I go away for a couple of days to take in the Opening Round of the tournament and digest ONLY that. I come back Sunday afternoon and in a bleary-eyed stumble through unpacking, checking emails, cursory glances at the television, I completely miss that Georgetown was bumped from the tournament. What a bummer. I thought they had a real shot.
I missed a ton of other stuff... Like this whole Obama on WIP business. I'll rant on this another time. But when you dime out your grandmother, "that's when the chickens will come home to roost."
My Phillies season tickets are sitting either in a UPS truck or my neighbors house or both, I'm anxious to get them in hand, ready for this weekend. Because I'd really like to try out some of these new Food options at the ballpark... Although, all the food and drink I had this weekend, I need to detoxify.
I'll start with some Kristen Wiig, the new Phil Hartman. And End with some Starbuck and the "Battlestar Galactica" Top Ten List.

- Someone called Byko a racist outside the FYE on broad and chestnut
But Saturday morning, my hands full of purchases made at Macy's, I passed a skinny, olive-skinned African-American in his early 30s leaning against the f.y.e. store at Broad and Chestnut.
The guy might have been right, according to HammRadio sources, Byko was carrying a bunch of David Allen Coe records.
As I passed, he said, "Racist pr---."
I turned to see who he was talking to. I was the only one there.
Feeling a "column moment," I calmly asked him why he called me that.
He said, "You're a white motherf-----." He spoke matter-of-factly, without visible anger.
If my hands were free, I might have told him whose mother I was doing, but no good would come from this. I walked away.
- Adults forced back into their parents homes
- This worries me. Because my parents live in an apartment. On the other hand they do have HBO and Tivo, so I guess I could survive a bit. This reminds me of a story, when my mom said her brother Michael was coming back "home" meaning to the east coast. My Dad... panicked.
- Wanna became a Phillies FAN blogger for the Courier Post??
- Come on... you know you want to!
- Mark Summers reads message boards
- The Double Dare TV host and now food network host/producer was on
Y100 , I mean, WMMR this morning with Preston,Marilyn and Steve and shared a story about some blogger (it was actually a message board poster), who claimed he had a face lift. I walked by him outside my work a few months ago. I noticed no face lift. I did notice he was shorter than I. And I'm pretty short. I'm ready for the rebuttle Mr. Summers, Ms, SnarkyKat or Snarkykitty or whoever, may be faceless... But I am not!!!- Things I missed from the last week
- This article on animated features, that aren't quite disney-esque
- Anyone know a good way to manage email?
- I have some thoughts on it. But then again... Of course, I left my Outlook open on my home computer, which means, I couldn't access my webmail all day long.
- Macnow to the middays?
- I like him in the nights. I won't be able to listen to him. On the other hand, we will be without the superior than you, main-liney attitude of Steve Martorano. And that my friends is a good thing.
