I'm often referred to as a grumpy, old Mr. Burns-type fellow. In some ways, those people are correct.
For example, from time to time I watch "Wheel of Fortune."
The category was "Place." Here's the puzzle.
C _ _ Y OF L_ _ HT.
The stupid whore on the show goes, "I'd like to solve the puzzle.
"City of Work!"
She must have thought it was a silent "HT" ending, or something.
Sometimes I wish I had Pat Sajak's job.

the squad
Today was what I like to refer to as Spring Christmas (a.k.a. Fantasy Baseball Draft Day).
My team, the Axilla Allstars, are coming off a second place 2007 season. We had a nice squad of keepers (we keep 10 guys), and were able to hold onto most of our draft picks for this year.
My co-owner/team v.p. decided to go to Vegas this weekend. I called him hoping I could catch him just as he was getting back home from his trip, but naturally he missed his flight and was hungover in the Vegas airport.
This is what I'm working with, people.
Anyways, here's the squad. I'd give my draft a B-.
C- J. Varitek
1B - A. Gonzalez*
2B - B. Roberts*
3B - R. Zimmerman*
SS - J. Peralta
OF - C. Crawford*
OF - R. Braun*
OF - A. Jones
UTIL - J. Upton*
SP - C. Zambrano*
SP - F. Carmona*
RP - K. Gregg
RP - T. Jones
P - B. Lyon
P - T. Pena
P - J. Accardo
B - J. Lackey*
B - A. Harang*
B - R. Johnson
B - B. Bannister
B - U. Jimenez
* - kept from last year
All in all, we'll be competitive, but it's going to take some creativity on our part to get this team into one of championship caliber.
For all I know, my co-owner is still passed out in the Vegas airport throwing up into a slot machine bucket next to a lady with purple hair and blue eye shadow and her lucky troll dolls.
Good thing we've got over six months to turn this ship around!

out of hibernation
This has been the shittiest winter I've ever experienced in my 27 years of life. I like to think I'm pretty tough, too. After spending all of my winters in brutal climates, I can honestly say I have been through some shit-f@%^ winters.
But today is 63 degrees and the window in my study is open.
It's sunny at 5:53 PM. Very sunny.
I have fantasy baseball draft plans on my desk.
Aaaaaahhhhhh.
