Terry Hays, “Swimming to Salvation”

Terry Hays, “Swimming to Salvation” (acrylic on wood) I can’t claim I understand Terry Hays’ work, not even a little bit. But the Christian-ish allegory with an Eastern flair of the above is striking. Those flames at the upper right look like they could have been spewed by these sorts of demons. The ichthus design

Watching Slovenia-US…

…and it is the 42 minute mark, and Slovenia is up 2-0, and really should be up 3-0 or 4-0. I don’t know a thing about football/soccer, but I do know giving Slovenia a ton of free kicks and being overmatched consistently when on offense (one or two against a swarm of defenders) aren’t good

For my Canadian readers…

Interview with David Sullivan (gbudavid on various social media sites)

Note: Yes, I’m busy, still. David was gracious enough to provide me with this so I wouldn’t have to spend too much time putting together a blog entry. Many thanks to him for helping out.

If they stay the course, odds are they would be right back in the thick

On Giants-Eagles, 12/9 – Are You McNabb Haters Going To Blame Him For This One?

Let’s get this out of the way now: that Giants pass rush is ferocious, and with targets like L.J. Smith and Reggie Brown doing their best to jog to and sit down in completely covered zones, McNabb’s avoiding the rush was quite frankly spectacular. He’s moving incredibly well and with good speed.
