Peerless Prognosticator NFL Week 1

Greetings from your Prognosticator! It’s good to be back after a 2 year hiatus. I’ve got my charts, data and information banks updated an ready for a brand new season. My pregame infrastructure is in place with a new grill, a pantry full of snacks and a spare fridge packed with anniversary labeled beer. We’re [...]

Happy Birthday, Van!

Van Morrison is 65 today!

This is funny…

Been away from the blog for awhile. Sorry about that. Thought this article was funny. John Mellencamp doesn’t mind using the internet to sell his music, but, be careful out there!

Dog Days of Summer

What a difference a year makes. Remember last summer, the year without a summer? I think we had three days of 90’s and that was it. We had three days of 90 plus just this week and it seems more to come. However, before you complain about how hot it is, three months from now we will be hoping [...]
