Apparently, we have entered a phenomenon known as March Madness, as evidence by the seemingly dozens of college basketball games on in the bar last night during happy hour. People really get into this March Madness. There are these “bracket” boards all over the place and people try to guess who will end up as…
Okay, so technically, we are still several weeks from spring, but I woke up this morning feeling like a wanted to make a substantial dent in some spring cleaning that have been putting off for a few years now. I have a closet full of stuff in the guest room that is just waiting for…
I am a firm believer in the Golden Rule, which when properly stated, is roughly: “Treat other people the way you would want to be treated” (but is often misstated as: “Treat other people the way that they treat you.”) It is because of my firm belief in the Golden Rule that I did not…
I don’t know what the sports writers were thinking when they voted for Justin Morneau over Derek Jeter for MVP. It couldn’t have been a strictly numbers thing. Jeter came in second for the batting title. He got his 3rd Golden Glove in a row and he also got he Silver Slugger for short stop.…
I got the renewal for me and Dad’s Orioles season tickets for 2007 and the price of the tickets did not go up! Instead of 3 Yankee games next year, there are two; there are two games with Boston as well.
I got to Buffalo Bills exactly at 7 PM and naturally, I was the first person there. Denisse showed up about 10 minutes later and then her friends started arriving. AJ didn’t get there until almost an hour later. I spent time talking to Denisse and also to a friend of hers from Finland. Denisse…

I have been thinking about this for a couple of days. I believe that there is another reason that the Yankees (or any team with large payroll) should not try and correlate payroll and the winning of championships. The fact is, while they might be a state goal, I think it is really just a…
What can I say, it was some game last night! I was pulling for the Mets, but they just couldn’t do it, although they made a mostly valiant effort there at the end. (I say “mostly” because I can’t understand why Beltran took that last pitch.) My condolences go out to Mom, Dad and Doug.…
Jen and I had a quick, late lunch at Jackson Hole and then met Jason back at the apartment just in time to watch game 4 of the ALDS, Yankees vs. Tigers. As you know by now, the Yankees lost badly and were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round. Chronologically, this all took…
The good news: I can get to bed at a decent hour tonight. The bad news: I’m going to miss the game tomorrow. I’d work from home if I could but I have to give a presentation at about the exact time the first pitch is being thrown tomorrow.
