Sarah and I have nearing hit the home stretch of the baby countdown (see the naming poll to your right) and I thought it might be fun to tell you readers (or reader… I am not sure I have multiple readers) a story about the beginning of the Sean & Sarah era. In the comic book world they call this an origins story.
Well after Sarah and I had been dating for about six months and about half of that being long distance (is Terre Haute to Indy considered long distance?) I decided that I might just want to marry this girl. Why? Sarah tempted me with promises of a life full of Fruity Peebles, Candy Corn-peanuts snake mix and Persimmon Pudding. With that knowledge in mind, I got a ring and decided to put together a plan to ask this lady to marry me.
I figured that since Sarah and I were still in college the best way to ask would be at her sorority formal. I know, I know, 13 years later that seems really lame. It seemed at the time to be hella romantic. Anyhow the week before the formal I was going to drive to Sarah’s hometown and ask here dad’s permission, but for some reason I could not get there (maybe work, I don’t really remember) so I had to call and do it on the phone. I still remember making the call and being really nervous, so when Papa Jim got on the line, I could barely speak, which does not happen to me often. I remember asking him for his first born's hand in marriage and I got what seemed like 20 seconds of silence. I thought for sure he was going to hang up on me and who could blame him? We had only been dating for like six months and Sarah was still a junior in college. Come to think of it, I am not sure what we were thinking? If Caeleigh’s future boyfriend tries to pull that stunt I will have to put my foot on his neck. Anyway Jim finally said he thought that it would be fine. Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but I like to think that he has warmed to me over the years.
So the following weekend was the big Zeta formal in Terre Haute, yes I proposed in TH! I bought a sweet J. Riggins suit for the big occasion (nothing but the best for the big fella) and off we went to the formal. The Zeta’s have a little bit of a strange tradition, they invite there parents to their Spring Formal (nothing like getting sloshed and making out in front of Mom and Dad!), which I always thought was straight weird. But really, who am I to say anything? I was proposing at what is essentially a broken-down college prom. So Sarah parents were in attendance which was cool, so they could see the whole thing go down.
Well before the big candlelight ceremony (which is when I was going to drop the bomb on Sarah), the DJ called all the fathers and daughters out to the dance floor to have a father-daughter dance to kickoff the formal. Now this DJ was a kid we knew for school and he was about as sharp as a bowling ball. Let’s just say this kid lived on the 420 highway and leave it at that. So what song did he chose to play for said Father-Daughter dance? I’ll Make Love to You by Boy II Men! That was how the tone was set for the evening, nothing like a little musical suggestion of incest to kickoff the night I am going propose.
Well after that smashing start we did the candlelight. Basically all the girls standing in a circle and a candle goes around for each romantic event, lavaliere, pinning and engagement. The guys stand behind their dates as this is happening and the candle stops on the victim, I mean lucky girl. So once they announce engagement I whisper in Sarah’s ear “what sucker would do this here?” and her response “yeah, I know, how lame, right?”
Not exactly what I was looking for, but I set my set up for it.
So then the candle stops on her and I swear she thought it was joke. Her face had this “yeah right” look on it... but then I took her to the center of the circle and dropped to one knee and asked. Her answer? Of course she said yes, I mean, I was wearing a J. Riggins suit and no one turns down a J. Riggins suit proposal!
So 13 years later we have a house, two cars, one kid here, another on the way and a pet squirrel in the backyard. Yes we are living the American Dream.

