Random Thoughts from Past Week

Sorry for the sappy back-to-back blog posts. I'll try to keep it real with some (crude) thoughts that I had rattling around the old brain this past week....

• I got a smile on my face today when I heard that Curt Schilling's career was potentially over because he's having season ending shoulder surgery. :-) Too bad that the surgery couldn't have been to staple his mouth shut...
  
• On each street corner in Scranton there was "Welcome to Scranton" signs sponsored by local businesses. One was sponsored by Dunder Mifflin. Seriously. I tried to get a picture, but couldn't get one in time.
  
• Out of my 4 open house events this week (still 5 to go, jesus), I only got yelled at only by two women. One was a crazy eyed environmentalist who didn't like the format of our open houses because it didn't give the public a chance to discuss -- or scream -- in an open forum. The second was a Twp. supervisor - WHO RAN A TOWNSHIP THAT WASN'T EVEN AFFECTED BY THE PROJECT. She also told me that she hated the format, said I was sneaky and told me twice to stop speaking. What a b'yatch.
  
• To answer an anonymous person's post from my blog about sportswriting -- I'm guessing it was BBR -- no I did not hook up with any Maryland field hockey players during my time there. I also did not hook up with any women's soccer players when I covered them as a freshman, but I did get close to hooking up with a women's softball player when I was covering them as sophomore. And by close, I mean that I tried and she told me that she liked me as a friend. As I was leaving her room, I saw a rainbow above her closet. I'm just saying....
  
• Does anyone now doubt Joba's potential as a starter after yesterday's line of: 5 2/3 innings, 1 run, 4 hits and 9 K's. I didn't think so.

• And finally...When I returned last night from Scranton, I discovered that after a week without me, both my wife and the cat had started to mimic each other.
