    I’ve said for years that one of the weakest things about soccer is that games can end in ties. With all eyes on Earth watching the World Cup yesterday what do we get? A couple of blowouts. Awesome. And in … Continue reading →

    I don’t usually rely on clickbait expressions to attract listeners to my content, though I do use a provocative word in the title of today’s episode of Math and Musings. Nothing sexy or scandalous, just something always on everyone’s mind… Gas … Continue reading →

    Today’s hot take: the last few days of November, from Thanksgiving until December 1st, are the most useless days of the year. You just want November to be over so Christmas can be in full swing. Of course if you’ve … Continue reading →

    I’ve never seen the Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and I’ve never seen the Jim Carrey version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. If God himself rewrote the Bible or if Tchaikovsky rescored The Nutcracker I wouldn’t touch either … Continue reading →

    It took them 37 years to come up with… vanilla. Sixteen more years to come up with… strawberry. And then, a mere five months later, Wendy’s did it. Peppermint. Frosty. Add one more to the Christmas list. … Continue reading →
