Well the UF College of Health and Human Performance has finally decided to allow Florida Crew to post their page again. If you’ve never been to the site, spend a few minutes there. When I was on crew [the jurassic period] my boat once whipped a boat from RPI. When you beat a crew on the water (if it’s a *real* race) the losers have to give their shirts to the winners. I am the only one I know that owns a red RPI tank top. My best friend and his older brother both went to RPI for a time. I could go on for pages, but the point is that there is no point to this post …

The space shuttle Endeavour launched this afternoon. I was lucky enough to live in Daytona Beach, FL when I was a kid so I was able to see this many, many times … My mom took us to Cape Canaveral to see one of the very first launches. Incredible. Awe-inspiring. Loud.
Less Than Jake
I saw Less Than Jake last night at The Hollywood Palace. Amazing concert. I love those guys. One of the songs from their new album is called Gainesville Rock City. (The CD case has a spinner-dial on the back that tells you the mileage between numerous cities and Gainesville, Florida. Very cool.) The encore began

If you live in the Gainesville / Ocala Florida COX Cable market you have a chance to see my mom on television. She’s in the currently-airing COX Happy Holidays commercial, sitting at her desk and waving at the camera. Wave to her and tell her how much you love being a COX Cable subscriber. Hi,
weather in Los Angeles and Florida
<understatement>One of the little differences between California and Florida is the weather.</understatement> Today we are under a “Severe Wind” warning. What the heck does that mean? In Florida we were always under “Thunderstorm” warnings or “Tornado” warnings” or “Torrential Freakin’ Downpour” warnings. I don’t really know what to do to prepare for “Severe Wind”. I

About 200 years ago I used to work at a place called InterLink Paging in Gainesville, FL with a woman named Anita. I worked there for years. During the holiday season, Anita would always talk to me about a song called Walking ‘Round in Women’s Underwear sung to the tune of Walking in a Winter
Gator Links
The Florida Team Report from CBS For the first time in nearly a decade, both No. 8 Florida and No. 13 Georgia come into “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” with every reason to believe they can win a title with a victory Saturday. This is a game that has earned something of a mythical
Gainesville Is Tops
Your experience inside the place, where Florida has lost only four times in 11 seasons, may not be the best. But look at a game experience as the whole package.
Long Run
Last night I went on what I think is my longest run ever. Nine miles. <Reverend Jim from Taxi> That’s a lotta runnin’. </Reverend Jim from Taxi> It felt good. Yes, my legs are a bit rubbery now. But also, yes, I managed to sweat out (hopefully) whatever lingering impurities were in my system from
Pawtucket, RI
I was born in Pawtucket, RI … when I was kid at St. Paul’s elementary school in Daytona Beach, FL, I used to always feel a special connection to Jesus because I, too, had been INRI … Wow! I thought I was the only one who ever thought that …
