Here’s to the Next 11 (and beyond!)
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Eleven years ago yesterday, we wed. She’s as beautiful as ever. According to Judah, the same can’t be said of me. Be that as it may, I’m glad she’s still mine.

No Class Meet Classy
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008The lowly Mets reached new depths by firing their second winningest pitcher in history in the middle of the night, by press release, after he held a post-game press conference 3,000 miles away from media scrutiny. Glad I’m a Yankee fan! As much distaste as I had for how the Steinbrenners ended Joe Torre’s managerial [...]
