While there is something to be said for maintaining a bit of mystery, I will say I ain't packin' no 13 inches.

Be careful with that. Your life is more important than your job. (Then again, if it's a Tuesday, I would pull myself out of an iron lung to come in to work.) And in other news, the thyroid biopsy came out negative.

I think Starbucks' regular coffee is better than Dunkin' Donuts. I refuse, however, to speak Italian at them. None of this "venti" bullshit. I'm all about "large regular, room for milk."

Ha! I blew through my SATs because I had a ticket to see them on that tour and they were both ON THE SAME DAY!

Hope your having/had a great time up the mountains! I swear, someday we'll do lunch.

And no fucking Olympics this year to wear out Henrik and Jaromir.

"Rumsfeld quits; Bush names Gen. Zod defense secretary"

Let's go Rangers!

Dunkin' Donuts, actually, killed off our local coffee shop. We don't have a Starbucks yet, but it would seem one is coming.

No, Kal-El is his name whatever planet he's on. Clark Kent is his slave name.

Jeebus! Starbucks to triple store numbers Starbucks has increased its long-term store expansion target to 40,000 outlets around the world, more than triple the existing number. The US coffee giant, which currently has 12,000 global outlets, sees half of the eventual 40,000 stores being in the US and the other half overseas. Starbucks, which had previously had a target of 30,000 branches, had not given a timescale for the new figure. Same store sales were up 6% in the five weeks to 1 October from a year earlier. This was much higher than the 3.3% rise expected by analysts. 'Unique

Rumple Minze is to me as Kryptonite is to Kal-El.

That's why I said "funk dat" and not "funk you." I don't blame people who root for their home teams; in fact, I distrust those who do otherwise. I think people who grew up around here and root for the Dallas Cowboys, for instance, have some sort of social disorder.

I have a vague recollection of a tropical storm hitting Albany in the autumn of 1985, but that might have been the Rumple Minze.

Ehh, funk dat. I would rather live in eternal war and darkness than root for the Bulls. I would even root for Miami or L.A. over the Bulls.

I wonder what Steve Garvey is up to.

The onus would be on the 60-year-old to have the better judgment. He's old enough to know better.

It was very wise to not have Rogers start at Yankee Stadium.

The wasabi and soy almonds make for fine munching, especially when beer is involved.

Well, happy writing. I'm going to take three benadryl and hit the sack.

I wasn't either. Papa couldn't write much until he had a good buzz on. The key is not getting so drunk that you can't type any more.

I am going to open a bottle of wine.

No, it would never work.

Dude, you mix vodka and SoCo and your paper will be about vomit.

Hemingway would be soooo proud of you.
