UNK T steps out
For the Playoff Postup UNK T has $160 fake dollars remaining in the game. My pix for the final playoff week are as follows:

Doc B is Back
Doc B finally has his home email back. Didn’t see the Vince Young show in Pasadena but seems like he’s a hot commodity. He goes #3 to the Titans. They already have the original linebacker-sized QB, Air McNair (who can throw the rock with anyone), so they should be able to fit the new kid in. Bush goes #1 — no way Texans give up on their QB at this point with this guy available. Leinart goes #2 to the Aints. They just hired a QB coach as they new HC and there’s no way a QB coach passes over a classic drop-back game manager for an athletic guy with an iffy arm like Young. Jets new HC takes Ferguson. Stud OT is safe pick when you know that the team is at least a couple few years away from competing. I saw where the Pack, at #5, are in love with young LenDale. Only problem is he was barely in anyone’s top 20 three weeks ago. Do they reach and hope every Sunday will be a new Rose Bowl or do they risk trading down? More likely the former, as the hype machine gets cranked up. Big mistake is leaking that you got yer eyes on a guy who should normally go much lower than yer pick. Skins did it last year with that Auburn QB and had to scramble to get him in the end.

Holiday Greetings 2006
My first effort at this website business (is this a blog? what’s ‘blog’ in French?). I made a holiday card as a PDF; click here to download at full size.
As y”all may have already inferred, I made this card with a foreign audience in mind. I have lots of foreign collaborators and I thot it would be nice to make them aware of the MLK holiday.

The Beet Goes On
Magic comes in a packet of seeds. Beet seeds are exponentially magical because their ‘seeds” are actually clusters of multiple seeds in a fuzzy nutlet or capsule (see image of magnified seed) which often results in “tufts” of beet seedlings along your careful row, and almost always requires thinning.

Markie’s New Shoes
Dine about Town is going on in San Francisco. Each January many SF restaurants feature $21.95 fixed price lunches and $31.95 dinners. It’s the perfect time for a San Francisco day; lunch and the Chuck Close show at SFMOMA. But wait, it’s the first day of the NFL Playoffs. But wait, the first game isn”t until 1:30, Skins vs. Bucs, and I don”t care about it.
I made reservations at Campton Place for lunch. Asked for 11:30, but the best they could do was 10:15. That’s okay.

9:40pm in the HartsfieldJacksonMartinLutherKingLudacrisHolyfield airport. Just flew in from Naples (and boy are my arms tired!) Naples FL that is. Had to go down to the Ritz Carlton for the weekend to work on a client project. Cold (’bout 55) and windy, but sunny. Had planned to work by the pool but it was too cold. Wait.I think I hear lots of whining from the readers. Life’s a bitch. So, if you are sharp you are wondering why Unk T is in the ATL airport on my lap instead of driving home. Logical question. I am on my way to STL for a meeting tomorrow morning and was routed thru ATL with a 2 hour layover. Life’s a bitch. Continue reading “Tommy Thots”
Food for all appetites
This web site will focus on what these Rector’s focus on most of the time: good food and interesting ideas. Here’s an example of at least one of those: grilled California artichokes on an early Spring evening in Maine.
