Just to keep you updated (about 6 items)

Here are some things that I've done in the past month, in no particualr order or level of enjoyment. To me, it's all fun:

1. I finally saw the movie Juno. It took me a while to warm up to it, really it took about an hour in. But, it was ...

Beware of "The Phog"

Well, at least KU gives itself a chance for the conference title with the win. They FINALLY played a tough, hard game. If they can play like that more consistently, going after loose balls, rebounds, making the hustle plays, they can be dangerous. That's a big "if", but …

He got game: 60/100

I know that I'm not any good at hoops, but I've spent a lot of time this year shooting hoops, which almost anyone can do in your spare time. I read a lot, and

The weekend wrap

I'm glad to say that this will be a low key weekend. I'm watching some hoops on tv, went out to eat yesterday, nothing big, and then laundry and more hoops, Sat. evening and Sunday morning mass, along with bowling sunday. Next weekend should be fun, even though it looks ...

The Uptown Silver Dollar

I was out yesterday, at my place of choice, located on NW 23rd in Portland, The Uptown Silver Dollar. It is a place formally known as Sammy's, who still owns the place, but he did some remodling, and changing of the format. It is a sports restaurant/bar, and generally you ...

The ADL: Less than 50 days away!

Coming in late April, there is a wonderful basketball tournament that we have done for 7 years now back in the great state of Kansas. If you are aware of what it is, be sure to stay posted, as we might have some major changes this year. If you don't ...

March Madness: Big 12 gets 6 teams

It's time, if you didn't already get enough hoops this weekend, to start watching some games. How about it? What are the odds of Kansas playing Portland State in the first round? I did take a class this winter at PSU, so does that mean that I should root for ...

Eugene is so much like Lawrence

The town of Eugene was so similar to Lawrence. The downtown was quaint, with a mix of townsfolk and students intertwined. The campus

Spring Time is Near

I like to get outside a lot more than I do enjoy staying indoors. The weather is turning to our advantage (well, those that enjoy warmer, sunnier weather that is). Our Portland Timbers will begin play in early April versus the Puerto Rico Islanders at PGE park. I can remember ...

San Jose is milk and honey, but don't show up too early

From the time that I got here, I had a good feeling about San Jose, even in the early hours of 4am. Even though I arrived several hours before I thought I would on Sat. morning (everyone told me that 10 hrs. was impossible unless I was speeding, but they ...

San Jose is milk and honey, but don't show up too early

From the time that I got here, I had a good feeling about San Jose, even in the early hours of 4am. Even though I arrived several hours before I thought I would on Sat. morning (everyone told me that 10 hrs. was impossible unless I was speeding, but they were wrong-10 …
