Edit to the last post

Well gee, they thought it was time to put the tarp down.

I don't care what they said - they would not have put out the tarp if it wasn't a tied game.

A suspended game to be picked up in the bottom of the 6th, or will the rain delay end sometime tonight? We'll have to wait and see...

Is anyone watching the Series?

I tune in here and there, just enough to know I'm not all that interested.

I did tune in for a bit tonight to see the DELUGE of rain coming down. What are they thinking? The field is puddling up, and everyone's going to drop the ball.

Argh - stupidity at its finest.

I'll be the one in a raincoat

I'm waiting for the Pats game to come on, and I am thinking that there's NO WAY I'll ever be able to spot the boy amongst the crowd, but I will try anyways!

Things I learned while hiking Mount Monadnock today

1). Not so much a hike at points as it is a climb

2). Bees apparently dwell at the top of the mountain

3). Bee stings on pinky fingers hurt a LOT and swell a LOT, so much so that you won't be able to remove a very loose ring.

4). Removing mole skin from the bottom of your feet tickles

5). Do bears poop in the woods? I don't know, but it's certainly not easy for girls to pee in them.

6). Coming down the white dot trail seems a whole lot easier than it would be to go up.

7). It is COLD at the top of the mountain!

8). Pumpkin ice cream at Kimball's Farm is a good way to finish the hike (it's even better when you get the last of the pumpkin ice cream - sorry Jenn!)

9). After driving home for a little over an hour, your legs DO NOT want to move to get you into the house.

10). Watching a guy with a broken ankle trying to make it down the mountain reminds you to be WAY more careful.

11). Seeing the chopper heading up to the top of the mountain to get the guy with the broken ankle makes you think of faking an injury for the ride.

12). Boys will leave girls in their dust on the way up the mountain, but will help them so they don't fall on the way down.

13). Pinky fingers will swell so much from a bee sting, that they won't be able to bend.

14). Ham sandwiches from Store 24 are yummy, especially at the top of a mountain.

15). Faces can get sunburnt, even when most of the day your head is down, trying not to fall over.

16). Calves will protest on the way up the mountain

17). Knees will protest on the way down

18). Did I mention something about bees stinging, and it hurts like heck??

are we playing football or baseball?

If I said that the final score of a sports game was 30-3, what sport would you think I was talking about?

Football?
Basketball?
Certainly not hockey....

And I NEVER would have guessed BASEBALL!!!!

But there it is: Texas 30 - Baltimore 3

Good Lord...

Let's go Kansas!!


Well at least for tonight...

I know absolutely NOTHING about basketball...forget college basketball....

I have a vague understanding as to how the game is played, but that's about it.
Whatever success I have with this bracket is owed to a few of the guys at the Nashoba Valley Concert Band. If I win, I owe them a beer. :-)
I've got Florida, North Carolina, Kansas, and Ohio in the Final Four, with Florida and North Carolina facing off, and Florida going all the way.
Here's to complete guessing!!
