Why, of why, does anyone still use Microsoft products?
So MS sent out the latest updates (I think it's 3,567 since Jan. 1) - and upgraded my IE 8 beta to the full blown release. And now I have nothing but problems. Including the infamous "Internet Explorer has stopped working". Duh - I KNOW THAT!!!
I use an IBM PC for work with Vista (terrible) and I need to use IE for certain web applications we foster. So I am stuck. I now have Google Chrome and FireFox installed just so I can browse the web, check e-mail and generally have a grand old time on the laptop.
Life was so much simpler back in the day.
Pitchers and Catchers - the eve is here. Baseball. Beautiful.

A Keen Observation
Why do incredibly enormous women insist on wearing clothes too tight, too small and too short? And why do the vast majority of them (at least from what SoulSlam sees) have a tattoo somewhere visible. Put down the Whopper w/Cheese and order the salad ladies.

The Short Month
That is what this baby is... 28 days unless it's a leap year, so if you have goals and objectives in your professional or personal life, you get less days to do it in February. Coupled with a holiday smack dab in the middle and the time gets short.
I despise this cold and barren month - it is usually the cr**piest of them all - full of cold, cold, howling wind, snow, sleet and the Pro Bowl. Hate the Pro Bowl.
On the plus side - spring training begins in Feb. This year it is Valentine's Day for pitchers and catchers. Sweet.
So short is short and you count the days to month's end and March roars in and Spring is around the corner; the crack (ping) of the bat and the sweet aroma of freshly oiled gloves.
Time to sleep.

Deja Vu
Is some weathercaster waking up again today in Punxatawney, PA. reliving yesterday over and over again?
Back to reality - just as I suspected, the feel-good stories of the Super Bowl are over on Sports Talk Radio, at least in the greater metropolitan area, where WFAN was ripe with baseball talk today. Hallelujah!
The Caribbean World Series is on live on MLB Channel in case your jones for hardball knows no bounds.
I have discontinued watching 24. Done.
Fringe is on tonight. My Tuesday show. Try catching up.
Snowing again here in NJ. And that dang groundhog (the one in the aforementioned town) saw his shadow. The one in Staten Island bit the mayor. Good for you little g-hog!

No Patience
If you are going to tell me about the TV commercials during the SB - don't bother. I don't care. And I have little patience when anyone is going to go on and on... it is a football game, that should be the sole merit. I hate the pageant that accompanies it.
Speaking of which, even if I am a Jersey Guy, I am no fan of Mr. Springsteen. Don't care for his music for the most part. I do like a couple of songs, just as I do for U2, but that is another group I could do without. So I will miss the halftime show. If Vegas is laying odds on that - bet big!
And since I'm the honest type - I can't wait for this to be over, since it means I have one more day of talk-radio blather and then we start talking about the greatest game ever invented. 14 days to Pitchers and Catchers.
Prediction - Arizona 24, Steelers 19
Enjoy the game.

One and Six
That's my basketball team's record. We lost a heartbreaker at the buzzer today, 22-20. With 10 seconds left, we stole the ball, and one of my boys went up for a 3; and got fouled. You get 3 foul shots, he made 2 - tie game. Then with 4.6 seconds left the other team inbounded and their best player (he's actually the best player in the league) ran the court and took an 8 ft jumper with the clock ticking. Nothing but net. Good shot, good win. Hats off to the other team.
In case I never mentioned it, I also coach a clinic team of boys in 1st and 2nd grade. My youngest son is in 2nd, and this is his last year playing at this level. This is a good group of boys, but the level is 100% not organized well - I have 12 boys and 1 assistant coach. Every other team has 10 boys and three coaches total. Rough. As all my teams in hoops, we are Tenacious D, and I don't mean Jack Black's side project. I can't wait until this is finished and we're on to baseball all the time.
I like basketball, don't get me wrong. When I was a lad, I used to attend the Pocono Invitational Basketball Camp annually. But my Irish genes stopped me just short of 6' - so when I got to HS, it was adios, muchacho. In my town, the people running hoops would seem to have agendas. Oh well, I'll survive.
So while I'm on my soapbox - it's time to begin a new blog soon, exposing the unrelenting BS that occurs in my town's government. I'm still mulling it over - but the dominoes are falling.
Tick, tick, tick.
