Notre Dame Closing In On National Championship? |
|
Football This weekend was wild in the world of football. First on the college ranks, the championship picture went topsy-turvy. Both number 1 Kansas State and number 2 Oregon fell.

|
For a few years now, Martin Kelly has been participating in NaNoWriMo. This year, I’m also taking the plunge. What are the odds of me hitting the 50,000 word goal by the end of the month? Not good. Not good at all. However, I’m hoping that the exercise will allow me to find small pockets [...]
