Right about this time 2 years ago, I did a very smart thing. Bea and I are currently celebrating in our own unique ways. This post has been pre-written and set up to auto-post at this time, as I am currently hosting a D&D game at my house, and Bea is at roller-derby practice as… Continue reading Bananaversary!

Haaaaaalo, where did you go?
“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, and I understand the precedent it may set, but, I don’t think we need another gaming system.” I actually said that. I know it’s dumb, but I think it was for my own good. See, wha ha happen was1, Bea had spent a rowdy2 night with a… Continue reading Haaaaaalo, where did you go?
A Real Pain in my Ass
So, back in November of 2007, I busted my tailbone while refereeing a rollerderby bout. Ouch. Lately though, in increasing frequency, I’ve been feeling this twinge of pain in my right hip. The trigger is inconsistent, and sometimes it seems to also shoot down my leg, but it’s there. It’s also put a serious damper… Continue reading A Real Pain in my Ass
Why Referees and Skaters shouldn’t date
Yesterday, I proposed to Bea. She said “yes”. That’s all for now.
The gayest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth
This past Friday, Bea and I laced up our skates and headed over to Airline Skate Center, for her Dad’s birthday party. I haven’t laced up my skates since the last roller derby bout I reffed since I retired (they were in a bind, so I helped on one bout), which was in late May… Continue reading The gayest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth
¡Los Toros Viven!
Wow. The Running of the Bulls sure has been getting a lot of press, both locally and (inter)nationally. I had a blast doing it last year, and this year certainly did not disappoint. I’m not going to bother writing a recap of my drunken escapades – instead I’ll just suggest you talk to Herr Googol™and… Continue reading ¡Los Toros Viven!
The Life of a Derby Widow
Hi, my name is Col. Panic (Ret.), and I am a Derby Widow™. Well, not really. I came back to rollerderby for three (technically four) practices on May, to help out the Big Easy Rollergirls with their bout against Orange County. These days, the zeeba herd is thin. Henry Roll-ins and The Countess are gone,… Continue reading The Life of a Derby Widow

Big Weekend.
As much as I hate to admit it, I think I’ll look forward to Monday, with my weekend looking like this: Friday: Main office X-Mas party, other office X-Mas party. Saturday: rollerderby double-header, afterparty Sunday: Cribbage (it is extreme, yo), Saints game, Derby X-Mas party. Busy. And I’m keeping my eyes on other football games… Continue reading Big Weekend.
Bicycle: A Buttdate.
Latest update on the recovering tail bone: I can ride a bike! Hawesome. I’m healing pretty quickly I’d say, but I can tell I still have a while to go. The act of sitting up from a lying down position still hurts (well, more like a bad ache but you get the idea), along with… Continue reading Bicycle: A Buttdate.
