If you're going to steal something.....

Make it something worthwhile. Like this guy: Dublin thief makes off with 180 Guinness kegs

or this guy: Stolen oil delivery truck found in Biddeford, 530 gallons lighter


Now, I am not advocating stealing, I'm just saying....

Happy Thanksgiving!

I get a lot of junk emails (mostly my own fault signing up for every email newsletter under the sun). One of them is a page a day calendar. The other day it said this:

Being grateful and thankful is contagious. Today, how about letting three people know that you are grateful they are in your life?

I thought it was a good Thanksgiving idea that can be used every day.

Who are you thankful for?

Finally!

Barry Bonds indicted on perjury, obstruction charges

and

Boras finally tastes a bit of humiliation

Oh yeah, and the stupid Yanks signed A-Rod despite saying they wouldn't since he didn't know what it meant to be a Yank. As one of my friends said, "I guess the Yanks don't care about winning any more World Series for the next 10 years." So true.

You've Got A Friend

So I have been streaming the new JT album, "One Man Band" from MSN (I guess MSN is good for something). It's a great album. There aren't any new songs on it, but it's live and there is good audience interaction. Some of the songs are completely redone, for example, Slap Leather is completely different from the original recording, but is awesome! There are a few songs I wasn't familiar with, such as "You Can Close Your Eyes" which is a beautiful song. As this video shows, he sounds the same as he did 36 years ago!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

To Dasein. Sorry we will miss your party. Have a great time!

New Release?

So this past weekend, our local movie rental place (yes, it's true - I don't belong to NetFlix) was having free rentals in the non- new release section of the store. Sean had heard an interview with Steve Carrell on the radio and thought, "Hey, we've never seen 40-Year Old Virgin!" So, I decided to get the movie, since it was going to be free. Boy was I wrong! Apparently, a TWO YEAR OLD MOVIE is still considered a "New Release" by the stupid movie store. Needless to say, I did not feel compelled to pay for the movie and left. I asked the girl what is considered a new release and she said it depends. Depends on what? If the movie was actually worth renting? Apparently.

Winners and almost winners

Congrats to our own Dustin Pedroia, winner of the AL Rookie of the Year! Way to go Pedroia! Also, congrats to CC Sabathia, winner of the AL Cy Young award. Even though BECKETT TOTALLY DESERVED IT, Sabathia had very good numbers and pitched a ridiculous amount og innings this season. I guess it makes sense that the post season does not factor into the voting, but seriously, Beckett sat out two of his starts due to a blister and he still had 20 wins. Whatever. Yeah Red Sox! Now, if Theo would just sign Lowell already we would be great!

YOOUUUUKKKKKKKKKK!

Winner of the Gold Glove for the American League at First Base: Kevin Youkilis! Yeah for Youk. He had an outstanding season:

	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	AVG
2007	145	528	85	152	35	2	16	83	239	77	105	4	2	.390	.453	.288

No errors in 1,094 innings. Way to go Sox!

Classical music

Pandora finally has added classical music to their library! It's quite limited as of yet, and most of the choral music is Christmas music, but there's nothing wrong with that! Yeah! (I am using a lot of exclamation marks today!)

Vote today!

Don't forget to vote today! It's fun, plus, sometimes there are donuts!
