Commentary on Sports, Society, Dating and More
I grew up in Chicago, the suburbs to be specific. Chicagoland is a great part of the country, but one of the drawbacks is the lack of natural beauty and topography. The Dominican Republic, on the other hand, is a beautiful country with so much geographical and topographical diversity. For a relatively small island, the […]
I’m going to continue with this series, since it look like the Chicago shutdown is going to be longer than most. As rough as it may be for me and the rest of us Americans coping with social isolation, we should remember how tough it can be in the developing world. One of the basic […]
With COVID-19, one of the things that has come into my head is my time in the US Peace Corps over 20 years ago now. For those of you unfamiliar with the Peace Corps, it is a volunteer service done in foreign countries by US residents. The typical timeframe is 2 years with an additional […]
I want to apologize to my loyal readers for taking a hiatus on sports writing. I usually write a ton on the NFL Draft which is happening virtually, and it was a good departure from the reality of the COVID-19 mess we are all living in. However, I have to write about the coolest ESPN […]
I know it has literally been months, since I’ve posted on dating on this site. That was pretty intentional.

Every game counts at this point of the season. With conference tournaments starting this week, every team has hopes to get in the Big Dance. Week in Review Wildcats Take Big 12 Title – #6 Kentucky took their sweet revenge against Auburn on Saturday winning, 73-66, clinching the Big 12 Regular Season Crown (but lost […]
I’ll review the Bubble again in a bit, but it has to be said that the Top 10 got crushed this week. So, to me, that shows how crazy this March will be. Let’s review it. (Note, this article does not include the late games in the Mountain West on Tuesday night.) Week in Review […]
Coping in the COVID-19 Shutdown
With a week off from posting, I thought I’d explore the lighter side of all this Corona virus talk. My last post was really specific on dating during the pandemic, but what about the rest of us. In talking with several friends this weekend and one in particular who had me rolling on the ground, […]
