I'm not the most prolific blogger on the planet… not by a longshot…. but just the same…. it's going to be an extended net-break for me and the Mrs as we take some time to recharge the batteries and get moved back into our house.
We're about to enter what I hope is the eighth and [...]

Although it didn't look like it when we were there, the announced crowd of 5,700+ at the FSU baseball game earlier in the week now means Angie and I have been part of record crowds at Baseball, Gymnastics, and Men's Hoops all in the same year.
Some people are little down on the NIT angle of [...]

We're still a week away from opening day for Gator Baseball, but the Softball Team is already 13-0… their best start of the season. I was very happy to see them notch number twelve by manufacturing a run on the top of the ninth and then playing some excellent defense in the bottom [...]

Gainesville, Florida.
We love it.
In early 2003, however, Angie and I were thinking about leaving it.
Both of us had lived in Gainesville before as students, but we just weren't feeling it this time. Both of us had been back a little more than three years and while we were working for UF….. our [...]

I've logged enough work hours this last week to ramble around campus a little longer than normal during a weekday. The weather in Gainesville has been all over the map in January, but today is very typical of the nice days we've had this month so walking around campus today is especially enjoyable … [...]

For most of the last week, I've a had very nasty cold. Sleeping has been restless, dreams bizarre, and I even left a basketball game early. I think Sloan was coaching the last time that happened.
Speaking of hoops, rumor has it, I was even seen in North Carolina recently, pimping [...]

Today, we're hunkered down inside our temporary digs awaiting the start of the Rutgers Hoops Game at 7pm. It's the last game (only for now we hope) where we have some very nice Level 1 seats seven rows behind the oppos bench. Angie has requested spaghetti as a pre-game meal so I'll [...]

We normally experience this in February when baseball overlaps basketball, but for the last three or four days we have found ourselves wanting to do more than we can seemingly find time to do.
I generally like to blame the laundry for such things, but the reality is Angie usually handles that chore. [...]

It's a legitimate candidate for one of the Top 10 Gator sporting events of the year and by everything I've seen from my time around campus early today, it looks like Gator Fans for the most part are heeding the color call.
We're feeling a bit blue as well… but not for clothing related reasons. [...]

To look at this shot you wouldn't think the game would end up being called on account of weather. However, after 51-plus minutes of game time that is exactly what did happen as a a series of storms from the south and the east joined forces and rolled across Gator Nation HQ… mercifully [...]

We're about to head out of the house to see what's happening around campus. While we'll have some additional content later…. we're also going to try some “on the move” content as well.
We've created a blog over at Tumblr called “It Happened in Hogtown.”
A little later we'll get more creative with the title and [...]

I'm not sure what you have been doing for the last couple of weeks. However, the lovely wife and I have been toiling away for the big “F.”
She's been wrestling with a variety of tasks over in the world of the business school where she works with several MBA program (Executive, Professional, and Internet) [...]

For several months, on almost any Sunday at 10:30am, you can probably find Angie and I at Jeff's at 23rd Avenue Street on the northwest side of town. However, there was a time when we would scour the county in search of a new place to eat breakfast each week. Those adventures were [...]

Summer's Over.
If you didn't know that, it is probably because your measuring stick is the weather (90's and broiling here in G'ville as of late), baseball is equally red hot (serious pennant and wild card races right now), and Bourne remembers (he remembers everything).
But here's how we have it figured out at our [...]

The very famous City of Alachua fireworks show was very tempting to us tonight, but we decided to keep it simple and visit our favorite Gainesville ice cream shop instead. Since we weren't sure if they were open, we did call ahead and surprisingly, my excitement was not matched by the person on [...]

Take 2 …
In my current job with the University of Florida, my work with graduate students and their search for on-campus housing doesn't always follow the normal patterns of semesterly check-in and check-out. So I actually had to ask someone last week, “When does Summer B start?” From my perspective… it could [...]

Even living in Gainesville… it is still nice to have a vacation here. At this very moment, we're parked on the patio of The Swamp, watching the Cubbies jump out to a 1-0 lead in the first. Two tropical drinks and a pitcher of Blue Moon are already on the board [...]

After taking some time away from the blog (and the online world in general) it seems a bit fitting to resume things on the heels of Coach Donovan's BIG ANNOUNCEMENT(S). When we last chimed in from this location… the story was the DEPARTURE of some other Gator Hoopsters.
Transition is indeed a way of life… [...]
