For the first time in 1o years I will not be sitting in a conference room sometime in August drinking beer with the guys and proudly calling “Reggie Bush” with my first pick.  No pizza and beer and “When is Ravens bye week?”.   The good ole ACFL (that would be Automated Catalogue Football League) has [...]

Going to try again

In: About Spencer

I’ve been in a dour mood for the past month, so last night I decided to just be in a better mood.  I get married in a little over a month, no need for real life to bring me down.
So how did the first day of the new me start?
Ate a banana that didn’t agree [...]

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above.
