so…here we are, the end of the year. Will this be a recap of 2007? No; just a recap of the awesomeness that is my son…
While walking walking around the mall yesterday:
Sammy: [fuss, fuss, fuss, whine, whine, whine]
Me: What’s wrong Sammy? What do you want?
Sammy: Booty!
Now, he might have been hungry and wanted some Pirates […]

so…I think it’s either slightly ironic or slightly like a kick in the crotch that they’re playing “It Never Rains In Southern California” on the platform at the train station while it’s snowing.

so…this is the best quote you’ll read about a Presidential candidate’s wife, taken out of context, all day:
“They’ve obviously never tasted Ann Romney’s sweet potato dish. It’s smooth as velvet, drizzled with butter and sprinkled with brown sugar.” — Eric Ferhnstrom (just moments before Mitt punched him in the throat for talking about Ann’s “sweet […]

so…I want to be so wrong on this, but, the Red Sox are going to screw this whole deal with Mike Lowell, all on the grounds of a fucking year — but, they’ll contemplate giving a 10-year, $300+ million offer to Arod?

large crowds stress me out. I don’t get stressed out at the game — those people belong there — but the thousands of extra people standing outside my office building, and taking […]

so…two posts in one morning…some strange is afoot…
actually, nothing strange, just three more things…

so…three things…
Red Sox!!!

we have a neighborhood skunk, and on occasion I’ll see him in the morning. We exchange civil looks and the occasional grunt — mine saying “dude! We’re cool, I’m just moving sllllooooowwwwly to my car” and his saying “hey, you allllmmmooost scared me, but I’m too tired to spray you, so I’ll let […]

so…my mp3 player just started playing Christmas songs!
WTF!

so…I was in the first group of 60 to get called up to a courtroom. After all of the challenges, I came 10 people away from being impanelled.
In the first pass through the 60 potentials, at least 20 stated that they might have a hard time serving their duty. I understand that. However, at least […]
