Here's some pics from today out running around the market in Baku.

I've been busy as hell, but this was the first day me and some friends could get out and explore.

I'm ready to come home though.

So here the rundown
The summer has been increasingly kind to yours truly in the form of seeing new places and actually notching 37 states on my travels.

In June, I came back from the U.S. World Team Trials in Las Vegas and in July, made the annual wrestling pilgrimage to the Junior Nationals in Fargo, N.D.

I say this again Fargo is a great...

I know some people are picky about their real names and such, but this is pretty big news for me.

So don't blow up my SG spot!

random_scribe gets some attention.... for writing.

I got a new phone today from work.

Now, I'm bored.



I think this is rather amusing.

There aren't too many sports I've never had the experience in watching first hand. As a sports writer at a daily newspaper for much of my working career, I've covered various wrestling, football, volleyball, soccer, field hockey, basketball and hockey events, but June 2 was something new, something different and something strangely familiar.

Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I seeing Heart and Alice In Chains (sans Layne) on the same stage performing "Crazy on You" ????

What the fuck is going on here.

Been pretty pissed at the way I've been throwing the disc around lately. PA has been kicking my ass with its courses, and it's not like they're tough, it's the fact I just SUCK at disc golf.

I've been playing for a while, but I can never get into a rhythm. Technique-wise, I know what I'm doing wrong, but the actual part about correcting it...

Lake Placid and shit ....

April's winding down and basically, it's all about spring cleaning. Cleaning of the office, cleaning of the house, cleaning of the dishes, cleaning of the laundry and cleaning of the mind.

I sit here, watching some horrendously bad horror flicks on SCI-FI because I feel like doing nothing with my day. Nothing with my weekend, except those simple pleasures like...
