Where in the world is Yanik Silver? (catching up…)
Whoa.. Looking at the last post it’s been awhile. Sorry. I wanted to catch you up on some business stuff and adventures. #1: Let’s start with our last Maverick Business Adventures Ultimate Baja experience… This was our 2nd time (and my 3rd) going off-road Baja racing. It still seems somewhat crazy that they get you take these Porsche-powered dune buggies 80mph+ through nearly any type of terrain. It probably wasn’t more than 30 minutes into leaving the ranch when my co-driver and b

Nothing Going On in Nashville…
Or at least it’s eerily quiet in Titanville, and it has been for some time now. So quiet in fact, that the local paper is running stories about the economy , traffic stops , local cuisine and the housing market. In the sports section. To be fair, there hasn’t been a whole lot of news to report over the past week, but we could take a look at some things that may be coming down the pipeline in the next few weeks and months (in no particular and somewhat reverse order). That is, unless you wa
Não foi no sétimo dia que a vida fez sentido
Tenho pensado em me dedicar a outro blog, de teor profissional. Algo que esteja mais próximo do meu trabalho, sem tanta música, sem tanto ruído, sem o calor do momento. O Usina desde o início, lá em 2005, falou de tudo um pouco. Fez rodeios em cinema, literatura, música, muita música. E falou de mim, da vida, das coisas da minha vida. Não achei ruim, e ainda fico com dó quando passo tempos sem atualizá-lo, mas percebi que isso de me sentir mal por ficar longe daqui faz parte de uma necessidade
RazorBits: Fit To Win
RBN tidbits from around the web. * Billy Gillispie was fired at Kentucky because he was apparently not the “ right fit .” And if “fit” was really what Kentucky wanted right now, then Rick Pitino’s recommendation of John Pelphrey or Travis Ford might be more relevant. But the truth is, as a scathing editiorial by the Lexington Herald-Leader’s Mark Story suggests, “fit” has nothing to do with the courting of John Calipari. More like the desperate attempt of a school’s administration to
Man-Step In The Name Of Love, or, Why is Howie Long being such a dick
GateHouse — Once newspapers fade away entirely, which might have happened already (if you’re reading this online, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES), I have plans to retire into a quiet academic life filled with study, a collection of about 90 pipes and a vague air of patronizing superiority and teach a grad-level course on Advertisements For Trucks. Because I don’t care where you are or who you came from, you can spend hours, literally PRIMALLY REWARDING HOURS, studying these magnificent little nugge
Andalusia Off The Beaten Path: Top 5 Hidden Treasures
During the sun-baked summer months, the beaches of Andalusia are a magnet for sun worshipers and water sports enthusiasts. Spain’s most southerly region is a popular tourist draw for its stunning coastline, and also its wild mountainous regions, and the beauty of many of its cities such as Seville and Granada . However, if that’s ‘all’ you see you might be short-changing yourself as the area has many other charms and hidden corners that are well worth putting on your itinerary.
Joe Collier on being older
I am now 67 and am having the time of my life. Inevitably, the way I am feeling and acting now is the product of both my age and my recent retirement, and the exact contribution of the two components is difficult to disentangle. I actually retired from being an academic with an active role in the medical establishment two years ago, and to minimise the “shock” of retirement I had started my withdrawal several years earlier. So, by around the age of 63 years, I had cut my weekly “hours” from abo
On The Memphis Tigers (Kool-Aid Drinking)
UPDATE (3/30) : What is “Kool-Aid”? It is the loss of all clear logic caused by heavy dosages of sugary praise and affirmation, which lead to heightened perception of self and self-worth that, over time, become delusional in light of undeniable facts that challenge said perception of self. Commercial Appeal columnist and social Kool-Aid drinker Geoff Calkins tries to rationalize Cal’s interest in the vacant coaching position at Kentucky as reported by ESPN Sunday.
