2010-08-09 05:42:00 August already?? What’s even more shocking about the speed of time is the fact that it’s August and there is no air conditioning use occurring.

2010-06-22 19:22:00 It’s that time again.. once every four years that those of us in the States pay attention to soccer football.

2010-05-07 04:39:00 So, my non-collegiate spandex/team kit is brought to you by the clothing company Giordana. I’ve always liked this because 1) Giordana makes good stuff 2) it’s Italian and 3) it has the word ‘dana’ in the name. What isn’t there to like? Naturally, I have one improvement. I’m sure the folks at IBC won’t mind ...
