Am I the only person who thinks something is wrong with an old slave house being in a city called Equality, Ill.
I guess I’ll chalk this one in the “Things That Scare Me About Southern Illinois” category.
One of the many road trip games we played last weekend was “…Better Than Sex” in which we described things that were, in fact, better than sex. And really, that might seem like a chore for college guys … who apparently dream about sex all day. But not for us. And yesterday, I added writing a feel-good feature story to my list.
I spent a pleasant afternoon at the Shawnee Hills Country Club covering the United Way of Saline County’s Clothes For Kids Golf Tournament. I walked the front nine with a group of high school golfers, who taught me some ins-and-outs and gave me some quality insight.
Also, they made me feel like I missed out on part of my life by not golfing. I think if I had to make a new years resolution right now, it would be to pick up the game of golf. Oh, and to buy a boat and go fishing. If you’re in Southern Illinois right now, you would know that this is perfect fishing weather.
On the back nine, I got to visit with some other important groups.
Anyway, read the story. It made me feel good to write it and I think you will feel the same way after you read it.

There have been a multitude of reasons I have not been able to sleep in recent weeks. I’ll dive into those later. But tonight, the argument between this couple outside of my apartment window takes the cake. I can’t even complain because it was so darn entertaining.
And it’s still going on.
For his sake, I hope the make up sex is great.
On Wednesday, yours truly celebrated his Michael Jordan birthday with a celebration that included an ad in the newspaper, an entire chicken dinner, two bottles of champagne and a toast with some of my closest friends.
Over the last 365 days, I’ve experienced so much and learned so much more. Highlights? Ha. Where do I start? Since my 22nd birthday, these 10 significant events have happened:
So, how do I top that? I’m not even sure yet.
All I know is this. I’ll never write engaging prose as my current idol, Will Leitch. I’ll never be as witty as my other sports blogging idol, Ken Tremendous. I’ll never be as smooth with the ladies as Derek Jeter.
But I’ll be damned if I don’t try. I’ve got 360something days to figure it out. But for now, it’s time to continue my recovery from my party.
I Love Beth Cooper will be one of two things:
Here’s hoping the folks at 20th Century Fox got it right.

Yeah, the Bulls just might miss a guard who scored 20 PPG last season.
Happy Father’s Day, from The Maury Show.
(Seriously, you must have Maury on speed dial or be on his Christmas Card list if you’ve been on his show 9 times.)
Call me nuts, but I’d date Lindsay Lohan. Oftentimes, baseball GMs talk about taking on a pitcher who once had good stuff but has fallen recently on hard times. This is commonly known as a “reclamation project.”
I’d date Lindsay. Would you?
