What I learned in Week 12 of the NFL season

In Week 12 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...it is possible for your entire team to come down with Coronavirus and be the happier brother on Thanksgiving (John Harbaugh, compared to Jim).

- ...if you're blind, in a wheelchair, but have one functioning arm, you could be the next quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

- ..., if Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn's concept of time were any worse, he'd work at a cable company.

- ...taking a knee will likely mark the beginning and end of the marriage between Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly.

- ...the New York Jets are so bad, those seven words will soon replace yo-mama-is-so-fat jokes.

- ..., at the rate they're going, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers' New Year's resolution will be to play the game which was originally scheduled for Thanksgiving.

- ...the pencils behind the ears of Matt Patricia will finally come in handy - as he will soon be signing unemployment checks.

- ..., if Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon were still around, chances are they'd be working on a film called "The Old Couple," where they played the parts of Bruce Arians and Tom Brady.

- ..., given all of the severe injuries and COVID-related setbacks, the popular online game this year should be referred to as "Nobody's Fantasy Football."

- ..., given what's transpired since, it seems increasingly likely that New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is the Curse of Antonio Brown's agent and sent him to NFC South rival Tampa.

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...
