Quote of the Day

My friend Nick mentioned Club Trillion to me this past weekend and because I’ve apparently been living under a rock this basketball season, I’ve never heard of it. A walk-on and former manager of the Ohio State men’s basketball team, Mark Titus is much funnier in blog than I ever thought of being. It’s something I feel Tyler Neville and Ted Dunlap could come up with, if they weren’t too busy living in Cali and starring in Dwayne Wade commercials. That’s what being a walk-on can get you.

“Up next for us is the first round of the NCAA Tournament and the UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos, whose logo kind of looks like Snoop Dogg wearing a pimp hat while lurking in the shadows.” – Mark Titus

FREE CONE DAY!

Stop in to your local Ben and Jerry's between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. for Free Cone Day!

This snuck up on me because I’m so used to Ben and Jerry’s Free Cone Day being in April and there actually being sunshine, but I did Google it and it is official!

Stop in to your local Ben and Jerry’s anytime between noon and 8 p.m. today and receive a complimentary scoop of your favorite flavor atop a lovely sugar cone. For your ease (because free ice cream shouldn’t be hard work), here is Ben and Jerry’s “Scoop Shop Locator” for you to find the nearest one to your home, school or office.

Enjoy!

Update: Just visited the Ben and Jerry’s at 20 Park Plaza in Boston and received my free coffee ice cream cone! Now proceeding to go into a sugar coma for the next hour.

Help Keep Little Kids Thinking Jesus is their Homeboy

Having attended and graduated from a small (11-kids-in-my-class small) Catholic school that was once in serious danger of closing, I applaud grocery magnate Patrick Roche and his wife for donating $20 million in support of Catholic education in Boston.

Not only did I receive a top-notch education while attending Sacred Heart of Jesus School in Highland Falls, NY, I learned to truly care about other people. Many of the friends I made at that school are still my friends to this day, 20 years later.

After threatening to close the school when I was in fifth grade, Bishop John O’Connor himself made a visit, shook hands with every single child, spoke with us and talked to the administration, and decided against it. Sacred Heart went on to receive Middle States accreditation, among other honors, as well as expand its after-school sports and arts programs.

Support your local Catholic schools. Who knows? Your child may grow up to be a blogger AND a good person.
