One of my two readers complained that I was spending too much time talking about Auburn Football. I don’t think you can spend too much time talking about Auburn Football. But since not much is going on down on the Plains and I am a little tired of reading about it and more ready to […]
I still don’t understand why Ole Miss felt they needed to run David Cutcliffe off.
Fortson also became the fourth player to quit the team since preseason practice started, and he is the eighth member of Orgeron’s first signing class to exit the Oxford campus — either for disciplinary reasons, […]

The person who gets the reference above receives a bucket of pride.

One of our IA’s left our project team today. I don’t know if she left the company or moved to another project, but my guess is that she left the company. It’s funny… I can remember how naive I was when I first started with Sapient. I didn’t think I would ever change jobs and […]
