The Nunez Memo was released this week and it turned out to be a little more than we initially thought it would be. I have to be honest with you: I did not think it was going to be anything. But it turned out to be a tad bigger than we initially thought. In this...

Super Bowl XXLIV or XXVVIL or Whatever It Is In Roman Numerals
It is Super Bowl and, even though I have not watched a lot this year (look at my blog archives and you will know why), I feel the need to weigh in on this game. I do every year. I know about the teams and think I know who is...

RIP Chief Wahoo!
The Cleveland Indians baseball team made a surprise (sort of) move yesterday by getting rid of its mascot and symbol, Chief Wahoo. I am no social justice warrior (everyone who has read my past posts know about this) but I think this is not a surprising turn of events....

Going Rogue: The Fall of California
I usually try not to blog too much about politics even though I am extremely political. I just think I should have fun and let loose. But this week has been a political firestorm (well, most of the last year if truth be known). An I happen to live in probably the dumbest state in the union. ...

The Killing of America Through Pop Culture
What do Oprah Winfrey, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kevin Hart, Kanye West, Chris Rock, Katy Perry, Ron Pearlman and Will Smith all have in common? They all have considered running for President of the United States. And, the reality is, any one of them would probably win. How do...

Race Report: The San Diego 50 Mile, Part 3
This is the last part of my race report. This part will be a lot shorter and will just go over the damage that occurred (blisters and so forth) and lessons learned. I use this simply to remind myself of what I need to do next time I race...

Race Report: The San Diego 50 Mile, Part 2
The first section of the report about the San Diego 50 mile race mainly covered the course. When I reached the halfway point, describing the course in reverse seems kind of worthless. Seeing that I was suffering to the point of quitting, I am going to go over what...

Race Report: The San Diego 50 Mile, Part 1
This is my report for the San Diego 50 trail race. I figured it would be best to post this as a blog entry instead of writing it down in my running journal because then others can see it and it would be backed up for all eternity (I...

Stanley Peak and Daley Ranch: A Weekend Hike
Josie and I decided to take a hike on Sunday. We had not gone in a while and thought we could both use the exercise. We decided to go to Daley Ranch, which is around Dixon Lake in Escondido. I had never been there before and we were not...

News for You!
I watch the news. That is no a great exclamation of my superior intelligence. I do it because I like to know what is going on in the world, love politics and think that news today will make for great stories in the future (you already know that I...
