    Wendy Wintersteen announcing her retirement as ISU President

    I would be okay with a larger committee bringing a roster of finalists to the Regents to choose, but with the Regents having all of the say from the very beginning (this committee only has Regents as voting members if I read the law correctly) it puts the entire decision making process in a very...

    Vacation in the Black Hills

    We went to a what I think was a mom and pop bagel shop. I'm pretty sure it was Black Hills Bagels. Limited menu including lots of fresh bagels, a variety of cream cheeses and bagel sandwiches. As I remember it's a popular place so it may take a few minutes. Might be a good option for...

    Vacation in the Black Hills

    I have been there twice. Once like 25 years ago and another time about 8 years ago. Granted that was pre-COVID but we didn't have reservations either time.

    Hey 19 - Random Thoughts: In the year 2525...more or less

    So I think I might have mentioned that about 3 weeks ago daughter's gecko got out of his enclosure and was no where to be found. We were starting to think we might not see him again. Yesterday morning after I had traipsed through the living room to the couch in the dark a couple of times and...

    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Now let's see him turn a ground out to third that is actually in the 1st baseman's hand long before he's anywhere near 1st into an RBI double. Yes, I realize it was actually an RBI fielder's choice with an error, but still amazing.

    Friday OT #2 - Hooky

    At my high school we got a certain number of excused absences for school visits our senior year. I had zero chance of even considering going to Iowa, but I may or may not have taken a Friday for a school visit so I could spend a long weekend in the dorm room of a certain Iowa Freshman co-ed...

    Friday OT #2 - Hooky

    My employer has a brilliant plan. After you accrue a large amount of sick time (it carries over) you can get up to your yearly allowance paid back to you at 25%. After you accumulate a ridiculous amount you can get up to your yearly allowance paid back to you at 50%. After you accumulate an...

    NBA: ESPN saved Inside the NBA

    Reactions are not analysis. ESPN's definition of "Analyst" has gotten way off base. In addition I think they are leaning into the E (Entertainment) in their ESPN acronym a bit too much. They should probably start thinking about rebranding to Shock Jock Entertainment and just get it over with...
