If my life were a sitcom, my son would be the one who gets all of the laughs. He's got his own catchphrase. It's not quite on par with something like "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?", but it cracks me up every time.

I'm a Redskins fan. Always have been and -- although rooting for the Redskins seems to be an exercise in futility -- always will be. The Baltimore Ravens stadium is much closer to my house than the Redskins stadium. They are also a much better organization from top-to-bottom than the ...

I've made no secret of the fact that the genre of music I favor is hard rock/heavy metal. However, I noticed something today: I have a lot of music by female singer/songwriters in my MP3 collection. I realized this when I saw the Daily MP3 Deal in the Amazon MP3 ...

I'm really not sure what is going on with my son. I think he gets some sick pleasure out of rooting for the opposite team that I am rooting for. I mentioned a few months ago that he is a Giants fan, which is like a knife through the heart.
