Back to life; back to reality
Greetings all. I’m back from my work-related conference to Mohegan Sun. I love the irony of going to an economic conference at the casino gaming capital of New England. I just about broke even, so I can’t complain at at all.
In other news, looks like the Red Sox are coming back..but man, Dice-K in a game 7 situation? Was Bob Stanley not available?
Oh, tonight I saw one of the most amazing MLS games ever — New England at Toronto. It had an amazing goal by the Revs late in the first half, followed by an amazing equalizer during injury time in the second half. Quite the fun game to watch.
Have you seen 30 Rock this past week? The GE executive’s name is Jack Donaghy, played by Alec Baldwin. In this week’s episode, he hires a Private Eye to investigate himself. The PI asks him if he has any family guilty of crimes and he says he has a cousin in the NBA who fixed games. (The NBA guy has the same last name as the character). I thought it was rather funny that it was addressed in a show. Reminds me back in 1981 and the Greatest American Hero’s last name was Hinkley, until that guy shot Reagan, and then they changed his name because people would be too stupid to figure out that this is a FAKE TV SHOW. Good times.
I need to get some sleep..
