Herding Cats

It's common to refer to three year olds as "Threenagers," due to their attitude and lack of cooperativeness. Were my oldest daughter to have already turned three, I would have titled this blogcat "Three(NineFive)nagers."  Alas, she is a mere 2.5 years old as it stands today - so it just didn't feel right.

Toddler Thoughts

My eldest daughter is almost two and a half years old. She's in fine toddler form: She likes Easter-egg hunts.

Game of Thrones Traded James Harden

Starting in Season 7, through the penultimate episode of the entire series that aired this past Sunday, Game of Thrones has been uneven at best. Nuts and bolts logistics, previously the show's strong suit, now wilt under the lightest scrutiny. Characters, who in earlier seasons were given ample screen time to develop and grow, now make hasty Read more [...]

The Streak

This website's origins are fairly humble. Cofounder Jason Siegel, on a trip to visit D.C., came over to the Rhode Island Avenue apartment Bullets and I cohabited at the time. Our sans-agenda hang-out ultimately meandered its way to grandiose dreams about how amazing it would be for our 6-bro squad to start a blog. Impulsiveness took over Read more [...]
