What I learned in Week 7 of the NFL season...

In Week 7 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...all Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton wants for Christmas is a new identity.

- ...a Doug Pederson victory guarantee is worth about as much as a Norm Peterson tab.

-- ..., if Nick Bosa ever runs for president, his slogan will inevitably be, "Make Slip 'N' Sliding On Wet Grass Great Again."

- ...New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton could be told he couldn't use flour or yeast in a pizza bake-off and still win the competition.

- ...New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, nicknamed "Danny Dimes" by his teammates after his first game, is now being nicknamed by opponents as "Danny Ducks."

- ...AARP President Matt Schaub is still playing. Seriously, who knew?!?

- ..., in spirit, former Cardinals head coach Denny Green is repeatedly shouting, "We are not as bad as they thought we were!"

- ...Los Angeles Chargers tailback Melvin Gordon's horoscope was actually accurate this past week, as it read, "Down 3 late against the Ryan Tannehill-led Tennessee Titans, you'll have two touchdowns called back, before fumbling away the game. Tomorrow: Get beyond shit-faced."

- ..., wanting to not finish alongside Detroit and Cleveland at 0-16 for a season, Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is asking Commissioner Roger Goodell to permit his team to schedule the only team they could potentially beat in a 17th regular season game - Rutgers.

- ..., while monkeys like throwing poo, zebras like throwing flags.

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

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...
