NCAA Tourney: Everybody in the Pool

The New Get Rich Quick Idea
I’m actually starting to think this could be the answer to the entire planets financial woes. A Pool on every corner. There’s always room for the entrepreneurial spirit in all of us. Much cheaper than a Starbucks franchise as well.

This year I won’t be taking part in a pool unless my wife and The Schnauzer are up for it. that’s the way it is when you work out of a home office. I was never any good in Office pools anyway. I think one year I was the only one who picked every 16th seed out of the hat.

Hey. I listen! A few of you said that you couldn’t read the comments that you left because of the dark grey background so, wah-lah, presto change-o. A few more of you thought the lettering neede more orange to match the menu bar. Fixed. I love your comments and I’ trying to do a better job of jumping in the midst of the conversation, so keep ‘em coming.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ON FRIDAY MORNING So please be sure to check back in for more toons and news.

High School sports
Maybe it’s just me, or the market I live in (Denver) but it pains me to see so little importance and air time given to high school sports. I wish, sometimes, the coverage was the other way around.

Comments and critiques
I realize I have foisted a tremendous amount of new stuff here on the site all at once. But it’s been almost a year since the loss of the Rocky Mountain News and almost that long for this blog. I felt like it needed some refreshing here. Feel free to let me know what you like and don’t like about the changes here. I want to make this place a blast for you to come to!

A Drew Litton Calendar is Coming!

A Drew Litton Calendar is Coming
We’ve begun production on the first ever Drew Litton wall calendars. My wife, Marcia, is helping input the events and I’m working on choosing the images. We’re doing a super cool calendar with dates for all of the major sports events of 2010 plus cartoons for every month. We weren’t able to get the daily desk calendars done. I just don’t have the financial resources right now to make that happen. This calendar is really an experiment. If it goes well then we will start to do a lot more merchandise in 2010 including a new book. So you can help me out by telling all your friends about the Drew Litton calendar (not to mention this blog). The more people who know about it the better. I’m also exploring doing a few Christmas Craft shows but I’m not sure about that yet. If any one has any ideas about that, I’m all ears. If there is any other merchandise you would like to see made available for this Holiday season feel free to let me know. You might remember a poll we ran back in September. It was a big help.

The NBA finals: Is somebody a little on edge?

Never let ‘em see ya sweat
Or so the story goes. But you better believe David Stern is feeling a little nervous about now. His “Dream Team” match-up of Kobe vs. LeBron is about to go up in smoke. We’ll know pretty soon if the fix is on if suddenly the Cavs come back and Kobe finds a teammate to help him do anything on the court. Me? I’m pulling for the big upsets. It’s so much more fun that way.
