Scotland Beats Argentina!
Posted by on Thursday, June 12, 2008 in - 4 comments
I took no photos so that I could pay attention to the game. But the GX40 sound recording unit would have been a better choice as, if you are interested in hearing the sound of sides of beef being crashed into each other, international rugby could be your game. The game yesterday here in Kingston …
One Hot Friday Evening With the Watertown Wizards
Posted by on Saturday, June 7, 2008 in - 2 comments
2,370 sat with we four and watched the Watertown Wizards play their opening game for the 2008 season in the New York Collegiate Baseball League. Sure they lost 3-1 but, seeing as we were a little late to the game, we missed the only three runs that Little Falls earned in the top of the first. Lots …
Friday Bullets Of The Sub-Hypo-Mania
Posted by on Friday, June 6, 2008 in - 18 comments
What is the bird that wakes up by making a call that consists of one cheep followed over a few seconds by seven to ten evenly spaced double cheeps in which the second double cheep is slightly highest in pitch, the rest following slightly lower and quieter? That is the one that made me realize I …
Monday Morning Quarterback: Stanley Cup Final Edition
Posted by on Monday, May 26, 2008 in - 2 comments
I am happy to report that I didn't spend the weekend in front of the TV watching sports. No, I was on the road. Not really visiting so much as on the road from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm Saturday and 10:00 am to 5:30 pm Sunday. The road. The road is long. With many a winding turn. And not that much sport …

Monday Morning Quarterback: Victoria Day Edition
Posted by on Monday, May 19, 2008 in - 1 comment
Is there a lazier day than Victoria Day. First it celebrates nothing we much like any more - social frigidity and colonial empire. Then there is that honest truth that for most of the Canadians out there, you have hungover. May 2-4 and all that. God has even blessed us with a rainy day so there is …

Monday Morning Quarterback: Coco Goes Wild
Posted by on Monday, May 12, 2008 in - 4 comments
Even with the split over the weekend, it feels like the Sox are not quite in the groove. The knuckleball wasn't there for Wake yesterday. Lowell is sputtering after being WS MVP last year. Sure they are on top but, really, you can't be dwelling on that. Nonetheless, Coco was gorgeous. An easy …
Monday Morning Quarterback: Manny's Arm Edition
Posted by on Monday, May 5, 2008 in - 3 comments
Did you see Many Saturday night? Of course you - unless you are Chris - didn't because only Chris and I have invested wisely in the baseball sports package. Because of that decision we saw Manny pick a runner off at home plate throwing from the outfield. He picked him off with enough time to watch …

How was your May Day? Did you think of Stalin? Didn't pop into my head once • but I did about seven loads of laundry. Does that count? • Update: photobombing...potentially • NSFW depending on where you work and who is watching! • Were you aware that India launched ten satellites with one …