A Very Reavo Christmas
I am a major Christmas freak… I love all things Christmas except the weather; bah humbug on you weatherman! But back to the good stuff, let me tell you just a few of the reasons I love Christmas so friggin much.
Traditional Christmas Carols sang by Today’s Entertainers – You have not lived until you have gotten your Christmas groove on to the First Noel by N’SYNC! Reavo fun fact -my favorite Christmas song is Baby Its Cold Outside by Dean Martin.
New Christmas Songs (meaning anything post 1970) – I have news for you horrible individuals who say you hate Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime, so listen up. If you feel that way you must be a child of Satan and there will be a special place in hell for you upon leaving this life. Don’t mess with Sir Paul’s Holiday tune! I also am a big fan of Step into Christmas by Elton John and Christmas all over Again by Tom Petty.
Hickory Farms – I love me some Hickory Farms! Christmas without a log of Summer Sausage is sacrilegious.
Eggnog – Best. Drink. Ever. Ok maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement, buts let say it’s the best egg based drink of all time. Fun Fact - The origins of eggnog can be traced all the way back to the 18th century according to Wikipedia, so it must be true.
It’s a Wonderful Life- I hate NBC for rationing our It’s a Wonderful Life viewing! I loved the old days when It’s a Wonderful Life was on every channel on the dial at least once a day… curses to you NBC. I still love this movie. Is it mad hokey? Hell yes, but I still tear up every time an angel gets its wings. Take that old man Potter!
Mimosa’s on Christmas Morning – A Reaves family tradition that makes dealing with the family just a little bit easier by being tipsy. Also a fun side effect is when you have to put your kid’s toys together, being drunk up the difficulty factor by 10 and really challenge yourself. A few years back a Barbie Dream House took me 4 hours and 6 Mimosas to put together.
Shopping without a list – I love it when people give me a list of the things they would like for Christmas and I blow it up and buy not one thing on the list. Why? Because, I want you to be surprised and delighted Christmas morning! I don’t want you to know what you are getting, hells bells why even wrap presents if you know what you’re going to get!
A Very Brady Christmas - One of the dopest (is dopest a word?) made for Holiday TV movies ever. Best of all the whole original cast got back together for this mess except Cindy (who was always my least favorite of the Brady's) . The role of Cindy was filled by the hot chick from Charles in Charge which may go down as one of the greatest TV free agent pick ups of all time. This is some of the worst writing and acting of all time, but I love it all the same!
Grandmas Biscuits and Gravy – No Christmas is complete with out Grandma Bonnie’s Biscuits and Gravy with a side of bacon and coffee.
The count down is on folks, 23 days till the fat man in the red suit goes on his world tour (skipping all Paul McCartney haters – coal for you!) so you better be good!

The Stand Comic Book
My favorite book of all time is The Stand by Stephen King. If you have not read this book you are missing out. Don’t give me that I don’t read horror novels baloney sauce because The Stand is hardly a horror novel. If anything it is adventure novel with some sci-fi elements. Think of it as Lord of the Rings meets I Am Legend. Well the good people at Marvel comics have created The Stand Comic book series and I have just finished the second of the thirty edition series. I can tell you that is a superior effort. The art is breath taking the story telling detailed with out letting the story drag. It is a must pick up for any King fan or comic book geek.
Blog-Worthy?
I have been MIA recently… Why? I am not really sure, I guess not much has happened that I feel is blog-worthy. Now I have recently been using the blog to pick football games (for entertainment purposes only). Unfortunately I was so bad it at picking games it got depressing, so I have suspended that for the time being (meaning forever). In other news my wife has started a blog (I know, what a copy cat right?) detailing our impeding arrival so feel free to take a gander if you are in need of a little sleep aid. Actually it is not half bad; however she does something called spell-check, which removes all the gritty realism of a blog like mine. Well feel free to give Sarah's blog a read if you like, but be for warned, she talks about be gassy.

NFL Picks Week 7
Oh my, how did we get so far off track? Last week should have been a good one. I made what seemed like at the time all the correct picks. But again the wheels came off and I had my worst week yet this season. Worst yet my season total dipped below the 50/50 mark. Lets see if I can pull this thing out of the crapper and make up some ground this week.
49ers (+10) at Giants- I like the G-men here. The trip from the west coast is tough and the 1:00pm game is even tougher. Its a big number but I think the G-Men cover.
Steelers (-9 1/2) at Bengals- While the Bengals have the worst record in football, they are not regularly being blown out which makes 9 1/2 a home versus a division rival troubling. I am taking the Bengals and home they can keep it close.
Titans (-9) at Chiefs- I am taking the Titans here in what should prove to be a ugly game.
Vikings (+3) at Bears- The Bears kill me every week. I think they are going to pull this game out, in what could be a struggle. Take the Bears and hope for a push if nothing else.
Chargers (+1) at Bills- How good did the Chargers look last week? This is a 1:00pm cross country trek for the Bolts, but I still like them here. The Bills will give them a difficult game at home, but the Chargers are starting a roll.
Saints (+3) at Panthers- The Saints seem to be clicking as of late and the Panthers are unraveling. I am taking the Saints here.
Cowboys (+7) at Rams- Will Romo play? Will Roy Williams play? Who cares, its the Rams we are talking about. Take a very mad Cowboys team.
Ravens (+3) at Miami- After watching the Ravens get trounced by the Colts its hard to pick them even getting points. I would never bet this game, but forced to pick a winner I will take the Phins.
Lions (+9 1/2) at Texans- This will be real nasty. Take the Texans and thank your luckily stars you are not a Lions fan.
Jets (-3) at Raiders- Jets... why? Because its the freaking Raiders.
Colts (-1) at Packers- The Colts will need to bring their A game, but I like them coming off of last weeks momentum building game.
Browns (+7) at Redskins- I like the rally after last weeks loss and cover here.
Seahawks (+10) at Bucs- Bucs... Seahawks are terrible.
Broncos (+3) at Pats- I like the Broncos to pull the upset here.
49ers (+10) at Giants- I like the G-men here. The trip from the west coast is tough and the 1:00pm game is even tougher. Its a big number but I think the G-Men cover.
Steelers (-9 1/2) at Bengals- While the Bengals have the worst record in football, they are not regularly being blown out which makes 9 1/2 a home versus a division rival troubling. I am taking the Bengals and home they can keep it close.

