YOU CAN STOP HITTING REFRESHRemember me? Mo? Homer, 9 - noon? No? Then why are you here?
The sign of a good vacation: it feels like you were gone for months when in fact you were gone for a week. I'd bore you with what I did and where I went, but I know how my eyes gloss over and my mind starts wandering when my co-workers return from their vacations and tell me unsolicited stories of their adventures. I think me going on and on would have the same effect on you. I can tell you it was sunny, it was warm, and not one person wanted to talk about Chad Johnson.
Got a lot of e-mails while I was out, but seeing that I'm still answering ones that go back as far as February 12th, give me a couple of days. I meant to answer them Sunday, but I spent about four hours looking for my Opening Day ticket...because my wife threw it away. Delightful. Nothing like combing through week and a half old trash at midnight after your sweet wife remembers tossing it in there after you've torn the house apart looking for it.
Midweek while I was out, I actually thought about doing some blogging. Had some time to myself, some things on my mind, thought I'd post some stuff. Didn't happen. Thus, I'm down to zero laptops. You may recall laptop number one was left in a room of the Morgantown Waterfront Hotel. Laptop number two may be washing up in Cuba any day now.
I hear my replacement went over big with XU fans. Sorry I missed the bulk of their run. The West Virginia/Xavier game was tremendous. A great run, and a great season. You know I'm a UC guy, but on vacation, when I told people where I was from, just about everyone wanted to talk about Xavier hoops. Kinda cool. A great year. A great class of seniors (I've killed Josh Duncan for a while, but his performance on Thursday night was Herculean), and a whale of a job by Sean Miller.
Also, thank you North Carolina.
Outside of four or five games, kind of a dud of a tournament, huh?
Anyway, couple of short items....
Opening Day! Gameworks! Newport on the Levee! We're starting at 8:00am with the Cut-man and Trent. I join the Cut-man at 9:00. At 10:00, it's me and Lance, until he takes over by himself at noon. Hope you can join us. At 11:00, we're gonna be with former Red Chris Sexton, who will tell us how many people have confused him with the bad guy in "Karate Kid."
This blog, and the entire station site, is changing on Monday. For the better. Trust me. Should be pretty cool. It will be kinda of a work in progress, but should be more interactive. Stay tuned.
Now, for a couple of quick things I missed while gone....
The most important thing I missed might have been
this Barstool Sports gallery of Sasha Cohen, documenting her changing, um, appearance.
(Thanks to listener Steven)
We also had the online goodness of the
Xavier Leg Spreader.
This UCLA cheerleader is certainly deserving of a top seed.
The new season of "The Hills" debuted while I was out, and for those who give me a hard time about watching it, here's one of the reasons why it's must-see. We have
Heidi and her dillweed boyfriend.
(Thanks to traffic man extraordinaire Matt Steinmann)
And finally, we have the continuing cramming down our throats of
this guy.
ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
I'm on vacation until Opening Day. What that means is, I'm not going to be on the radio until then (hope to see you at Gameworks by the way) and I won't be blogging. Unless I get completely bored. Anyway, stay strong during my absence. To hold you over, I present to you a portion of the infamous "Bicycle store" episode of Diff'rent Strokes.
And after you watch the movie...keep up with other stuff by visiting
Nick Brunker's blog. He's filling in for me this week and he needs your help with a different kind of bracket.
