Terror: Stephen King Style

I stopped at a stop light this morning, looked at the car next to me, and saw this:

If that dude looked over at me and started talking about things floating I literally would have crapped my pants.

“They float,’ it growled, ‘they float, Georgie, and when you’re down here with me, you’ll float, too–'”

Screw You, Tree

Hey tree! What the hell, brah? Fall doesn’t start until tomorrow! What the heck are you doing with the dropping leaves crap? It’s still summer, you jerk!

American League East Champions

They did it! The Boston Red Sox avoided the cliche! They made it through the month of September without a horrifying, miserable, historic collapse! They clinched a playoff spot on Thursday, but that wasn’t enough for this group of civil war re enacting misfits. They followed up Thursday by clinching the American League East Division championship with a win over the Blue Jays last night! There was no repeat of 2011 this year. Success! We are in the playoffs and we don’t have to worry about that ridiculous one game wild card play-in.

Bring on the post season! World Champs or bust! Fear the Beards!

Go Red Sox!

You should not only listen to this album, you should buy it and then get down on your knees and thank the higher power of your choosing that it exists and that you were lucky enough to hear it.

The Red Sox are Playoff Bound

I missed the game last night and do I regret it or what! Lackey took a no hitter into the seventh, and then ended up winning 3-1 in a complete game that clinched a wild card spot for the Sox. We are now officially playoff bound.

The magic number for the AL East is now one game, thanks to the combination of the Red Sox winning and the Rays losing last night. Our team could be celebrating a division win tonight if they beat the Blue Jays. Either way, one Red Sox win or Rays loss and we are the AL East champs.

After last season’s schmucko the clown nightmare coming on the heels of the chicken and beer flavored collapse in 2011, none of us thought this team had a chance. I was optimistic that they might finish the season at about .500. I would have been satisfied with that.

Now? It’s World Series or bust at this point. They have become an elite team in major league baseball. They have four pitchers who can match up with almost anyone in the game. They have an offense that can hit off anyone. They have turned into one hell of a baseball team. There is no reason they cannot win it all this year. Detroit will probably still end up being the favorite to win the American League, but it’s got to be a close call. I believe these Red Sox are up to the challenge.

Just wrap up the division tonight and get on with the playoffs!

Love

Take a look at this woman. I’ll give you a few minutes to peruse the pics…

There. Just a few pics of the same woman. Why are these pics important?

They are important, because they are all pictures of the woman I love. My wife, the love of my life, Jen. My life changed in countless ways when Jen became a part of it. She changed me for the better. She made me a better person. She found things in me that I had no idea I was capable of. I owe everything I am to her.

I love her. I try to come up with all sorts of different ways to tell her that, but they all come down to the same thing. I love her. For better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, I love her and will spend my life with her, and I can’t put into words how happy that makes me. I can’t put into words how happy she makes me. I love her. I need her. I want to always be with her.

That’s why the woman in these pictures is so special. She’s everything to me.

I love you, Jen.
