Labor Day weekend? Where the hell did the summer go?
Viva Espana!

Indeed!
Welcome summer. After the winter we had I am ready for some 90 degree+ heat.
kay:
There is snow outside my window. I'm so gonna snap.

Starting playing when I was in 6th grade or so..then in high school we were one of the best teams in state my senior year thanks to my two "adopted" brothers- exchange students from Sweden and Italy. Then living in Munich sealed the deal after several matches at the Olympic stadium.
Bonsai? I dunno. Living art is kinda cool.

Ha ha! Break up the Nats! 
I think the Rays are leading the AL East, but my Yankees are right there (can't say that about the Sox). Yeah, I don't hate LeBron, but you're right, he can't carry them. And, even if they bring in another max player, they still don't have anything else. And what if one of them gets hurt? Season over.

Go Yankees!
Is it Spring yet? I feel like I have literally and metaphorically been in hibernation for quite some time now. The snow we've had this winter hasn't helped. But next week promises south-of-the-border warmth. This kid is bound for Pura Vida. Hasta luego, amigos y amigas!
Paul Thorn, from Tupelo MS, opened for Joan Osborne last night. He performed solo acoustic, but I'm looking forward to the chance to hear him at some point with his band. Witty, authentic, southern-fried story teller. Check him out-

Joan rocked too, with the Holmes brothers playing a second opening set and sitting in as her band-

I'm down here in Alexandria for a while because the girlfriend couldn't stand the cold and snow in the Berkshires for one more minute. We got here friday night...

How've you been, bro?
I am no longer a neo-luddite. I acquired today the latest smart-phone technology in the form of the Droid. I certainly expect great things from the Google-verse in delivering the apps.

Keep us posted on how you like it. I'm curious to hear how it is; I'm on Verizon with a Blackberry Curve. Not necessarily looking to get a new phone, but you never know.
Not Drogba, not Anelka, not Lampard, but John Terry wins the day for Chelsea in a 1-0 hard fought, gritty match with Man U. Having been one myself once, I love when defense men score.
Sir Alex started whining to the press about the referring immediately after the Reds were sent packing. I guess he missed the studs up collision Evans had with Drogba and...

Though I've never really gotten into Premiere League football, I can see why people love it... just look at the WAGs, like Cheryl Cole! But, Chelsea over Man U. is interesting; Man U. often gets compared to my Yankees.

Indeed, Man U is a huge dynasty with a vast payroll, much like the Yanks. I just have always liked Chelsea for some reason. Deep down I am a Bayern Munich fan, but EPL is the highest level game in the world cause they spend the most.
And yes, the arm candy of footballers is world-renowned. Martin Rogers on Yahoo Sports always closes his weekly report with 'Why it is good to be a football player"

How did it get to be November already? And why the hell are they still playing baseball in this weather?
Meanwhile, the English Premier League is well into its season and Chelsea are on top. Blue forever. Crush Man U this weekend!!

My account expires the end of July and I don't think I will be updating the credit card info.
SG has been a fun place to hang out these past few years, but these days seems furthest from my mind (for a variety of reasons) and thus I neglect it. It's like a garden, you get what you sow,...

I'm really glad you weren't able to chew through ye olde SG umbilical. 
(My friends list seems to be shrinking at an alarming rate. Many of my favorite folks continue to leave the site. Makes me sad.)
Happy Fall and all that!!

I'll be in the neighborhood this weekend BV; yes, once again, the Army Tenmiler!
~ The Bicycles Battling Cancer fundraiser is done for this year, but I'll keep you on the list for next year!
~ Sorry about your Mom. In the last five years I've lost six close friends/relatives, including two old girlfriends. The last one threw me over the edge and I just felt like I had to do something to help the cause...
~ It was a great first outing, my donor group donated $2885 and the whole event raised $140,000. Not too shabby in only it's second year, and with only 140 riders!
~ I'll be in DC again, 14 Oct - 1 Nov, so I'll give you a call if I can find some time and maybe we can have a beer and talk about bonsai or old Saabs!
