Continuing with the football theme... my Giants (and the Jets) are now 3-0. Who'd thunk that both NY teams would still be undefeated at this point in the season? Couple that with my Yankees winning the AL East... I'm one happy sports fan.
I grew up in New York and lived here ever since. I started rooting for the Sox when I was 7 and the otther teams followed. I've never set foot in Chicago in my life.
All of my friends rooted for the Yankees, Dodgers or Giants. I wanted to be different, so I latched onto the Sox. I still remember the 1959 WS almost like it was yesterday.
I agree that Ozzie can be a very good manager. His fiery personality will ultimately be his undoing. I thought he'd be gone a couple of years ago. I don't know what the plans would be if Ozzie left, but i've always wanted Joey Cora to be the Sox manager.
This is kind of random, but sometimes I wish I could pull off wearing a cowboy hat. Not that I like them, or even want to wear one, I just wish I had the head/neck/build to pull it off. And also white jeans. I think they only look good on thin people, and I've never been thin. Ha ha Again, not that I like them... Read More
Wearing a cowboy hat is certainly doable your keeping your goals reasonable.
I'd like to be able to wear one of those T shirts that the guys with the bulging muscles and tight abs wear. Unfortunately in my case, i'd look like Frank Costanza.
Anna Pacquin looks great, as do some of the other stars in HBO's "True Blood," but for the life of me I don't get the show's appeal. I watched a fair amount of it this season, and I've seen some of the press coverage about it, but I never could get into it. Maybe it hurt that I didn't really see the first season, I... Read More
I can't say that i've watched either show. I cancelled HBO recently to save a few bucks. I had to do it since I wasn't about to do without the baseball package this summer.
Anna Paquin does look great. it seems like yesterday when she was just a child.
In light of my last post honoring the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, I'll ask this question: Do you think we'll see the President sign a health care reform bill this year? Or more specifically, do you think we'll see the President sign a good, truly reformative health care bill this year? I'm all for health care reform, but I want something good that really addresses... Read More
We need this, but it just doesn't seem to matter in the end. Bullshit just keeps getting fed to people, and in the end it just becomes a political crap fest.
I missed this blog until now or I would have commented sooner. I was in the hospital for two days last week.
I can't believe the lies and scare tactics about health care reform that the average, uninformed citizen is falling for. I'm afraid that whatever, if anything is done will be window dressing, not truly needed change. The special interests and their political allies have shown that they'll stop at nothing to keep the status quo.
I'd like to know why a system that's good enough for the rest of the civilized world is anathema to so many here. We supposedly voted for change. The election of a Black president, something I never thought would happen in my lifetime, demonstrated how fed up this country was with what was going on during the Bush administration. Now that we've elected him, we're resisting most of the things he wants to implement. Plus, he's become a lightening rod for all the haters out there that are bent on destroying Obama's presidency and Obama himself.
My "bottom line" prediction is that nothing meaningful will get done on health care or much else. Americans will experience more of the same and will continue to complain about the fact that nothing has cchanged. Sounds crazy, but that seems to be the nature of the beast.
On a personal note, I hope all is well in your life.
p.s. I'd love to get some info about the area you live in based on the criteria I mention in my current blog. I suspect that CT may be beyond my means, but i'd appreciate your input regardless.
I agree 100%. Unfortunately, those who hated him for his liberal views, his name and his stature have worked tirelessly to demonize him by bringing up the Mary Jo Kopechne tragedy every chance they get. Even now that he's gone, those elements will never allow that episode to be forgotten or forgiven.
The Yankees look really good. It's going to come down to the starting pitching.
