Intl_Baba Day is Here…Summer Will Soon Be Gone.

Business first…the latest column entry is on Prince, and I had a piece run last week on Allen Iverson for ESPN. Being the Prince junkie I am, I couldn’t go more than one entry without putting him in the column. The over/under was probably zero, though.

But really, was summer ever really here? I’ve finally reached the point where summer is just like the rest of the months…just hotter. No rest for the weary or the wicked. That’s double bad for me.

This week…teaching, radio, MJ, and this week’s playlist.

August 19, For Jon…

Really, I swear that this isn’t gonna turn into my LiveJournal. It won’t. But, if you’re willing to see what I’m listening to during a week, I hope you’d be interested in knowing why this day, out of every year, might be the most important. Though International Baba Day is a holiday in myriad third-world countries, it means much less to me than today.

Today is Jonathan Boone’s birthday. Don’t know who he is? Read on…

One month in…

Seems long this time, but it’s a quick read, folks.

Starts with a thank you. I have no idea if this is good or not, but BomaniJones.com has registered over 1,000 hits since its inception. That might be terrible, but unless my mother, my daddy, and the Seuss have logged in 333 times apiece, that’s more than I could have expected. Thanks to everybody that came to the site in the first month. And for those of you adding to the second thousand, send me a note and i can add you to the mailing list. That’ll save you the time of clicking on your own to find out if there’s been an update.

And now, the randomness begins…

It’s On Like a Pot of Neckbones

Business…the column starts today. Click here, go, and enjoy.

Exams start tomorrow. I feel good. That’s all for now on that.

And now, on the column, Rick James, and some nagging sentimentality…and profanity will be at an absolute minimum, Barbara. That minimum is not likely to be zero, though.

Eight Days to Sunrise…or Sunset?

Business first…pieces this week on ESPN and the BSN. Sports fans, enjoy. Non-sports fans…click if you love me. Actually, just click if you tolerate me.

Eight days until exams, and I’m at home writing this, getting past an overhang. Who knows how to say “burnout” in Espanol? But, not trucking through it means teaching high school, and that won’t be cool in any language.

What the hell…let’s just have some fun this go ’round.
