High School football is changing in Connecticut.
Seems the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference has decided that coaches whose teams win by more than 50 points are worth of suspension.
The new policy to suspend coaches who don’t reign in their teams in intended to promote sportsmanship and keep the losing team from feeling bad!!

05.24The citizenship test
I thought this was interesting, what with all the fuss these days.
I talked to a guy on Sunday who was studying for citizenship. He knew a lot of facts and stuff I learned in school that I’ve just simply forgotten. It’s easy being born here…

I haven’t bought a video game system in over 10 years (I think), but [...]
