Baseball has been velly velly good to me, but …

Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs in the playoffs. And Colorado just clinched a wild card tiebreaker with San Diego tomorrow. Don’t ask why I like such a spread of different teams. I just do.

The only miss - and it’s a big one - was the Mets, who blew it all month and finally lost their spot today. It makes me saddest for Gilly - Steve Gilliard - who was a winner and deserved a winner. I fully expected they’d be in the World Series.

And despite the outcomes, I sometimes just get sad because we lost a great guy like Steve.

It’s that dreaded time again

I need to raise $200 and am asking for donations. It’s not blog related. It’s just a necessary networking tool.

My cell phone has died. I have no land line. It’s an awfully inopportune time as my Mom (83) has been in and out of the hospital four times in the past two weeks with something called PVC. No, not the plastic, I think it means pre-ventricular contractions. She’s getting an erratic heartbeat that causes dizziness and nausea. If it doesn’t correct with meds she may need a pacemaker.

But the point is, I need to stay in touch. Getting a landline with long distance will come close to the $45/month I now pay for Cricket service, with much less of a cell phone’s convenience. But the offset for Cricket is they don’t discount their phones like other carriers do. For one of their low end phones plus activation fees, I think it’ll cost around $180.

And so I ask for any help you might be able to give.

It’ll also be nice to have a phone for all those eager employers seeking to hire me. With 6 weeks of unemployment left, I hope they’ll call pretty soon. And that I can answer.

Phony Soldiers Spotted

Will the Congress censure Rush’s attack on US troops? Probably not as well as the Army of Dude did.
