It’s raining and windy in town today. Got soaked on my way to work, still half-asleep and had to laugh…
Top of the morning to you.

perhaps fitting that it is supposed to rain the entire blooming week.
i'm very thankful i have the basketball playoffs to focus on and to distract from this yankee slide.
when this team gets in a collective offensive slump it is miserable to watch. seems to happen a handful of times every year the last however many years.
The Yanks can take a walk and they can hit the longball, but the rally-extender (the single) seems to be MIA.

[1] I've been wondering about you, woman. I thought maybe the aliens abducted you. (And perhaps they still have; maybe they're friendly captor aliens who allow you sporadic access to the internet just to prove they're civilized.) Either way, it's nice to see you.
[3] hahaha - thanks weeping. good to see you too.
nba aliens abducted me.
i'm still around though. just not in the game threads much.
There once was a man named Posada
Whose presence was rapidly non grata
When he saw he was batting last
He opted out of the lineup fast
And caused a media intifada
..Tuesday's just as bad.
