Last year, for Halloween, I went with a loose interpretation of Super Mario:

If you want to have an impressive costume, you always have to be on the lookout for next year’s idea. And I think I’ve found my best option to date…
Thanks to Olympic men’s figure skating last night on NBC, and specifically the flamboyant [...]

Some more Halloween pics just popped up on Facebook: if you were walking down the street and saw Captain America fighting Super Mario, it would blow your mind, right?

Don’t worry, kids. Good isn’t actually fighting good. It just makes a nice photo op.
And my Super Mario eyebrows were out of control…

I reached another milestone. It took me 237 days from the start of My Fitness Project, but I finally got under my 8th grade basketball weight. My height is about the same too, so you could say that I’m smaller than an 8th grader.
My father and I had discussed a weight loss challenge this past [...]

I’ve had a severe cold since Halloween. It’s actually only gotten worse in the last couple of days, which explains why there haven’t been as many posts. But I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I need to get my brain back in shape. I haven’t done this puzzle yet (I need to make [...]

Last week: 5- 2 straight, 2-5 vs. spread

Last week: 4-3 straight, 5-2 vs. spread
Overall: 13-8 straight, 15-5-1 vs. spread
The themed week did not bring any greater success in the straight picking category, but did bring a plethora of errors in need of correction. Rather than explain them, I direct you to last week’s comments, which were infinitely entertaining and educational. In light [...]

Emory’s Football team is famously undefeated since 1836, because, well, there is no football team. Supposedly the founders of ‘The U’ put in some clause in the charter about barring violent activities, which apparently nixes football. I don’t know if that’s entirely true (help me out on the facts, Emory Grocery Guys), but either way, [...]
