Summer Fun

It's hot up here in TO!

But I haven't played baseball in a looooooong time, just been organizing my room as of late.

Anyhow, the Jays have dropped 2 straight to Tampa. This just goes to show that the All-Star Break is a monumental mark in the season. Say, Tampa lost 7 going into the break, but now they look extremely well rested (except for Kazmir maybe), and Toronto is experiencing the exact opposite fate. The Jays confidently took 5 of 6 before the Break and now seem to be lackadaisical on offence once again. Sigh, just keep on fightin', boys!

In less than 3 weeks, the Games of the XXIX Olympiad will get underway in Beijing, China. Right now, I'm busy working on a very lengthy article on the diminishing spirit of the Olympic Games and what factors are ruining the great celebration that once was. If all goes well, look for the entry sometime in the next 2-3 days.

Man, I just HAVE to pass this on: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040401721.html This brilliant and clever article was the winner of this year's highly touted Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. In brief, it's a music experiment, but not just any music experiment, no no, this is what happens when you put Joshua Bell, an international virtuoso violinist in street clothes and have him perform in a bustling Washington subway station...yes, it's very long, but definitely worth the read!

Time for a hair cut!!
