Tigers!

A couple of very good Tiger/White Sox games the last couple of nights. Tuesday night was especially sweet with an unexpected late homerun to win the game. Pretty good recap of that game from Jayson Stark of ESPN found here. Last night's game wasn't as dramatic but just as close with another 4-3 victory. The two teams are just a 1/2 game apart as the Sox go for the sweep tonight.
On a personal note, my magic 8-ball predicted a sweep back on Tuesday afternoon. Not that I trust the thing completely, but it's pretty good. One quirk, if I ask it if I should shop at Target it always says 'Yes'.
I'd love to see the Tigers and the White Sox make the playoffs this year. It'd be nice to see the Yankees and Red Sox battle it out without the wildcard to fall back on. And some nice faces would look pretty good.

Will do. And since we're off topic, I've tried and tried to comment on your blog and it just doesn't want to let me do it.

Yah, I think unfortunately that you have to have a hotmail address set up. Maybe I should switch over here, but I'm in pretty deep with the MSN folks. I'll send you that picture ASAP.

2024 Olympics?

Next week the US Olympic Committee will decide if they'll bid on the 2024 Olympics (I'm betting they will) and may decide on which city they'll put forth to host.  There are four cities on the host list: Boston Los Angeles San Francisco Washington DC I've long believed that if the US bids on 2024, they will win.  The US hasn't hosted an Olympics since Salt Lake City in 2002 and no summer games since Atlanta in 1996.  Given the importance that the US has, particularly in funding, a 28 year gap is a huge one. So who gets the nod?  I have absolutely no insider knowledge but I'd like to make some guesses.  Pure speculation to follow. San Francisco is an interesting choice.  The Bay Area is certainly beautiful.  I'm guessing (I haven't checked into it) that there are enough venues in NoCal to satisfy the sporting requirements.  Between the professional teams (six?) and the number of big time colleges, there must be.  Throw in the big mo...

Box Elder Bugs

Yesterday morning's breakfast started badly. I'd split my bagel in half and was ready to toast it when I noticed a BOX ELDER BUG sitting on the toaster. The FP Gal tried to help remove him but it looked like he went into one of the slots. Not cool. She then shook out the toaster over the garbarge while I helpfully supervised from the other side of the kitchen. After that we couldn't see it in the toaster. So...we did a test run to smoke it out. Nothing. After careful inspection I finally toasted my bagel. Carefully checked it for embedded insect. Found it clean and ate it. Whew! This morning I sliced my bagel. And found another Box Elder bug on the toaster. The FP Gal was still asleep so I had to take care of it myself. Kleenex over mouth, eyes barely open and a quick paper towel latter it was gone. Seriously, if I find another one tomorrow we have to sell the house.
