Leading a debt-free existence

I shed a tear as I wrote the last check. Pay to the order of Discover $817.35. This feeling has been a LONG time coming, twenty or so years, the culmination of balance after transferred balance after transferred balance. Today, I celebrate, for at 43 years old, I am officially debt-free.

To tank or not to tank: When winning just isn’t all that important

I was watching Lakers-Nuggets Game Five the other night.  You remember that game in Los the Staples Center where Kobe Bryant scored 43, yet his team still couldn’t close out the series?

Magic versus Bird, Russell versus Chamberlain, Jordan versus everybody else.  These are the rivalries that molded the National Basketball Association into what it is today.

What if? The solo hole-in-one scenario

I’ve been hitting the links a little more regularly these days.  The weather here in the Sunshine State is beautiful, courses are abundant and greens fees are incredibly reasonable.  Clubhouses are practically giving the golf away.

Blindsided by Quinton Aaron

You guys remember that movie The Blind Side?  A film based not too loosely on the book by Michael Lewis and the life story of Baltimore Raven offensive lineman, Michael Oher?  Blind Side won Sandra Bullock her first Academy Award and marked the big-time, acting debut of Quinton Aaron, who played Oher.

It’s the NBA Playoffs.  Tempers flare.  Players are already exhausted from an intense and accelerated season; they’re going to lose their cool.

Holding Court, Vol. 3: Better Late Than Never First Round NBA Playoff Predictions

I wasn’t really planning on writing an NBA Playoff preview this post-season.  As most of you know, I’ve already put all my eggs in the Miami Heat’s basket (although I found tempting value in both the Lakers at +1000 and the Mavericks at +3500).

Book Review: Wilt, 1962 by Gary M. Pomerantz

“In the history of professional team sports in America, there is no statistical equal of the Dipper’s hundred-point game, no other individual accomplishment in a single game so remarkable and out-sized.”