Broncos (+3) at Pats- I like the Broncos to pull the upset here.

NFL Picks Recap Week 6
The Poor get poorer... I am missing games at an alarming rate. This is getting uglier than a night of Saki bombs and rice wine. I cannot be brought to give details on how bad this past week was... so a simple wrong or correct will have to do.
Panthers -2 at Tampa - I like the Panthers here. Tampa came back down to earth last week and the Panthers are coming off the bye week. They will cover here, no problem.
Recap- Wrong
Rams +13 at Redskins - Skins all the way here. The Rams are the worst team in football and Hazlett will not make one bit of difference.
Recap- Wrong
Bengals +8 1/2 at Jets - I love the Jets here. Palmer is out and the Jets had a week to work on some new wrinkles. Jets will crack this wide open at home.
Recap- Correct
Raiders +7 at New Orleans - Raiders owner Al Davis is a coward. Take the Saints for no other reason than that.
Recap- Correct
Miami -3 at Houston - This is tough because Houston should have won last week vs Indy and biffed the end of the game away in a whack job finish (I loved it, but that was sick). Do they come out mad or defeated puppies. I say defeated puppies. I say grab the Fins and don't sweat the points.
Recap- Wrong
Chicago -2 1/2 at Atlanta - ATL is a much improved dream, but this is a sucker bet. Chicago's D will break Matt Ryan in two. jump on this game with both feet. Chicago all the way.
Recap- Wrong
Lions -13 1/2 at Vikings - Vikings. Enough said.
Recap- Wrong
Ravens +4 at the Colts - I cannot believe this spread. I hate to say in but I will be betting B-More. I think the Colts pull this one out a game that will likely be decided by a FG.
Recap- Wrong
Jacksonville -3 at Denver - I like Jacksonville here. Denver's D is all kinds of bad so Jones Drew and Taylor will go nuts.
Recap- Correct
Eagles -4 1/2 at 49ers - I think the Eagles are going to wipe the floor with the 49ers. I think this is a two toucher.
Recap- Correct
Cowboys at -4 1/2 at Arizona - Boys will not let this one be close after last weeks scare. Arizona is basically a home game for the Cowboys.
Recap- Wrong
Green Bay+1 at Seattle - I love this game. Grab the Packers and count your money.
Recap- Correct
Pats +5 at San Diego - Hmmm. This one is a tough call. I think i go with the Pats and the points. San Diego is in a free fall, and even if they win, it will be close.
Recap- Wrong
Giants -7 1/2 at Cleveland - G-Men all the way. Points scare me, but they have played great all season and Mistake by the Lake is in bad shape.
Recap- Wrong
Week 5 Record – 5 – 9 – 0
Season Record – 30 – 34 – 3

