So how about those financial markets huh? It appears to be like quicksand at the moment... the more you struggle, the deeper you get. So I am just going to send my consciousness in a new direction and try to remember, it could be worse... I could live in Somalia! not for nothing, but the Somalian Pirates made somewhere in the neighborhood of $30mm last year. Think they get dental and a 401K plan w/ that? At least they don't have to have the SEC bust their balls about stock options!
Anywho. Red Sox pulled out a huge win last night to advance to the AL Conference finals. Great pitching from Jon Lester and really just a great story. Kid had cancer a year ago, now he is a staff ace on the defending world champions. The Sox really kill me though, the highs and lows. I was giddy when they went up 2-0. Kotsay really brought some defensive energy to the table last night as well as a timely hit. Of course I then almost had a heart attack when the rookie Masterson pooped all over himself and gave the lead right back up and then let a guy get to third w/ one out in the ninth. But then joy when they finally strung together a couple of big hits and another rookie, Jed Lowrie delivered the game winning (Bay) run in the bottom of the ninth. What a roller coaster! BTW, to the Anaheim Whiners (Angels)... shut the F*ck up and stop crying. YOU made the costly errors, YOU made the base running gaffes, YOU left all of those runners on base. That's the way the game goes, call it the ghost of Hendu!
Ever notice the similarities between GW and Brick from Anchorman... "I love lamp!"
A quick football recap... Larry Johnson and Ladainianinan Tomlinson, welcome to irrelevancy. Matt Ryan and Michael Turner, exciting! Patriots, back in the mix. Seahawks, way out of the mix. Dolphins, frisky. Cardinals, frisky. Bengals, frumpy. Eagles, frumpy. Giants for real. Steelers... smoke and mirrors.
So 2 faves once again made the grade this week for my special lady and I. Tiny Thai. Always good, always cheap. Try the Drunken Noodles, you won't be sorry. Finally, the best restaurant in Vermont at the moment? Hen of the Wood in Waterbury. It is top notch. Good service, great food, great atmosphere, good wine, stiff pours... there is not one thing I didn't like about my meal on Saturday (except the drive home!). Try the fried oysters, or the mushroom bread, or the pork cheeks, or the calamari, or the scallops, or my personal fave the short ribs. Heck, spend a week and try EVERYTHING!!!!!!! I should work in marketing for that place.
Guess that is just about it for now... Happy birthday NS!
