• 16:50 In this uber-important week for UC football, I’m hoping UC can lock up Brian Kelly with an extension. Charlie Weis is in the wind.

• 15:04 I hate when I drop two players in fantasy football and they do really, really well that week. In other news, Who Dey!!

• 12:41 How cool would it be if UC played (beat?) Urban Meyer’s team for a national championship? Urban is a UC alumnus. First, Pitt. Then, Urban.
• 15:49 Four major FL teams playing each other now. If Bobby Bowden retires, is BK on their list? That scares me as much or more than ND.

• 10:42 Taking an extended lunch to watch the Bearcats beat the Illini. I’m thankful for our national ranking and ESPN. Squeeze the Juice! Go Cats!
• 17:54 Just realized I left my camera battery charging in the wall outlet at work. I have my camera with me. Dammit.

• 11:17 Currently in the madness that is the Marblehead v Swampscott high school football game. I think it’s the 101st meeting. I could be wrong.

• 14:48 Feeling good about rescuing my Twitter account from the endless tweets of Chad Ochocinco. Generous guy, very entertaining AND a bit much.
• 21:37 I offered my support to Mick Cronin on September 7 at the UC-Rutgers football game. The Bearcats basketball team is 4-0. Coincidence? Hmmm.

• 08:29 (Jumping on the thankfulness bandwagon) I give thanks for remembering: I always have a choice. I create my reality according to my thinking.
• 22:07 Christmas GIft Alert: If you have any interest in University of Cincinnati football, you MUST read "Bearcats Rising" by Josh Katzowitz.

• 12:10 First and foremost, I’m out on an excellent motorcycle ride today. It’s goooood for my soul. And now… GO BUCKS! BEAT MICHIGAN!

• 08:42 I lied. There is no painless commute into Somerville at the hour I’ve been leaving. I have to get up and out earlier. Need a rhythm.

• 16:45 Number of work days I have not eaten lunch at Anna’s Taqueria: Two. $5.30 for the Mexican plate. Mmmm. I walk by Chipotle to get there.
