Saffy the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Discovers Toilet Paper - Mayhem Ensues

She is a good dog most of the time. Just not when we're sleeping and she wants to play and we accidentally leave toilet paper on the floor of the bathroom.

Beer Mile Date Announced

The Burke-Gilman Beer Mile will take place on June 14th, 2008, at the
Martin family farm in Snohomish, WA. The event will be renamed to "The
Barnyard Beer Mile" and will feature a cross-country style quarter mile
course through a Snohomish pasture. Runners will be encouraged to
embrace the farm and/or hick theme and dress appropriately.

Many people have been curious about the movement of the event to a new
location and date, and here are some frequently provided answers:

* The old location provided a very poor viewing experience for
spectators. The new location will allow everyone to watch all the fun.

* The old location was partly on neighborhood streets and posed a risk
to runners and property. The new location is entirely on private
property.

* It is technically illegal to drink in public. The new location is
entirely private.

* We can have the event earlier in the day without worry of running over
cyclists.

* Finally, the weather has traditionally sucked in early-to-mid May.
While June is no guarantee, the probability of getting a sunny afternoon
is higher.

The (Not So) Great Wall of Fremont

Well, I think it is great. I still need to put the finishing touches on the side retainer, but functionally it is all set.

History Bodes Ill for M's

Looking at all the seasons with comparable starts, 14-22 through 36 games, produces expected results.

Year Start Final Record
2006 15-21 78-84
2005 14-22 69-93
2004 13-23 63-99
1999 15-21 79-83
1994 15-21 49-63
1992 14-22 64-98
1988 15-21 68-93
1986 14-22 67-95
1982 15-21 76-86

I still look forward to individual contributors like Bedard, King Felix, and Ichiro to provide highlights on SportsCenter, and for Beltre to continue quietly adding my fantasy stats, but the playoffs are already out of the question.

And to think, poor Scott didn't even get his lousy bobblehead.

Happy Hour Beer Run?

In a stroke of originality, Jesse Williams and his squad of hetero man-friends Craig and Licoln have decided to host some happy hour runs.

Life on the Run: Happy Hour

Hmmm, where have I heard this idea before? Oh well, still fun. And you don't have to have a stupid nickname.

I guess I only had verbal implied consent instead of explicit written consent to record Jacob at the Yankees game.
