Television Coverage FIRE JOE BUCK. He’s not a great baseball announcer, but he’s worse at football. I realize I may be the only person in the country who feels this way: A Twitter search for #firejoebuck came back empty. Troy Aikman, on the other hand, is a great analyst. I may be prejudiced, since we’re…

The State of the Kestrel and of the Aerie
About 5 minutes ago, I tweeted, "I *want* to write, but I have nothing to write *about.* At least, nothing that anyone but me would want to read. Meh." About 3 minutes ago, I was reading Darren Rowse’s latest update at ProBlogger. While my blogging empire isn’t as expansive as Darren’s doesn’t exist, I dimly…
Friday Five: Best Lagers
It’s midsummer (regardless of all the back-to-school stuff): The PGA Championship is underway, baseball’s pennant races are heating up, NFL training camps are in full swing, and you’re about to start choosing your can’t-miss fantasy team. Even if you’re not a sports fan, you’ve noticed the heat index is in the "hot as hell" range….
“Best Ever” Carrot Cake?
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I spent a couple hours on Monday baking a carrot cake, at my daughter-in-law’s request. I don’t recall how, exactly, I was conned roped cajoled into convinced to do this, but I think I simply volunteered.1 So since she and Alison are up here for the better…
Odyssey Concluded
Welcome back to what is part 3 or 4 (maybe 5?) of our four-week journey last month from Rapid City to St. Louis to Los Angeles to Los Osos and back to Rapid City. Whew! That took almost as long to type as it did to drive! Los Angeles As I related yesterday,, we arrived…
Odyssey Continued
When last I left you, I was writing from Los Angeles (or thereabouts); however, I never related the story of getting there from Amarillo. And believe me, there is some story to be had! Amarillo to Winslow On Tuesday the 17th, we woke early and were on the road for what was a short day…
Quick Update
Dateline: Amarillo, TX. It’s been ~25 years since I last drove through Texas, and while this time, we’re only traversing the panhandle from east to west, I’m still confident I didn’t lose anything here to come back for. We finished up my son’s deck on Sunday, despite having to start over (he had a small issue…
On the Road Again
Saturday morning, Mrs. Kestrel and I, together with our middle son who lives here in Rapid City, will fly to Los Angeles, where we’ll meet up with our other sons (flying in from St. Louis and New York City). We’ll then head up to California’s Central Coast—the Morro Bay/Los Osos/San Luis Obispo area—for a family…
Hawai’i Calls!
First, why "Hawai’i" and not "Hawaii"? Simple: The Hawaiians (no apostrophe), native and officially, prefer the former. "When in Rome…" For me, it’s a matter of respect. Alrighty then…now that’s out of the way, what’s the point? The point is, in about 20 hours, Mrs. Kestrel and I will start driving mostly west and some…
If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Chicago
Okay, I admit it: I’m a baaaaad blogger. I’ve known for a month I’d be out of town Tue – Thu to attend a supervisor conference in Chicago. I may have even referred to my absence in passing, once or twice. However, I like to at least forewarn repeat visitors and those of you kind…
