There is a picture or two, but nothing too special, aside from the best dance show by a 7 year old in modern history. The nice part about Columbus is their new smoking ban. Two trips to the bar and a stop at Waffle House and not even a hint of &#8220;that old bar smell&#8221;. It&#8217;s awesome. It kind of killed the bar atmosphere a little early, but I really didn&#8217;t mind. The people I cared to drink with were still around.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s more frustrating about the NHL lockout, that its still going on, or that they set a new &#8220;drop dead&#8221; date every other day. Right now, with the most recent &#8220;deadline&#8221; having passed, if they were to start the season today, it would be a whole 28 games long, barely a third of a regular season. While I&#8217;d like to see hockey back, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going to happen, and I really don&#8217;t know that I could get into a 28 game season. The scary thing now is that they&#8217;re already talking about blowing off NEXT season as well. How could they possibly expect to have ANY fans if they take two years off, and still have no guarantee of a third season after that? It&#8217;s just silly.<\/p>\n<p>Completely randomly, how did the Grammy folks get the old school James Brown back? Of course, regardless of how much like a sex machine he looked, I still couldn&#8217;t stop thinking about <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ebaumsworld.com\/index.php?e=jamesbrown.wmv\">this clip<\/a>. I feel good! HA!<\/p>\n<p>He did a great job of passing Karl Malone and his cowboy hat for the title of &#8220;silliest thing I saw today&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trip to Columbus was good, but way too short.
