Fantasy football season is over. I did squeak into the consolation playoff brakcet and was able to beat my first playoff opponent. I thought I was sure to win the next week when I saw that my opponent's QB was Joey Harrington, but I was blown out. My solid performers ...

My daughter isn't that great at cleaning up her toys when she's done playing. It's kind of our fault because my wife and I don't properly reinforce the need to clean up. However, we are trying to be more consistent.
On Sunday, my daughter left an absolute mess in her playroom. ...

I undertook a new home improvement project over the weekend and, as usual, I discovered another problem with my house. In our family room, there was an ugly ceiling fan that did not have a light fixture. So, we bought a nice, new ceiling fan with a light. My dad ...

On Sunday, Terrell Owens sprained his ankle and may have to miss all of the playoffs. I actually really feel bad for him and the Eagles. I'm a life-long, die-hard Redskins fan, but I can appreciate the season the Eagles were having and I fully expected them to reach the ...

I fear for the Earth. I think its days are numbered. Well...that's not quite true -- I think Nature's days are numbered. Earth will probably be around forever. I honestly feel that if current trends continue, the Earth will eventually become uninhabitable (or be very, very different) due to Man's ...

Chanukah is just about over for this year and we've been giving our kids lots of new toys and games. When I was a kid, I remember ripping open presents and being able to play with my toys and games right away. Now, it seems that you need a chain ...

Yesterday, I volunteered as a solicitor for a the Jewish Federation of Howard County's 2004 fund drive. This was not something I was looking forward to at all. I was supposed to arrive at 9:15am for 45 minutes of training and then 2 hours of calling. I assumed there would ...

This Sunday, I get to do something I despise. I get to join the ranks of the telemarketers. Of course, it's for a good cause. It's a fundraiser for the Jewish Federation of Howard County or something like that -- I don't even know. I can tell I'm going to ...
