Featured BlogsThe Most Important Thing EverI was there. Last Sunday. The J-E-T-S JETS beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And Dr./Mrs. Poon was there too. After telling me all week how the JETS would get their asses kicked.
Mwahahahaha.... Read the rest of "The Most Important Thing Ever"

We're talkin bout practice, manI suppose now that my legal career is on its way, I should update everyone on my progress, as I started this blog and wrote 90% of it in law school.
When I think about it, though, I've been pretty disappointed with how things have played out. Consider that:
* I have not been nominated to a federal judgeship.
* I have not been examining a witness in a deposition and had opposing counsel "object to [me] being way too cute to ask that question."
* I have not had...... Read the rest of "We're talkin bout practice, man"

Looking good, MooseMeanwhile, I had my 10-year high school reunion the other night. That was pretty cool. 99% of our class looks the same. Except for, you know, the pregnant ones. They weren't pregnant at the 5-year.
Of course, half of my class is on Facebook already, so it's not like we all didn't know what everyone else was up to.
(Special kudos go to Dr./Mrs. Poon for accompanying me. It was nice to have a doctor there to balance out all the lawyers. Apparently that's just what you do when you...... Read the rest of "Looking good, Moose"

My boys need a houseI am breaking the silence in this space to wonder aloud what the hell has happened to jeans. I was out shopping with the Dr./Mrs. yesterday (and lived to tell the tale, thank you very much) and she suggested I try on some fancy, expensive jeans, since the ones I usually wear, from Banana Republic, are a few years old and are starting to go.
And, yes, before I go any further, "fancy, expensive jeans" means exactly what you think it does: her label and price but ph-balanced...... Read the rest of "My boys need a house"

Now battingThis is frustrating:
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Halle Berry says she and her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, tried and tried and tried to get pregnant.
Well, jeez, Halle, you couldn't have given me a shot?... Read the rest of "Now batting"

And it saves you some cash - which is just as good as moneyI love this line from ESPN, regarding whether Phil Mickelson can catch Tiger Woods for the FedEx Cup:
"To win the FedEx Cup, Phil will need to win this event and have Tiger finish tied for second -- or worse."... Read the rest of "And it saves you some cash - which is just as good as money"

In the WeedsAloha from Hawaii! Just wanted to note that despite my semi-retirement from blogging, I have signed on to be a contributor to In the Weeds, a group golf blog made up mostly of Deadspin commenters.
I hope to do a little Masters liveblogging tomorrow, as I've got to be logged in to do a bit of work (boo).
PS - Masters picks: Tiger, Geoff Ogilvy, Stewart Cink, Lee Westwood. I like Boo Weekley as a dark horse.... Read the rest of "In the Weeds"

This Just In: Philebrity Sync Stage Postponed Until July 4/2nd Street Fest + Popped Still OnDear Friends:
We had a feeling it might come to this. Regretfully, due to inclement weather, everybody at Philebrity.com, VitaminWater and the Piazza @ Schmidt’s would like to inform you that The Sync Stage has been postponed until Saturday, July 4th. However, The Second Street Festival and Popped! Philadelphia are STILL ON. The Second Street folks [...]

Remember Journalism?Not the kind where a self-congratulatory dinner - excuse me, “Nerdprom” - is oozing out of your TV, but this kind. The kind where a serious wrong by the U.S. government is brought to light.
You should read it. It doesn’t happen often.... Read the rest of "Remember Journalism?"
It’s Okay If You’re A RepublicanHow can you tell Karl Rove is lying? Easy - his lips are moving! (And Sean Hannity is holding his roll of toilet paper.)

Saturday Morning StuffFirst, the good news. Kid sister is coming home today! Doc told her she's doing better than was expected. Her recovery will be long as she had a boatload of surgery done, but it's mostly just going to be achieved through rest and some minor physical therapy. So yeah, all's well that end's well.Meanwhile, it's raining ... again. I am not sure, but I think we might be on our way to breaking some kind of weather record here in my neck of the woods. It seems that we have six or seven days of rain followed by one or two days of overcast weather, then a few hours of sun and some humidity, followed by storms and then back to cooler rainy weather. Whatever the case, I'm over it. Let's have some of that summer sunshine (although I will admit, my garden is going great guns thanks to all the precipitation - so there's that)....

YOUR LAST CHANCE IS TOMORROW: Dirt on DelightThe Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia
If the art world was a High School and the students in it were the mediums in which an artist could work, video, sculpture in general, and installation would currently be vying for the title of coolest kid. Each medium fashionably dressed with a hint of outsider rebellion even though they are firmly aware they fit right in. Screen-printing is the highly amusing social butterfly who fits in with everyone. Painting might be like a head cheerleader or have some position on the football team, drawing/works on paper might be her slightly mousier best friend (adjust metaphor if she is a he) who sometimes looks longingly across the cafeteria at “the cool kids.” Specific mediums such as glass, ceramics, comic books, and dance would all be various forms of “nerd” groups, soundly immersed in their individual dungeons and dragons type hobbies...

Readers, skipper, lament another lackluster lossThe Phillies fell 7-2 to an Orioles team that entered the night with an 8-20 road record. Afterward, answers were hard to come by. "If this team is so freaking taxed in the bullpen that they have to use Taschner for a second inning tonight in a close game why is Bako still on the roster? ... I will say this - Bastardo pitched well (in fact I think his best start of the year) and got ahead of hitters...... Read the rest of "Readers, skipper, lament another lackluster loss"
