No reception in the deep woods - no posting until Monday.
Hopefully a weekend in the woods is what I need. Have a great weekend everyone!
Tough talk, back story, key lines

You have to watch Obama’s acceptance speech realising that he’s not talking to us, he’s talking to the people who have never listened before.
My roommates were transfixed, having never paid much attention to politics before. They weren’t even mad I made them pause Madden.
“I’m not taking a 10% chance on change.”

I have a day off from work tomorrow.
Is it “weird” to go to the beach (read: Coney Island) by yourself?

The end of the force-out rule — this year, if a defender shoves a receiver out of bounds when he could have gotten his feet down, it’s an incompletion — is a good change. The old rule simply asked the impossible of the zebras; a time machine and an alternate universe were required to be sure whether a receiver otherwise would have come down inbounds. But the end of the...
