Thursday

Thanks for the regards, FC. Yep – it’s been two years at the same job. As the saying goes, time flies when… (take it or leave it).

Yankees v. Bosox – yep, I’d blame it on the pitching. Not pretty tv watching (well, not if you’re a Yankees fan/non-Bosox fan).

St. Louis has just beaten Houston; World Series will be St. Louis v. Boston. Very interesting to watch.

Oh, and FC – have you noticed this spammer(s) on the blog? He/they have been posting odd comments to my past posts – and it has been clogging my bulk e-mail (well, I don’t care for the clogging part, but the comments were weird). I can delete them when I get a chance… (this weekend, maybe).

TGIF tomorrow.

Ol’ Man River

Ballgame over…Series over…Pennant’s over…. you know the rest. Pretty poor performance on the part of the Yankees. P– is probably not in a good mood…. I only heard it on the radio, but it sounded like it was the pitching that was at fault.

Listening to PBS’s Broadway series. It sounds something like Ken Burns’ Civil War miniseries documentary. While generally good, there are some serious gaps: what happened to the Three-Penny Opera (Mac the Knife)? They tag Show Boat as the first modern Broadway musical, although I think that Gilbert and Sullivan counts. Coincidentally, The Three-Penny Opera was based on another British musical, The Beggar’s Opera, which was performed on Nassau Street around the corner from J&R Music World in 1750. For more info, see Musicals 101.

For everyone trying to get an education at the Electoral College in this election cycle, check out Electoral Vote 2004. I don’t know how this guy can consolidate 41 polls a day.

Shoutout to ssw — two years at the same job! Congrats!.
