biggest. We should have been in the first group — and now we have drawn the best team of the last World Cup. But then, you have no... Read More

So I finally followed through on a promise I’ve been making for some time. After several years of watching my hair slowly grow out from buzzed beginnings, blossoming outward like one of those Chia Heads before flopping earthward in a mane around my shoulders and down my back, I’ve done something altruistic for a change. For years my wife has suggested, given my ability to grow one prodigious head of hair, that I should donate the tresses... Read More

I feel like a kid tearing through a bucket of Halloween candy. We’re in the final stages of our move back across town to the apartment complex we temporarily left to help a friend in need, and it sure feels good to be back.
