It comes as no surprise that the main draw to this blog is the 2012 and counting theme. Even Google seems to agree.

A seventy year old football fanatic took time IN THE MIDDLE OF A BROWN’S GAME to ask for my input on the 2012 doomsday prediction.

So, what’s it like to be 62 years old in 2009?

Thanks PLAYBOY MAGAZINE.
You’ve brought many of us full circle. For many years we claimed to buy and read you “for the articles”. Of course we fooled no one; though lots of Moms pretended to accept our explanation.
