Weekend Update

I'm up late working from home... so that will tell you pretty much how my weekend went.

I was a wee tiny bit hungover on saturday morning. Not a good thing when you have to be outside at 9 in the morning and its 90 degrees with 99% humidity at 9 in the morning. A few cokes and McDonalds set me right. In my effort to gain some weight, I've been eating bad... and late... just 5 more pounds...

Tough to talk much about the Sox. Getting swept in NY while the Tigers just keep on winning. This cannot continue.

Politte is finally gone, proving what I've been saying all along - 2005 was an aberration for him. Too bad as his seems like a competitive guy and was a key to the 2005 Championship.

Trade rumors continue to swirl around Freddy Garcia. Shipping him off to Philly for Tom Gordon sounds like an option, but the deal that actually comes down will probably not involve either of those players.

I tried and failed at reading the short stories of Theodore Dreiser. Just not my cup of tea. Same for So What, a biography of Miles Davis. I like his music, but I just don't have the paitence to read about him these days. So its back to Balzac... almost done... Its going to be tough to finish, as my all time favorite book The Best Short Stories of Mark Twain is beginning to seduce me all over again.

Thanks to the heat I'm listening to a lot of Martin Denny, Stan Getz and Herbie Hancock.

Netflix was kind enough to send me Up The Academy. The toasts in Glory Daze inspired me to rent it. Can't wait to watch it...

New link at right explores in great great detail the history of football helmets of each team in every league (including Canadian colleges) .. its filthy.

I've also got a page on myspace, since, like meth, its seems to be what all the kids are doin these days. I'll add bells and whistles to it down the road maybe someday.

A lot to look forward to this week - 2 softball games, the Sox-Detroit series, and a maybe a date with the MILF... expensive meals make her horny.