Geek or not to Geek that is the question.
Am I a Geek?
Hmmmm… I would have never thought of myself as a geek in the past. But more and more I feel I might just be crossing over into true geek-dom. So let me lay out the facts on both sides of the argument and you can decide.
Pro-Geek – Facts about me that could cross the geek Mendoza Line.
I love the Justice League of America and still have my childhood comics to prove it.
I play in two fantasy football leagues. Now on the surface that does not sound bad, actually fantasy football is a bastion of geek-dom draped in the sports.
I write a blog. For real that is some real geeky stuff. I admit it, but if you actually read it you are way worse.
I know the full theme song to Different Stokes and Facts of Life. Maybe this is just weird, not geek-rific.
I have watched every Kevin Smith movie over 50 times.
I like all time travel themed TV shows and movies.
I know what the prime directive is and actually have an opinion of how it affects Starfleet's alien interactions in the universe.
My favorite book is the Stand and I love almost all Stephen King fiction.
I own an Aquaman T-Shirt.
I have all the seasons of Superfriends on DVD.
I love Logan’s Run, Planet of The Apes and all other kitschy 70’s science fiction.
I listen to lots of Podcasts.
Con-Geek - Facts about me that keep me out of the geek hemisphere
I did watch Heroes, but I have recently quit.
I don’t online game.
I don’t play Magic the Gathering.
I am extremely attractive. Seriously, I am way hot… for real.
I am not a fan of Battlestar Galactica, new or old.
I shower on a regular basis.
I really dig Jackson Browne. This fact does not push me in one direction or the other, I just like to pimp my Jackson Browne addiction.
I have never been to a comic convention.
Ok so now you have the facts. What do you think? Am I a geek or no?

NFL Picks Recap Week 5
Buffalo +1 - I like Buffalo here. Boldin is out for Zona which will enable the Bills D to key on the Zona passing game. I like the Bills to win on the road here.
Recap- Missed here, but Edwards was knocked out in the first series of the game. So I really don't feel to bad about this one. I still think the Bills are on the right track this year.
KC +9 1/2 -Oh this is tough, I do not think KC will be in this game, however Damon Huard will help KC keep it in the same solar system. Take the points and pray.
Recap- Ouch!
Bears -3 1/2 - The Matt Millian era is over in Detroit but the losing is not. Bears by a touch.
Recap- Now we are on the right track. Bears destroyed Motown.
Cincinnati +16 1/2 -How mad is Dallas. We will find out. I am taking the Natty to squeak by on points alone.
Recap- Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner! Cincy shows some life. Dallas, slept on them but the more talented team wins in the end.
Tampa Bay +3 - I hate to say this, but maybe Tampa is for real. Denver D is horrible.Indy -3 - The Colts right the ship this week. Please?

New England -3 - I hate the Pats, but they are a crafty group. I think they win here, in a tight battle.
Recap- The '08 Pats are not nearly as good as the '07 squad, but do not take them lightly. They will compete all year.
Giants - 7 - Seattle is not good. Take the G-Men coming off the bye week and getting healthy.
Recap- Seattle is one sorry football team. It would take a very large spread to make me get near them this season.
Philly -6 - Philly got job last week and will light up the Skins at home.
Recap- How is Philly losing these games?
San Diego -6 1/2 - Bolts smack down the fins. LT throws for his first TD of the season.

Giants - 7 - Seattle is not good. Take the G-Men coming off the bye week and getting healthy.
Recap- Seattle is one sorry football team. It would take a very large spread to make me get near them this season.
Philly -6 - Philly got job last week and will light up the Skins at home.
Recap- How is Philly losing these games?
San Diego -6 1/2 - Bolts smack down the fins. LT throws for his first TD of the season.
Recap- Bolts playoff chances are going up in smoke.
Baltimore +3 - The Titans fall this week. Ray Lewis just does not age and Collins will not take a team to 5-0.
Recap- Pushed
New Orleans -3 - Not sure about either teams, so I will take the home team and hold on.
Recap- Missed here... I have been pushing the Vikes all season, I change it up for one week and look what happens.
Week 5 Record – 4 – 6 – 2

NFL Picks Week 5
Time to get this trend stopped! Each week my picks have gotten worse. But I feel very good about this weeks games.
Buffalo +1 - I like Buffalo here. Boldin is out for Zona which will enable the Bills D to key on the Zona passing game. I like the Bills to win on the road here.
KC +9 1/2 -Oh this is tough, I do not think KC will be in this game, however Damon Huard will help KC keep it in the same solar system. Take the points and pray.
Bears -3 1/2 - The Matt Millian era is over in Detroit but the losing is not. Bears by a touch.
Cincinnati +16 1/2 -How mad is Dallas. We will find out. I am taking the Natty to sqeak by on points alone.
Tampa Bay +3 - I hate to say this, but maybe Tampa is for real. Denver D is horrible.
Indy -3 - The Colts right the ship this week. Please?
Jacksonville -4 - I think the Jags will win at home in the defensive struggle. The points scare me, but I will eat the 4 and go with the Jags at home.
New England -3 - I hate the Pats, but they are a crafty group. I think they win here, in a tight battle.
Giants - 7 - Seattle is not good. Take the G-Men coming off the bye week and getting healthy.
