Dixie and Dave: Colorado dispatch

Ah, technology. David Kann is in colorado with my folks and brother and his family. He snapped this picture after dinner on his Iphone, sent send and here it is, for your viewing pleasure. Dixie is truly the six million dollar man, just wrapping up a month or more of daily powder skiing, with his […]

SI.com baseball story

Still crazy and exhausting here. We had our first sandstorm of the year yesterday, always a pleasure. I felt really bummed out yesterday morning, beaten down by the events and feeling really bleak. I have to admit part of it was our internet was down and I was convinced we were targeted as journalists. I […]

Stuff

Well, it’s been a crazy few days around here. I’m sure all of you know about the troubles in T land. Anything with the T word stands to get banned here. I have no idea how this could play to this blog or anything else I do but I don’t really feel like finding out. […]

Olympics gig and update

I can finally say that I ll be working for NBC during the Olympics as their “Beijing blogger.” Details to follow. I am excited. In other Olympics news, this is a little disconcerting. Could it be harbinger of things to come?

All the news that fits the stereotype

Boy, this one is delicious. The New York Times wrote a fawning review and then an even more fawning profile of a book by a half Navaho/half white woman raised in a foster home on the mean streets of LA. She witnessed horrors, bought a burial plot when she sold her first drugs at age […]
