Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Dick Vitale, legendary color man on ESPN’s NCAA Men’s Basketball telecasts. He underwent successful throat surgery today, and is expected to be out of the broadcast booth until February.
I love people who are enthusiastic about their work, and back that up with being skilled at what they [...]

It’s no secret that Michael Waltrip has had an abysmal season on the Nextel Cup circuit. I have mulled over how his sponsors must feel about his performance. And, today. during ESPN’s coverage of the Pennsylvania 500, a NAPA ad that went something like this:
Scene: Michael Waltrip Racing, Cornelius NC.
Michael is on camera, [...]

I had a schedule which erroneously listed the Kansas vs. Winston-Salem State mens basketball game as being scheduled for last night. OK, the schedule was free, downloaded from an iCal sharing place, and imported into iCal, synced to the Palm, and noted during yesterday’s pre-work GTD daily review. I’m not upset, this was [...]
