The hardest sentence to write is the first sentence,
so this blog introduction will come in a few weeks. 

In the meantime, here’s some thoughts for the week.

Vinny Testaverde aggravated his Achilles’ tendon and
so may not be playing this weekend.

So can we suppose this was an old Trojan war injury?

–
Alex Rodriguez took a lot of grief for his timing in
opting out of his Yankees contract. But give the guy a
break.. it might be the only time in his career that he
does something headline grabbing in October.

–
A recent poll showed that one in five people were
superstitious about their favorite teams.
Actually, the number was considerably higher but many
fans felt that such an admission would really jinx
those teams.

–
Well of course the Rockies were swept.  All four
World  Series games ended after 12am eastern time.
And we know Cinderella’s spell ends at midnight.

–

Losing streaks?  The Red Sox have won twice in
four years, Boston College is ranked #2 in the BCS
polls,  the Patriots are undefeated — even the
Bruins and  Celtics are improving.  Yikes!  Does this
mean the next president of the US will be Mitt Romney?

–
Qualcomm stadium workeed out really well as a
relief  shelter.  Of course, the stadium had had
lot of practice with disasters as the longtime home of
the San Diego Chargers.

–
Rudy Giuliani said last week that waterboarding
was not torture.  He also announced that if he gets
the nomination his running mate will be Jack Bauer.

–
With all the criticism with his performance
after Katrina, President Bush has made a real effort
with the Southern California wildfires.  This week he
praised all the rescue workers and their efforts in
shoring up the levees.

–

Hillary Clinton celebrated her 60th birthday
last Friday. When asked about it, she reportedly said
“I feel like a 30 year old.”    And Bill said, “Me,
too.”
