Slice of heaven
If you need a vacation suggestion I recommend Embden Lake in Maine.
We recently rented a cabin on the lake. It’s an absolutely beautiful place that is very quiet and remote. It’s about 3 hours from the NH/Maine border. No water slides, theme parks or much of anything else. Just a clean lake and a chance to [...]

While I was out…
Damn. Lots to mention while I was away on vacation. Where to start?
Chris Benoit. I used to follow the WWE, then I found UFC. Every now and then I check out Vince and crew to see what’s going on. Most of the story lines are beyond horrible but occassionally the wrestling is entertaining. I know [...]

Barry Bonds
OK my take on Barry Bonds, Giambi and Sosa. If it can be proven that any player has taken any illegal body enhancing measures while those measures were illegal then I say restrict them from the record books and Hall of Fame. If you cannot prove that they did anything illegal or they took measures [...]

Good Mood
Not 100% sure why, but today I’m in a really good mood. It might be the weekend is coming and I’m on vacation next week. Could be the Red Sox blanked the Braves two games in a row while the Yankees lost two in a row. I’m not really sure.
But I’m going to enjoy it [...]

Do what you say you’ll do
Lately I have had several people in my life that consistently do not do what they say they will do. It may be something trivial or it might be an important project at work. Either way I’m very black and white on this subject. If you say you are going to do something, then do it. [...]

Somebody help me tame this animal
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
- lyrics from “Animal I Have Become” by Three Days Grace
I recently became aware of the music of Three Days Grace and I can’t [...]

Why does it bother you?
OK, someone needs to explain to me why same sex marriage, civil unions, etc… is so bad or harmful. If two people are at the legal age to marry why should I care who they are marrying? With half of all marriages failing today anyways why would we not want to see the percent of [...]

Red Sox
What the hell is wrong with the Red Sox!!! How do you have a 14.5 game lead on the Yankees in the beginning of June and then cut it just about half by mid-June. Come on guys!!! For Christ’s sake if this doesn’t pan out then the ‘78 Red Sox will be happy you took [...]
