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?
2008 might be the year of the idiot all over again…

so…the Red Sox won the World Series — yay!
so…the City of Boston is having a “rolling rally” for the Red Sox today — boo!
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…yesterday turned out to be the longest work day I’ve had in 6-7 years: 6am - 9 pm.
True, there was a quarterly business meeting last night that might have involved some drinks, but seriously, how relaxing is a drink if you’re talking about work?

Yesterday, being Thursday, the local Classic Rock station was pulling off a […]

so…we had a yard sale last Saturday. As far as yard sales go, it was pretty successful — we got rid of at least half of our stuff, made $160, and only ended up buying two things from the yard sale across the street!
With the end of the yard sale came the bargain-basement pricing, and […]

Thanks Mom!

I really hate when people can’t do their job correctly.
Last Wednesday I stopped at the parking garage to renew my pass. Normally they give you until the third of the month to renew, but I hadn’t renewed my pass in February so there would be no such perk for me.
I […]

so…let’s say that there was a huge public scare yesterday in Boston that turned out to be a big marketing ploy gone wrong and misunderstood.
I’m not naming names or linking to the stories because then the marketers win.
As appropriate as the response was, the second that the news found out about the “marketing” angle on […]

so…it’s pretty dark this morning. I know, I know, thank you Mr. Obvious! “you mean it’s dark at 5:45 am? I never would have guessed!”
It’s actually dark on the train.
Less than a minute after pulling out of the station the generator that runs the lights for the whole train stopped work. Now there is only […]

so…it’s amazing how a little exposure to my “fellow man” in the morning can ruin an otherwise enjoyable song as “I feel for you.”
I was late for the train. Again.
I got up almost 10 minutes early today! I had everything laid out, pre-pack, showered, ironed, and/or ready to go! The only thing I needed to […]
