Looking forward, looking back

Richard Roma was right...

Speaking of looking forward, our BW3 boneless bonanza is 4 days away, WrestleMania is one week away. opening day is April 5th, and Weezer is coming back to Milwaukee, on June 5th.

Some records I have to pick up soon....The National, She & Him, STP, Harper Simon and OK Go. There's more that I'm leaving out, I'm sure...

I'm in 2nd place in my college basketball brackets, only trailing my very good friend, Jamie Armata. Oh wait, I'm actually trailing his wife. OK, Tennessee vs Ohio State, Alisa. This game could very well determine our pool. I propose a bet. If Tennessee wins, I get to accuse you of something you're not, and if Ohio State wins, you can continue to be mean. Deal ?

The Barbara Walters Specials

Does anyone care?

Oscars? Pass.

Two albums that I've been wearing out this weekend....You in Reverse by Built To Spill, and The Shepherd's Dog by Iron & Wine. Both previously were filed in the "I need more time" bin in my head, but I now can easily file them under "Heavy rotation".

Gracie and I are working on a 200 piece Peanuts puzzle, easily her most ambitious puzzle in her young life, and let's be honest, mine too.

While the world is watching the Oscar's tonight, I will be at the gym, probably listening to one or both of the albums I've just mentioned, with the ultimate goal of getting rid of a few of these unwanted lbs.

Podcast...definitely want to do it. Obstacles? Time, money. Motive? Hella fun, promote the book. Gonna do more research tonight....

Lunch time...a bit early, yes yes?

Mixed Bag

The Browns restructure Josh Cribbs' contract......YEAAH !

Jamie and I are currently in discussions to do a baseball podcast, hopefully in time for the season. We've got some great things to discuss. Tomorrow, I will look into setting it up and getting an outline going. Very exciting stuff....

Gotta take care of Gracie.....
