World Series, take 2

I thought I had used up all my luck when I got to go to Game 1 of the 2004 World Series, recapped here and shown here. So, imagine my surprise when my Godfather, Richard, called me yesterday to tell me he had tickets for Game 1 and Game 2 of the 2007 World Series. Gulp. Wow.

So, I'm headed to Fenway tonight to see Josh, Manny, Papi, Youk, Pedroia, J.D., Jacoby, Lugo, Tek, and Mikey take on the Rockies. And, tomorrow I'll see Mr. Big Game, Curt Schilling, take the mound.

I'll post pictures and stories from the games later this week.

Typhoon

I've always wanted to see a picture of a giant wave. I've always had a hard time trying to picture a wave 50 or 80 stories high. No more imagining needed.

Typhoon Krosa pounded northern Taiwan with powerful winds and torrential rain, forcing offices and schools to close and disrupting air and road traffic. (Photo credit: SAM YEH/AFP/Getty Images)

Gassy

Boy do I get worried about society's general intelligence when I see Craigslist postings like this one.

That shooting star is crappy

Interesting, quick talk from astronaut about toilets on space crafts. Think about it, with zero gravity, how can you safely defecate?
