The Heart Chronicle (Part 3)

Posted on 4:28 AM by ergeg
[This is the third installment of a multiple-chapter essay on my recent heart surgery. Scroll down to read Parts 1 and 2.] In the early morning of Feb. 13, about nine hours before my release from Vanderbilt Medical Center, I became increasingly emotional. Sitting there in the dark, my roommate asleep but snoring on the other side of the partition—my short-term ordeal coming near to its end—I

The Heart Chronicle (Part 2)

Posted on 10:12 PM by ergeg
[This is the second installment of a multiple-chapter essay on my recent heart surgery. Scroll down to read Part 1.] Following my surgery, I have some vague recollection of being wheeled somewhere and perhaps even of being on an elevator.

I had driven myself to the hospital after experiencing strange chest discomfort and increasing pain, of a sort that would make any aware person realize that action was needed. I wasn’t exactly sure what was wrong, of course,

Hattiesburg or Bust: Where the Horny Sports Guys Go

Posted on 7:16 PM by ergeg
Hattiesburg, Mississsippi: Home of the University of Southern Mississippi, Brett Favre’s college career...and horny disgraced sports figures. Until today, I had missed the story about former Mets GM and former ESPN baseball guy Steve Phillips’ sex addiction travails. I wondered (sort of) where Phillips was on ESPN hot stove coverage, though I was never a fan of his bluster and I can’t say that I

Saints, Sinners, Losers, Winners: Super Bowl-ing in Nashville

Posted on 6:14 AM by ergeg
Nope, I have no problem with the Saints winning the Super Bowl. Good for them, and always cool to see a previous non-SB winner join the esteemed club. Now let’s get working on the Browns, Lions, Eagles, Bengals, Titans, Texans, Jaguars, Panthers, Falcons, Chargers, Vikings, Bills, Cardinals and Seahawks. (Man, that’s a LOT of teams who have never won a Super Bowl in a supposedly parity-rich
