Book(s) Update

Well, I got off to a rather slow start this week, but finished stronger than Mike Tyson on steroids. As of a few minutes ago, I'm officially through the footnoting process for the 3rd and 4th books which will be released this year (LOL at the GOP - Volumes 4 and 5). All I have left on the slate for those two books is to proofread and edit them both. Then I'll need a second pair of eyes to do likewise, before I edit them another time, and get them set for publishing.

Well, my work for the week is done. Hopefully my proofreader will get a bit more accomplished this weekend than she did last weekend, and I'll be able to have The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s and The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck (Volumes 2) available before too terribly long. I still have a bit of work to do before all is said and done, but when looking at the grand scope of things and what all I had on my plate as the new year began, I'm quite pleased with what all I've gotten finished.

On that note, I think it's about time I take a break - watch college basketball, listen to music, veg out, and head out later this evening for the start of what will hopefully be a great weekend. I'll be certain to keep everyone updated in the coming days and weeks. Have yourselves a fun (and safe) weekend!

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

Due to some tweets of mine, I got mentioned on the following two sites (all my tweets can be viewed here -  https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki ): https://crooksandliars.com/2019/04/trump-gives-stupid-advice-george https://hinterlandgazette.com/2019/03/istandwithschiff-is-trending-after-donald-trump-led-gop-attack-on-adam-schiff-backfires-spectacularly.html

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
