Last weekend, in a fit of tbbs WorldHQ tidying, defenestration, and spontaneous combustion abatement, I became distressed at the state of our remote controls for our various home entertainment devices.
I’ll say first that MLB and I don’t have a huge array of devices to control; our home entertainment stack consists of a Sharp Aquos [...]

Paul Harvey, American radio icon, has passed away at age 90.
I could repeat all the lines he used to begin and end his radio broadcasts; I could mention sponsors of his radio news show, whose goods I’ve purchased, but I won’t.
I’ll just say that I listened, I was informed, and I’ll miss hearing [...]
Bill France Jr, who became NASCAR’s second president when he assumed the reins from his father, has passed away at age 74.
He oversaw NASCAR’s growth from a regional Southeastern US sport, to the coast-to-coast, border-to-border, and even international attraction is has become today.
Just a few of the things that molded NASCAR racing on Bill France [...]
As dutifully chronicled previously, Maryland State Legislator LeRoy E. Myers Jr., went on a one-man campaign against the display of plastic male body parts from the trailer hitches of Marylanders’ trucks and SUVs.
I heard on the radio today that LeRoy’s bill has been killed, so Marylanders may now let the plastic stindeens flap proudly from [...]

And on XM Radio, or at least on XM via DirecTV, classical Christmas carols. I’m listening, as I perform my spontaneous combustion abatement exercises in the family room. In the spirit of the season, lyrics from an excellent carol:
Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, [...]

I’d previously bemoaned the fact that my brother-in-law’s CableCo doesn’t carry the NFL Network, resulting in our not watching the Kansas City Chieves on Thanksgiving night. Scott, aka The Fat Guy, suffered through listening to his Cowpokes on the radio, since he couldn’t get NFLnet.
Only yesterday, I wrote about NASCAR’s HotPass package [...]

I sat down a couple of hours ago, all primed to watch Kansas Jayhawks basketball. They played the DePaul Blue Demons in Chicago this afternoon.
SWMBO and I buy the ESPN Full Court package each year, at a cost of $100.00 or so for the season. That usually gets us our games of interest. [...]

If that doesn’t appeal to your inner wild child, what does?
No such poetry has ever graced my car radio. And, yep, I still have an inner wild child. Here’s the band site. $11.99 for a CeeDee; order from [...]
Benny Parsons, NASCAR Winston Cup Champion in 1973, has been diagnosed with lung cancer, and will begin immediate treatment.
Benny is currently an analyst on NBC/TNT’s NASCAR coverage, and also hosts a racing-related show “Fast Talk with Benny Parsons”, on PRN Radio.
Amazingly, according to the article:
He plans to continue his duties with NBC/TNT and PRN throughout [...]
