Why So Unserious?

Posted on June 30, 2020 by | Comments Off on Why So Unserious?
A few days ago was the 100th day of my self-quarantine. Your mileage may vary, depending on exactly where you live, but all of us are around the same point. At least 3 months of stay-at-home, wearing masks, Zoom calls, and gazing wistfully out windows. The current course of the pandemic makes it seem unlikely that this will change anytime soon. How Read more [...]

Some Thoughts in the Time of a Pandemic

Posted on April 30, 2020 by | Comments Off on Some Thoughts in the Time of a Pandemic
Not long after the start of the new year I had, at the time, what seemed like a really good idea. I wanted to tell this story about the last year of my life from St. Patrick’s Day 2019 to St. Patrick’s Day 2020. It was a year peppered with some pretty big changes, milestones and life events. I planned to start putting it all down into words Read more [...]

The Dilemma

Posted on February 27, 2020 by | Comments Off on The Dilemma
Let's begin with an internet-famous question - the "Entrepreneur's Dilemma:"             I happened upon (a simplified version of) this prompt about a month ago, and have been thinking about it ever since. It's fascinating to consider. Let's do so. Work. Family. Friends. Fitness. Sleep. Prioritize Read more [...]

State of the Blogcat

Posted on January 31, 2020 by | Comments Off on State of the Blogcat
Hard to believe, but we've been exploring Bobcat Territory for almost eight years now. We inaugurated this fine blogcat back on April 20 (natch), 2012. While it's a little early to be celebrating our anniversary, I decided this would be a fine time to take a look over the site and give a little breakdown of how things have been going. For once, Read more [...]

Food for Thought

Posted on October 31, 2019 by | Comments Off on Food for Thought
Editor's Note: You know when you look up a recipe online and it comes with some preamble about how the blogger learned to cook the meal? You're left scrolling through a never ending story when all you want are the ingredients and step-by-step instructions. This blogcat is somewhat like that, except there's no recipe at the end. It’s almost Read more [...]

Dog Talk

Posted on January 31, 2019 by | Comments Off on Dog Talk
If my dog could talk I’m sure he’d have a lot to say. He’s a pretty vocal dog as is, with different sounds for different occasions or moods. His day is an amalgamation of barks, grunts, growls, huffs and puffs and ruffs, whines, chortles, howls, and baying. In the five years that I’ve known Homer, he’s made just about any and every Read more [...]

Raising the Bar

Wine bars. Dive bars. Sports bars. Hipster bars. Cocktail bars. Night clubs. Dance clubs. Music venues. Nostalgia bars. Piano bars. Speakeasies. Irish pubs. Brewpubs. Gastropubs. Gay bars. Biker bars. Etc. These days, there are a fairly bewildering assortment of choices when it comes to finding a place to imbibe alcohol. I haven't even exhausted Read more [...]

Summer Slam Fri-Lights

Posted on September 18, 2018 by | Comments Off on Summer Slam Fri-Lights
We played four "official" (i.e., stat-tracking-worthy) games on the Friday of Summer Slam, outside the tourney matches. The fourth was an all-time classic - more on that one to come. In the meantime, the other three produced some fun moments. Check em out: ITB. Read more [...]
