Hooray. Baseball is back. Thank you ESPN for showing non-stop baseball all day today. And yes, thanks for letting my watch my Cubs blow a dramatic 9th inning comeback in the following inning.
And, to Kosuke Fukudome: Welcome to the MLB! In his first MLB game as a Chicago Cub, he went 3 for 3 with the game tying 3-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning. So far, he's batting 1.000 -- that's pretty good for a MLB debut.

Blog-a-riffic!
According to Universal Hub, Somerville is one of the bloggiest towns around! I wish I had more to say - I guess I'm not bloggy enough.
How many more ways can we stretch the noun blog into verbs, adjectives, and adverbs? That would be blogtastic.

Isn't it Strange...
Isn't it strange that you have to have a garbage bag to throw away an empty box of garbage bags? Every time I open a new box of garbage bags, I always feel strange throwing away the old empty box of garbage bags.
Red Sox vs. Tigers
No, not the Detroit Tigers - That would be the Hanshin Tigers. I'm sure as all of you already know, the Red Sox are over in Japan and are playing two exhibition games against Japanese teams. The first game is Friday night (well, Saturday afternoon in Japan) against the Tigers. On Sunday, they'll be playing the Yomiuri Giants.
Unfortunately, neither of these games are scheduled to be televised over here. I was convinced that NESN or ESPN would broadcast the game. However, according to mlb.com, it'll only be on their MLB TV subscription service.
I'd love to watch the game. I've never seen a Japanese baseball team play - and with an 11:00 pm start time, Friday's game would be the perfect game to watch. I understand that opening day will be on March 25th - but at 6:00 in the morning, its highly probable that I'm not going to get my ass out of bed to watch.
And just an FYI - if you're interested, Game On over by Fenway will be opening at 6:00 am on the 25th to broadcast the game - complete with a delicious breakfast. Its tempting, but 6:00 am is just way to early for a lazy bachelor like me. I'll just DVR the game and watch it later.

Spring is here????
According to my calendar, today is the first day of spring. According to me, its still winter. Accuweather claims that the "real feel" temperature is 30 degrees with the 30 m.p.h. wind gusts. That sounds, looks, and feels like winter to me!
C'mon mother nature! Its spring! Make the cold go away!

Bye Bye Prudential Blues
Whelp, the lights on the top of the Prudential Tower are back to normal now. They're back to their standard white. Honestly, I preferred the blue band of lights around the top. I still have no idea why they switched to blue lights. Strange

The Biggest Loser
I'm addicted to this TV show - "The Biggest Loser". Watching average people just like me work their butts off for 3 months - and seeing the weekly progress is really inspiring. I'm not overweight, and I'm not trying to lose weight - but these folks have convinced me to eat better and start lifting some weights.
If they can do it, why can't I? What kind of strength can I build in 3 months working out at the gym every day? I've seen what these average Joes have done - I'm going to do the same thing.
And ya know what? I am doing the same thing. Since the new year, I've been hitting the gym at least 3 days a week. I haven't lost any weight (which is fine - I'm skinny). However, I now have to pull my belt one more loop to keep my pants up. That amazes me. People always forget how many calories are actually burned with a weight lifting workout. You don't have to run 5 miles a day to see results!
Sure, I'm not very strong, and I use all the wimpy barbells. But I don't care. You gotta start somewhere. Just gotta stay persistent.
That is all. Now back to your regularly scheduled blog about nothing. :-)

Prudential Blues?
I took a gander at the Boston skyline from my deck this evening and noticed something just wasn't quite right. After a double take, I noticed that the top band of lights on the Prudential Tower are BLUE!
I swear, I'm not seeing things. What's going on?
