The Happy Moron

Fabio Capello is a man who knows what he’s talking about.
Current manager of England’s national football team, he’s won titles with Real Madrid, Juventus, Roma and Milan – and the Champions League to boot.
When England wanted the man to fix their woes… they called Fabio Capello.
So far, he’s delivered the goods, and he’s done it [...]

Right now the Olympics are going on, and if I have to say one thing about the Olympics, it is that they are old. We’ve been mucking with sport for a long time. What I don’t get is, “Why?”
I think there’s probably a couple posts worth on this topic, but I’ll start out with an [...]

I feel bad that there aren’t very many new posts, so…
Here everyone is!
I’m almost finished my Time Management analysis, so I think I’ll do a final wrap up (while leaving things open to possible future musings).

As it turns out, I needn’t have worried.
My day was pretty much the usual Saturday, with some intervention of work. I was also [...]

And whatever he posts will be well reflected on and thought provoking.

A woman was reading it; I didn’t see the cover, only the heading of the page she had open.
“Chapter 6: Will your child be obsolete by 30?”
Umm… I’m not sure what to make of that.
(Internet research reveals the chapter belongs to the book “Rich Kid, Smart Kid”. Very uncomfortable book for me. I’m not sure [...]

I think, in part, it’s because he plays a different game than everyone else. He plays a game that he likes – a game that makes sense to him.

From the article,
Virgin Racing will operate within a £40m budget – around £100m less than Brawn, who were funded [...]

Whenever I see stuff like this I get real nervous.
But then I remember that they all speak funny languages everywhere else and I calm down again.
