I’ve watched about one third of ESPN’s 30 For 30 series of documentaries. I plan on watching most of the rest as long as they remain On Demand via Time Warner. I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve seen so far. Several have made me cry. I was especially moved by “The Guru of Go,” about Paul […]

I Love the Olympics
The men’s relay last night was one of the best races I’ve ever seen. I’m sitting in my living room in Catoosa, Oklahoma screaming as if I’m there in China. That is why we watch the Olympics. Speaking of the Olympics, I’d like to qualify for the 2012 games, but I’m not sure which sport […]
