Thanksgiving 2015
I went home for Thanksgiving. On the way I saw the Delta Porsche, but didn’t get a ride in it. While at home I went to my first escape room and celebrated my mom’s birthday.

Root Cause
Last week I was at the airport and read a headline saying the release of a video was going to tear Chicago apart. It rubbed me the wrong way because it seemed to be putting the responsibility on the releasing of the video instead of the content of the video. YouTube has around 18,000 hours…

Kentucky is 5-7
Kentucky is now 5-7 and the season is over. The season ended with a 38-24 loss to Louisville after jumping out to a 24-7 halftime lead.

College Basketball Season
College basketball season is here. It started over the weekend, but for me really kicked off last night when Kentucky played Duke and won. It was their third game of the season, but the first against a top tier team. Excluding defensive rebounding I think they looked pretty good. Since Kentucky basketball has returned I…

Kentucky fell to Vandy 21-17 in Nashville this weekend, making their record 4-6. Kentucky now has to win out to become bowl eligible. The next game is Saturday against Charlotte. The undefeated list lost a member this weekend with Baylor falling to Oklahoma, and nearly lost Houston who won a close game against Memphis. Minnesota…
