The Road To Recovery: A 12-Step Program For The Big Ten
2009-09-03 16:09:00 It all starts today.The 2009 Big Ten football season will kicks off tonight when Indiana takes on Eastern Kentucky in the Hoosier's newly renovated Memorial Stadium. (Why the Hoosiers spend $55 million to improve facilities only to sell away home games is beyond me. But that is another story.) The Thursday night kick-off, a first for the Big Ten, will feature a pretty good FCS team against the worst team in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers are bad, but there is no way they can lose to an FCS team, right?There was a time no one would think this game would be a challenge for any Big Ten team, but times have changed....
Travel Training- Staying Healthy on the Road
2009-08-21 04:57:00 There are so many things that seem to conspire against our fitness goals when we travel. The combination of unfamiliar places, lack of dining choices, extra time at the airport and the confiscation of our favorite toiletries, just to name a few. Whether you travel for your work or just vacation regularly, staying healthy and in shape is also difficult when you are on the road. Of course, if you are a motivated person and use the hotel workout room, go running or utilize a gym near by, you deserve to be congratulated. Exercise is an important part of releasing travel stresses and remaining dedicated to your health. Another component is what you eat. Although there can be many great ways to eat...
Comments and conversations from the road
2009-07-31 18:11:00 Me: Oh my God. Isn’t this July? Tour Guide: (nodding) Mark Twain said the coldest winter of his life was the summer he spent in San Francisco. Me: (looking around and shivering) Word. My nipples just fell off. Tour Guide: (blink, blink, blink) I prefer Twain. Me: This vacation certainly isn’t the romantic getaway we envisioned. Husband: Because you stopped plucking your eyebrows and I stopped plucking my ears? Me: No. It’s because we invited the kids to come along with us. Oldest: Wow, Mom. Thanks for getting us up at 5am to visit a deserted prison where the scariest men in America were kept and where some of them shot and killed several prison guards. I especially liked the part where three of them made dummy heads before escaping through the wall. Youngest: Those dummy heads scared the bejesus out of me. Husband: It’s not a vacation if we don’t have nightmares for at least two months afterwards. Me: Say it with me: theme parks are for pussies. Husban...

Thoughts from the road
2009-06-11 19:00:00 I hate to drive. I drive to work and back and that’s about it. Anytime we go somewhere as a family I make Lee drive. Whenever I go out with my friends I try to convince one of them to pick me up. Driving sucks. So imagine my excitement on the four hour drive to meet my mom in Chicago for our birthday trip to Vega. Four hours in a car. By myself. Good times. To keep myself entertained I turned the radio up really loud. Thank goodness for XM. I didn’t have to suffer through any static on the trip. Just my kind of music. All the way there. Lee worries about me when I drive. So to prepare he always makes sure all of the car’s fluids are full (oil, windshield washer fluid, etc) and he fills it up with gas. The tires on my truck need to be replaced so he borrowed some tires from a friend just for my trip. The new tires are a little taller than my old crappy tires. So I spent the whole trip worried I was going to topple over in my SUV like I keep hearing about on the news...

Giants Salvage Finale, Back to the Road
2009-05-18 22:04:00 The Giants avoided getting swept by taking Sunday's game vs. the Mets. They finally got a starting pitching performance like they're used to as Matt Cain won his fourth game of year and dropped his era to 2.65.Cain didn't just get it done on the mound either. He helped his own cause by driving in the Giants second and final run of the game with a single in the fifth. In addition to throwing 6 shutout innings, while allowing only 2 hits (although he did surrender 5 walks), Matty C was on base twice with that RBI single and a walk of his own. Cain's WHIP is still a tad high at 1.38 as he's walked at least 4 batters in 4 of his last 5 starts. Once Cain can get more consistent with his command, he's going to take another stride forward, but he's still showing the ability to get outs and keep runners off the board, amazingly, regardless of the amount of free passes he's allowing. five walks in 6 innings pitched is a high number, and you need to have pretty darn good stuff to be a...
The Road - Trailer
2009-05-17 12:07:00 The road is adapted from Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize winning novel of teh same name. The film is directed by John Hillcoat, best known for directing Nick Caves Screenplay for the Australian western The Proposition. Ethan and Joel Coen won an Oscar with their adaption of McCarthy's dark crime thriller No Country for Old Men in 2007."A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other."Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortensen, Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall and Garret Dillahunt star.
