What I Write About

I write about the infinite number of intersections between every day life and the good news of the God who has come to get us.

Who's Hot, Who's Not

Who's Hot:

*Heels & 'Hoos: UNC men basketball projected #1 or #2 in most polls; UVA alum Katie Couric first solo woman news anchor.

*Tom Cruise: Proud soon-to-be papa stars in can't-miss Mission Impossible 3, but then again...

*NFL & NCAA: Pro football's draft has become newest national obsession; College football crowns new champ in epic championship game then two months later stages greatest basketball tourney in history despite ho-hum Final Four.

*Dook Lax: DNA tests come back negative; but then again...

*Easter Bunnies: Easter Saturday yard work leads to discovery of rabbit's den with two bunnies; the next day the Easter Bunny (no relation) leaves basket with Play-Do pasta maker for Davis.


Who's Not:

*Devils & Pack: Dook to lose more than just Reddick and Williams to this year's draft; N.C. State boosters and media run off all-around good guy (and good coach) Herb Sendek and are dissed and dismissed by first two choices.

*Tom Cruise:...tabloids full of rumors of marital discontent, freekatie.net continues to be hot internet site, and then there's that whole Scientology thing...

*MLB & NBA: Baseball season began a little while ago and the only reason anyone cared was to watch the train-wreck of Barry Bonds' life and ego as drug allegations unravel his inflated career; the NBA playoffs begin way too soon after the NCAA tourney for anyone to think that they really do love this game.

*Dook Lax: ...what do you say if you're the athletic director: way to not molest the stripper, guys? Season's cancelled, coach is gone, and D.A. vows to continue investigation.

*George W: Approval rating continues to decline; former baseball team Texas Rangers so bad already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

*Easter Snakes: Easter weekend yard work yields more reptiles than bunnies; yard work done yields more to do.

links? c'mon man, don't make me google! You're supposed to do all the work so I can sit here, drink mai-tais and surf!


Duke (ahem) Lax: At the very least, this is a tale of the sheer power of the suggestion of rape. What do you say if your the AD? You say, "Whether or not you did this, and heaven help you if you did, what you've learned is not to ever put yourself into a situation where you could be accused of such a thing. If you're innocent of rape, you're all guilty of being absolute idiots and morons. Though perhaps that comparison is unfair to idiots and morons."
