Up in the middle of the night, I caught Chris Carlin on WFAN 660 going off his rocker at 5:00 am over the idea that the Yankees and Red Sox going after A.J. Burnett. Why? Look to his stats:  •  He has never won even 13 games in his career. Other than last year.He is a perpetual disabled list …

I am finally getting used to the clocks changing. I suppose I am getting used to the Obama victory and maybe even the Harper one, too. Maybe even getting used to not being half my age now that I think of it. Is autumn the season of acceptance? Do we rage or go quietly into these dark nights and …

Like Ben, I watched the infomercial. It's hard to say that you can have any idea where this all is heading. Fair to say that Obama gave some light statements on general policy between the vignettes about hard working Americans in financial trouble. There was just not a lot of detail but, I suppose …

It is odd living in Kingston sometimes and no odder when there is a foot or more of of snow within fifty miles as the crow flies but nothing here. That is from WWNY TV from Watertown, NY up top and to the side is the scene this morning in Ottawa. Here is the Ottawa Citizen's report on the snowfall …

This was unexpected. And good. Two games up and going home against the best team in the AL. Bay is wonderful. Have you noticed?  •  Other news for day 28:  •  Tory support collapses in Quebec.Nanos has the Grits up to 30%! Can this be trusted? Or wanted?

...and especially for you, little Jimmy.  •  We stayed up again for a speech. I like speeches so I am something of a sucker but I thought there was just the right measure of menace and warning to the Republican party that my expectation that he would govern as an unfettered independent remains in …

It was seeing photos from last year that got me going - 22,545 sit-ups since 23 September 2007 plus a whole bunch of other stuff. Yet, as far as I can tell, I probably have not changed my outline all that much. Hmmm. Could it be the beer? Really? Well, I suppose I might as well have started …

The ISH's mainly working - though still a bit choppy - but we haven't called off the competition's service visit for next week. I understand that change is what we may need. When I asked myself whether we could have high speed that didn't cut out, I thought "yes, we can." It's about hope for the …
