Playoffs

Yesterday on the FAN, Joe and Evan were analyzing the Jets’ dwindling playoff chances. I have to admit — earmuffs, Robby — they were more bullish than I am at the moment. Their conversation brought to mind a recent family discussion about what Ricky likes most. Of course, we then started ranki…

Barry Wins — And Then Thanks Ricky!

Oh, sure, I was around in 2004 and 2008, but I didn’t take part in those elections the way I did this year. I mean . . . my own blog? And actually being allowed inside the polling place? They didn’t know quite what to make of me at first: B-Man asked a campaigner outside if it would be all right…

Sandy, Chris, Barry, and Mitt

Bummer! No debate this week. Though I couldn’t have watched it, anyway; we still have no power, thanks to Hurricane Sandy — or “Super Storm Sandy,” as they’re now calling it on radio. Cute. Come to think of it, how am I going to watch Brad and Carrie hosting the CMA’s tonight? I suppose we cou…

The Beagle Has Landed

Yeah, yeah, yeah — the beagle actually landed four weeks ago. I know that. I thought of this title the day after writing “It’s a Wrap,” my first post LA/XC-2 report, and have been wishing I’d used it ever since. Sort of the way Barack felt, I’m sure, on October 4, when he thought of all his gre…

I Want To Kiss A Dog

Yes, of course this title is a play on Keith Urban’s I Want To Kiss A Girl. You know I pretty much spend my life riding shotgun in Beagle Man’s car, and I know every song on his iPod by heart. So today Dogster ran a headline — Do You Kiss Your Dog? You Might Wanna Stop — and it went on to say tha…

Barry Growls Back

Three debates down, one to go. Lots of late nights for moi! I liked hearing Barry growl last night — though howling would have been even better. My personal opinion? He kicked Seamus’s dad’s butt. Of course, it didn’t hurt having that Candy lady on our side. 🙂 Actually, I thought both cand…

Mock Debate

Mrs. Beagle Man thought the veep did real well last night, holding down the fort while Barry licked his wounds and got ready for next week. “Sort of Biden his time?” B-Man said. They both thought this was a riot. The thing that impressed me was what a great guy old Joe is. I’ve always liked…

You Snooze, You Lose

Anyone watch the whole debate last night? I listened all day to the analysis on CNN and Fox News (I like to hear what the elephant-guys are thinking) — and then I fell asleep one minute in, right after Mitt wished Barrack and the Mrs. a happy anniversary! Damn! I do enjoy my sleep: I probably…
