Football Predictions Based on a Flux Capacitor
Last night my friend Jeff (AKA “Big Red” AKA “Red Man” AKA “Jeffy”) asked me when i was going to put up my NFL predictions for 2008.

It fascinates me to compare her current effort to her previous ones and to just wait on the timing and facial expressions I know are coming. Sometimes the anticipation gets the better of me and I begin to laugh prematurely just in expectation of how delightful this story will be.

If I were to tell you some of her stories I would then handicap her ability to tell them and would thus forfeit a tremendous amount of joy in both our lives.
Nevertheless for the purpose of this blog entry I must tell of just one of her timely lines (I apologize dear). Read the rest of this entry »
