So the Cubs romp the Braves twice yesterday.  I think they have officially thrown in the towel folks.  The Bravos were outscored 18-2 yesterday in an embarrassing twin killing at Wrig...ah, Turner Field.  It just seemed like Wrigley, seeing as how over half the crowd was wearing Cubbie blue.  I happened to be in attendance at the nightcap last evening, and enjoyed myself immensely.  I must give thanks to B.R. Johnson for the ticket, Mark Ellis for the transport, and Mike Haralson for the laughter!

p.s. this'll be Cox's last year.  don't think he can take much more.

p.p.s GO CUBS GO!!!

Everyone knew he was going to win it.  After his less than stellar start, he slowly marches to the front of the pack.  Or should I say limps to the front of the pack.  Look, I know he just had knee surgery, and I'm sure he still has some discomfort, but give me a break.  After every shot, the camera zooms in for the Oscar-worthy grimace.  Don't tell me Tiger isn't aware of that either.  This guy was milking it for all it was worth.  He even said that if it weren't the U.S. Open, he wouldn't have played.  He wants all eyes on him and knew that this would take what little attention that's paid to any other golfer away from them and put it on the mighty TIGER!  There's no doubt, he's the greatest golfer on the planet right now, and by the time he's done, he'll be the greatest ever, but come on.  Go grimace in your bathroom mirror Tiger, cause I don't want to see it.

Well, we're into June and my Cubs are maintaining the best record in baseball.  I must admit, it's quite exciting.  I'm not ready to crown them World Series Champs just yet, as I know there's a long, long way to go, but it's still nice to know that they are on the right track.  They seem to find a way to win ballgames, despite themselves sometimes.  There's still four months to go, and a few improvements left to be made, but I'm looking forward to an exciting summer of Cubs baseball.  Wish I could say the same for you Braves fans...

50 mpg in a pickup?  These local gents have done it and say you can too!  They'll even provide you with detailed plans on how to do it!  Sounds simple enough, but do we have enough sense to do it???  Check em out!

Congrats go out to the team, the coaches, and the school.  Columbus is blessed with a tremendous amount of talent, and this is just another shining example.  We are all proud!  Enjoy it!

As another school year comes to an end, I congratulate all the new grads out there.  I also remind everyone else out there to be on the lookout for all the extra traffic on the road this summer.  Parents of teens, please remind your kids to be careful on the roads.  Speeding and reckless driving is responsible for many, many accidents every day across the country and it can be prevented.  Let's slow down a bit and be safe out there.

I'd say I did a pretty good job with my first Mother's Day experience.  My son, Holden, turned out to be a very generous young man!  His mom was extremely pleased and grateful for her gifts.  I just hope he loves his dad as much as he loves his mom.  Father's Day is coming up you know!!!
