Go Fighting Irish!!!

Just wanted to give “props” to the Knoxville Catholic High School – Fighting Irish for defeating (4 years in a row) their arch rival, Webb School. Both teams went onto the field 6-0 and both played a great game, with Catholic scoring first and never giving up the lead to win 14-12. Good [...]

Google RSS reader

Google has released (although it’s hard to find) a web-based RSS reader. I tell you, it’s hard to stay with Yahoo when Google comes out with cool utilities like this. Anyways, check it out here if you want…pretty good stuff.

I’ve been keeping tabs on this thing for awhile (there’s a link to this device over at the ‘box, which is not responding right now…wtf!?) and Sirius’ website confirms an October [...]

St. Jude Hospital

I just wanted to write a quick post about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Located in Memphis, TN, this hospital has been a large part of my family for years. I lost a brother to Leukemia in 1989 after a 6 1/2 year battle with the disease. That hospital was absolutely wonderful [...]

Tunica Queen

As my post below states, I wasn’t very pleased with Tunica at all. One of the better moments of the trip was the riverboat cruise on the Tunica Queen. I took some pretty good pictures of the sunset and a couple of not-so-good night shots of various buildings on the river front. [...]

Tunica, MS
