My wife and I were listening to the game on the radio in the kitchen. The rest of my family (yep, still with us for a couple more weeks) were all sleeping, so when A-Rod struck out, we found ourselves jumping up and down in the kitchen, trying to cheer and high-five as quietly as possible. In this age of High Definition TV, I find the image of you and your wife gathered around the radio in the kitchen to listen to the game quite charming. |

In the Yankees series the Tigers lost both games we watched at friends' places on TV. However, they won all three we listened to on the radio, so we decided to do our part to help, and stay home to listen on the radio.  BTW, in perhaps the most, "No crap, really?" news story of 2011, today's Grand Rapids Press had a front page article about fan superstitions. The byline for the story states, "Superstitions won't help your team, psychologist says." Really? You mean me not brushing my teeth for a week doesn't make my favorite team play better? This is actually front page news? |

This is actually front page news? It's also complete crap. Last Tuesday, I was going to meet my friend at his house before we headed down to the game. I stopped at a gas station, went in and bought a soda, and dropped my car key as I took it out of my pocket on the way back out. As the key proceeded to fall down a storm sewer, I thought, "Well, that's a bad omen. We're gonna lose for sure, now!" Not only did we lose, we got humiliated. I had no fun at all that night, and it all started with me dropping that damned key. |

Got to my car, found it had a flat. Was changing the tire when suddenly it started pouring rain. |

Very well might be the case! Tonight will either be a radio-only game for me, or possibly a quick hop over to the nearby bar. If it is the local bar I decide upon and they lose again, I'm radio only for the rest of the ALCS.

Does anybody know anything about Skype? It is my understanding that is a free service, but now they have a paid service option? Thoughts??

They allow HD video chat with up to 6 people in the conversation. You have to pay for Skype Premium for that kind of service and it isn't HD. However if you just want to call people and not use it as video chat just get Skype because that feature isn't free with ooVoo. |

Thanks Z. I figured it out. The Mrs. Boss signed up for calling services (I guess you could use it like a home phone) but I got it fixed.

Kind of a coincidence, but as of today, Skype is owned by Microsoft now.

Anybody familiar with those Little Ceaser's radio spots that have the, "I'm eatin' pizza" song? That song has been stuck in my head for weeks.

View from my room. Went snorkling yesterday and saw a sea turtle, a barracuda, bunches of fish. Went surfing on thursday in waikiki. We went to pearl harbor too. Flew to the big island wednesday evening. My mother in law got married yesterday evening on the beach. Today we went to see the volcanos. Tomorrow evening we start the terribly long journey home.
