the great escape

it’s on kids.  iscosceles is going, going, getting out of dodge. 
physically, i’ve just landed in nyc after many weeks on the road.  but mentally, i’ve flown the coop.  and i couldn’t be happier.

a woman’s heart is a deep ocean

that’s what i learned tonight, kids.

and now for something completely different…

i am leaving tomorrow for a well earned and much needed ten day sojourn to the canary islands and the fine city of barcelona.  i’m so freaking out trying to get things done that i have yet to pack or even realize that i’m actually, really, truly going on vacation.  it’s been forever.

ZZZZZuper sunday

YAWN.
Golden boy Peyton Manning has his ring. We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
After an exciting 92 yard kickoff return for a touchdown by the Bears Devin Hester, it was all downhill for Superbowl XLI. The rain can certainly be blamed for some of the sloppyness in the game- missed snaps, fgs and receptions. [...]

can prime time network tv save us from mediocrity

Despite the fact that it’s inherently lame and incredibly redundant, I need to take this moment to write about the awesomeness of Jack Bauer.
