It's *the* iconic line in the iconic title song of an iconic film featuring an iconic cast I mean, Billy Joel and Madonna? I don't even know those songs. Or the John Fogerty song, for that matter. They're just doing it to fuck with us. Or maybe just to fuck with me. Humph. [23] Yeah, but still. It’s *the* iconic line in the iconic title song of an iconic film featuring an iconic cast

We're jumping the border a few blocks to the actual suburbs. For me, this is a resting spot for a bigger move in the near future, but at least we finally solved one of the biggest issues to date, and not a day too soon! The market here has been getting really, really, super competitive for apartments in the last couple of weeks and we nearly got pushed out of the region altogether. Now neither of us (my roommate and I) have to give up our jobs, and we get to sleep a little more peaceful-like. Lovely!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Scranton location, as Frankie Brains has a a surprisingly similar, if not equal effect on the base paths. If we can harness that energy... a rejuvenated Jorge would be top priority! NJ would be a bit more useful as well... not to mention clearing up Girardi's indecisiveness, if not his judgment...
