Haiku for You #178

On Patriots Day in Massachusetts, the Boston Red Sox play a morning game, which starts at 11:00am. It’s timed so that the fans will exit Fenway Park just about the same time the Boston Marathon reaches Kenmore Square. It’s a great little mini-tradition, and I always enjoy listening to the Sox game on the radio while I work.

Today’s haiku for you is the story of how WEEI and the Red Sox ruined it for me today.

Turn on the Sox game
and hear Sean McDonough’s voice.
Fucking hate that guy.

Haiku for You #177

I was so happy to see the temperature start to go up a little that I more or less forgot about the constant rain we had through the entire Spring, Summer, and Fall last year. Crud.

The weather warms up,
And the rain starts a fallin’.
New England climate.

Haiku for You #176

I just heard that OJ passed away.

OJ Simpson died,
At 76 years old.
Who’ll play Nordberg now?


I want to give credit where credit is due, but I can’t remember where to give it to. The Nordberg thing comes from a joke I heard back when the whole OJ thing first happened, back in 1994. I think it was Bill Maher but I’m not sure.

Today’s haiku for you is work related, but also unrelated to anything anyone I work with directly has done or needs to do. It’s just an observation that feels somewhat universal to we programming types. No specifics, no spoilers…

Tough to troubleshoot,
Without any tools to use.
Now what do we do?
