When I watched baseball as a kid, it was a really simple affair which basically boiled down to "I hope the Mets win".  My friend Matt Hansen and his father were WAY into baseball, and that's where I became interested.  I didn't know anything about statistics, rosters, or even the minor league (beyond it's existence).  We'd watch a game on TV or ( Read more... )

I've been really busy, for obvious reasons, but here's a quick update as to what's going on:

• We're still go for both closings this Thursday.  Everything seems to be on track, all the repairs to our new place that we asked for in the Purchase and Sale agreement have been taken care of.  In addition, we have a verbal agreement with the seller to move ( Read more... )

Dinner was awesome last night, and Adam and Rory really seemed to enjoy it. I would probably pass on the parsnips if I did it again, but all in all it was a very simple and tasty recipe.

I am listening to the first of my two new CDs, and so far, so good....

I got my first "Report Card", which is Graham-Family-Speak for "Pay Check". It is about what I expected to get for one check, maybe a wee bit lower. I may have to re-evaluate my withholding situation after I do some math.

It is too damn hot in the place, so I am bugging out in 15 minutes. Adam and Rory are coming over for dinner after work ( Read more... )

Around 2pm today I am going to leave for yet another trip to Boston, this time searching for an apartment. I tried to call some of these places yesterday, but all of them were closed for "Patriot's Day", which is a holiday that is only celebrated in New England, apparently (I don't care, I will get it off next year. :P). So I have to make some ( Read more... )

I officially accepted the offer from Rovia today, sending back the letter signed and all. So I guess I am now committed to living with Massholes. :) I will make sure to watch alot of The Sopranos, however, so I don't begin to develop some annoying accent. And also, never fear, a water fountain will never be a bubbler.

The letter said that my ( Read more... )
