Thought For The Day

Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.

The River

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.
Trying to learn from what's behind you
and never knowing what's in store,
Makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores.
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
Like a bird upon the wind, these my waters are my sky.
I'll never reach my destination if I never try,
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away.
To what we put off 'till tomorrow now has become today.
So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied.
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.
- Garth Brooks, "The River" -

Thought For The Day

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply persues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.
- James A. Michener -

Thought For The Day

You can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine.

We're Back!

It cost us the price of a new hard drive (ouch!), but the blog is back in business. It's been almost a week. What have we missed?

Hillary is still hanging tough, but I think she is beginning to hurt the party. Obama needs to start concentrating on McBush.......ooops, I mean McCain., so Hillary needs to concede - soon.

The Celtics are looking pretty good. I have a hunch they will win game 6 in Detroit, especially if Rick Hamilton can't play. He looked like he was really hurting after game 5.

Did you notice that big Rasheed Wallace, a man among boys, got fined 25K for saying that the refs let the C's get away with "flopping". What a joke! Nobody flops more than Hamilton and Billups. I still can't believe that the Celtics drafted Billups and Rick Pitino couldn't figure out where to play him.

Last but not least, the Red Sox. How can they look so good at home and so bad on the road? I'm getting a bad feeling about this team. They're making every pitcher look like Cy Young.

Speaking of old Cy, he won 511 games in his career. If a pitcher won 20 games a year for 25 years, he still wouldn't reach 511. I'll go out on a limb and say that's an unbreakable record.

It's good to be back. I'll try to keep it entertaining and educational.
