My Fantasy Baseball Management Skills Are Dusty
Hi – when it comes to Fantasy Baseball Management, I’m Dusty. As in Baker.
I’ll fess up here and say that I don’t really know what the hell I’m talking about.
My fantasy team, the New England Eigenvectors, are bouncing around the middle of the league. My hitting needs work, but I was very proud of my [...]

Patriot’s Day
Time for some photo-blogging.
When I moved to Massachusetts, one of the first things I noticed was a new holiday on my calendar – or would that be calendah?
Patriot’s Day.
My first thought was “What is up with this stupid football team – are they everywhere?”

You BetUS!
How many times have you said to yourself: “I like to play online poker, but sometimes it gets a little boring”? You aren’t alone – even the big name pros tire of the game and start making side bets on which cards will show up on the flop.

Fat Yellow Wisdom and the River of Poo
Lisa: Did you know that the Japanese use the same word for crisis as they do for opportunity?
Homer: Yes! Crisatunity!

I spent the day down at Foxwoods on Sunday. I caught a ride down with PokahDave – we drank Dunkin’ Donuts coffee while we listend to the Who’s Live at Leeds. Old England and New England – two great tastes that taste great together. ‘Great taste’ might be a bit of a stretch for Dunkin’ [...]

The bird announced its presence with an attack on a group of people touring Fenway while the Red Sox were off on their season opening world tour. The species is either going to be named Joshus Beckettus or Jonathanus Papelbonus – we have to find out if the event occurred at the beginning or the [...]

A Point to Consider
Ugh. Finished 10th in the RiverChaser’s tourney on Thursday night. At least I made some points for my BBT3 run, so um, yeah: huzzah and bully for me.

Google has introduced a feature into Gmail that lets you send emails in the past.
I’ve already hacked their algorithms into this website – I wrote this post last year. Unfortunately I left it in my draft box until today, April 1st 2008.
