Lots of phone calls tonight, cranky/bitchy S.O., working on resume, surfing Monster and dreaming of the Mid-Levels apartment I will never have-generally crying in my beer. FUCKING RED SOX! That sums THAT up!. More tomorrow. In the meantime, go read the other Skippy. He’s on a roll with this post.

Except the people who have to march in one. Back in the day, when I was young, trim, and a strapping symbol of virility enrolled at the Fortress of Learning, we used to pray weekly for the heavens to open up on the city of Charleston each and every Friday

A tasty dish of crow that is. Deborah , I’ll have my crow sauteed with mushrooms please…….. And as for the Tribe? Well, I guess the razors can go back on the shelf for another year. I’m a Cubs fan after all-I thrive on dissapointment…………. At least the Yomiuri Giants

And a huge bit of begging. S.O. and I are going up to Nikko for an overnight-to watch the turning leaves and hopefully get me (and her) out of this simultaneous funk we are in before we kill each other. Can anyone help me figure out how to set content
