insomnia
It's late. I'm dead tired, but can't seem to get to sleep. I have cut way back on the amount of soda I drink lately, and therefore my caffeine intake has gone down. Perhaps my tolerance is low and the can of mountain dew I had this afternoon did me in. My job has had me spending a lot of time in front of a computer lately, and somehow long ( Read more... ) -

The Lost Numbers and the Yankees
I'm to lazy to post this in any of the million of lost forums out there, so this is to no one in particular (except maybe zoomardav):
The Lost Numbers are NOT all retired Yankees numbers. There are 15 retired Yankees numbers (16 if you count #8 twice because it honors two players). The retired numbers are:

King Phillip came over for a furry lobster.
Tip of the hat to faeriez for posting about the new crustacean discovery. And how cool is it that Kiwa hirsuta gets its own Family! That species is a family of one ( Read more... ) -

What means spring?
There's a moment in Jack Gallagher's show (now running at B Street where I work) when he delivers a long section about being a Red Sox fan. Part of Jack's explanation of the fanaticism of Red Sox Nation comes from cold New England winters, praying for spring. He asks, "and what means spring? Baseball ( Read more... )
