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.

Joba looks great, but judging by his arm angle and velocity he is a few starts away from tommy john surgery....punk.

Does that mean that your wife is now living in the street, searching through trash cans for food, have fleas, and is looking for a good home?
