sports uniforms

it’s no secret that i love sports, but i also love sports uniforms – except basketball.  i like watching for subtle changes, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  let’s talk about bad and ugly. i hate the new vikings unforms, mainly because i don’t like the new purple color. here’s the old        and the new. the cinncinati…

the F-word

We have the “f” word, the “n” word, the “s” word. We call people “b” instead of bitch. We have all kinds of words that are bleeped and/or inappropriate, but I heard something recently that I just can’t accept. A while back there was an actor who was fired from Grey’s Anatomy for calling someone…

However, as blasphemous as it seems, there came a time when I was ready to go back to school. There’s something about new shoes, jeans, long sleeve shirts, and a light jacket…
