I like my job. I really do.
But I like baseball better.
So, when the Columbus Catfish announced their schedule, and I saw two weekday games, I immediately put in for those two days off.
One of those was today.
And it wasn’t a good day at the ballpark. The Asheville Tourists doubled up the Catfish today, 4-2, before [...]

If it wasn’t for the 7 runs that Asheville scored in the 9th inning, the Columbus Catfish would have only lost by 8 runs.
That’s the good news.
And that’s about the only good news of the night.
What should have been a fun pitching matchup turned into batting practice for the visiting Asheville Tourists, who clobbered 22 [...]

You seen those pictures?
The ones of Miley Cyrus? The Hannah Montana kid? Billy Ray Cyrus’ little girl?
She’s showing up in Vanity Fair almost wearing clothes.
To be fair, there is no nudity. Unless you count her back.
She’s topless. But holding what looks like a sheet.
In reality, the pictures are no big deal.
EXCEPT THAT THE GIRL IS [...]

Charleston took a [...]

Normally, I’d pretty much ignore any TV commercial for a cell phone. At least until it’s time to renew or change.
It’s time. Or coming up soon, anyway.
I suspect many people are that way. You know, in the middle of a contract with Alltel, so when the “Can you hear me now” guy comes on, they [...]

I’ve been trying my hand at video at the Catfish games lately.
My cell phone takes really, really small, really, really low quality videos.
But, when I take one, I can upload it to YouTube really, really easily.
But the quality, like I said, is low. Sometimes, it’s okay, but sometimes, it’s not.
Last couple of nights, I’ve been [...]
