The reasons I once had for writing in this journal no longer exist. This will be the last entry in this journal, and I do not know if there will ever be other journals. Perhaps if I find other reasons ( Read more... )

I really dislike (Microsoft) Internet Explorer and yes, I realize it is ridiculous to still be using it and that all you smarter people have switched to something better. So I should get Mozilla?

Jesus, Nick Zito. It looks like you've got your bases covered. Todd Pletcher, same to you. I wish Steinbrenner the best but I also wish he'd stay the hell away from the Derby.
