Day one in the blog world, better late than never!

Hello all,

A buddy of mine wrote me today (T-Rex Tim) and said my world was like a soap opera that he is unable to Tivo. Being a huge, huge fan of Tivo (and of my life.....most of the time), I thought what better time to start a blog? Do I have enough interesting things to say to start a blog? Maybe. Am I interested in communicating with friends and family? Absolutely. Well then why not have a blog? Done.

A little about me and this blog. First and foremost, I'm a sports fan. Bears season ticket holder, Cubs fan, Sox fan (yes both teams, people who can't be fans of both are myopic idiots), Blackhawks, Tigers, Steelers, Illini, Wolverines, the freaking U.S. Curling team, you name it I love it.....except the NBA which is really just a nightly mugging on nice wood floors.

Frequency: I'll write as often as I can/feel like it. It's not going to be a chain around my neck, but I genuinely enjoy writing and I bother enough other people in their blogs that I should be fairly adept at it. Some days I might post several times, depending on my schedule and other days not at all. As winter is approaching and I live in Chicago, there will be more time to post now than even a month ago. Unfortunately I don't get up at the crack of dawn, so my updates will mostly be done by lunch. For those that like to check this kind of thing out with their coffee while getting ready to start the day at work, you'll probably just be a day behind. Pretend I'm in Europe.

Now I have to figure out how to let people know about this.....

The U.S. Curling team? I hope you're talking about the womens team, right Joe?

Anyway, congratulations on the blog -- I look forward to many interesting entries (and probably being the subject of a few). Speaking of which, the Superfans were quite a hit on Saturday and I was happy to catch it.

You KNOW I'm all about the ladies dejesus! That said, the Swedish Curling team is NOT AT ALL similar to the Swedish Bikini team. Yikes.

Timmy, glad to have you aboard!

aww, I was hoping a link would work. Anyway, for a shot of the Swedish womens curling team, go here:

I thought the link would work too. I'm new to this though. If you look closely, you'll see the Skip is holding the trophy and she is not an attractive woman. You only see the Skip and Vice Skip on tv. Ruff!
