Shakespeare’s Sonnet 106
In college I read all of Shakespeare’s sonnets. The one I picked to memorize was #106. Shakespeare’s sonnet #106 When in the chronicle of wasted time, I see descriptions of the fairest wights, And beauty making beautiful old rhyme, In praise of ladies dead, and lovely knights, Then in the blazon of sweet beauty’s best, […]
Writing Update
For those who are wondering, I am still writing on book 2. I just reached the 50% point of my first draft to Book 2, which is a big deal. I thought I would jump in and drop and excerpt from what is currently the first chapter of Book 2. “Positions.” Lexy ordered. I stepped […]
Rivalries are awesome! Hate is not. Let’s respect our opponents. Talking up your opponent only makes the winning team look better. Tearing down an opponent only makes the win look less impressive.

BYU 41 – 33 Virginia
Virginia decided to show up and play to win. They looked like a team that could knock off a ranked opponent, and not just because they knocked off #21 Louisville last week. They played with similar power against the Cougars. As expected, the quarterback running had a big impact on the first drive, resulting in […]
The first 25 minutes for BYU, it seemed the only wrong they could do was commit penalties, but it didn’t matter, ’cause they could make up for them. The rest of the game, BYU looked average at best. For the entire game, both BYU and Houston looked mistake prone. BYU seemed able to overcome the […]
