Cardinal

So we have a Cardinal living in out neighborhood. I’ve been trying to get a picture but the damn bird isn’t cooperating.

Today when Jen and I got home from visiting my mother in the hospital we pulled into the driveway and the Cardinal flew onto the driver’s door side mirror! He sat there for a solid two seconds and then pissed off. He flew into a nearby tree. If you squint a little you still probably can’t see him in this camera phone picture.


Still… It was wicked cool.

Red Sox Luck

Jen and I had Red Sox tickets tonight but due to the crappy weather we had decided to skip it. We tried selling the tickets but couldn’t find a buyer on craigslist.

The Red Sox sympathized with our plight. They postponed the game due to the rain. So now we will be able to go to the make up game.

Thanks, Red Sox!

I’m Not Crazy

I often feel like I might be crazy. Today, I’m not crazy. It kinda sucks, but I’m not crazy.

We’re not going to Fenway tonight. It’s cold. It’s raining. Wakefield is pitching. We’re going to give this one a miss. We are, however, going to visit my mother in Mass General. She was checked in for a chemo treatment and we’re going to put our afternoon off to good use.

I decided to take Bob and Doug Mackenzie’s Strange Brew DVD for a spin. Can you believe that Max von Sydow was in that flick? Nope, neither can I.

Phrase of the Day

The phrase of the day is: Fish Tank.

The plan was to get a gold fish bowl for my step son, but like all such plans it escalated quickly.

We have a 10 gallon starter kit. If the rain ever slows down I’ll go get it out of the car and we will set it up.
