It seems all good things must come to an end.

Yes, Ryan Mallett -- one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the University of Arkansas -- has decided to skip his senior year and enter the NFL draft.

That's a shame.

A real shame.

However, he won some great games with the Razorbacks and any fan worth his salt ought to wish Mallett well in the NFL.

Having three grandchildren who are frequently visiting our home means that we have lots of fun watching children's educational direct star tv. Our satellite network carries a great variety and we have many that we enjoy, but I think my favorite is "Yo, Gabba, Gabba." The characters live inside a gigantic boom box and D.J. Lance carries it around on his shoulders when they're not playing in Gabba-land. Once he takes them out, they come to life and each have their own unique personalities. The show deals with a lot of important issues like not hurting each others' feelings, not littering, and even not biting. Having a two-year old granddaughter who seems to be prone to this biting thing has made that particular episode extremely relevant. The characters and scenery are colorful and the episodes are designed to be short and to the point so as to keep even the younger children's attention. The music is great too with fun tempos and lyrics that are easy to remember. As a matter of fact, they sometimes get stuck in my head. I walked around for days singing "Don't, don't, don't bite your friends!" The show usually airs about mid-morning and repeats around 9 p.m. My grandchildren are always excited to watch!

I've collected a ton of Nintendo Entertainment (NES) and Super Nintendo Entertainment Systems (SNES) over the years.

The games pretty well last forever but the hardware needed to play them doesn't. What's a retrogramer to do? I looked at one of those Chinese-made systems that are cheap and new to use with my collection of vintage video games a few months ago and have been pleased with the results so far.

Yes, the holidays are over (awww!) and you know what that means -- spring isn't too far off and it'll be time to update some things around your home.

One often overlooked -- but important area -- has to do with your mailbox. I look at my sad mailbox that's been beaten to a pulp over the year and the thing is a bit of a disgrace. Hey, mailboxes wear out over time, right?

Well, they don't have to wear out. Have a look at a Bobi mailbox if your in the market for one of those stylish, contemporary mailboxes that tends to last. What are Bobi mailboxes? Bobicompany is a Danish outfit that makes a line of mailboxes that look great, last for a long time and are high-capacity units that can hold a ton of mail.

You know you'll be updating a few things around your house in a few months, so why not at least have a look at what Bobicompany has to offer and see if it's time to get rid of that rusting eyesore you retrieve mail from and replace it with something that will last?
