The randomness that is Wednesday

1. Wow. I am glad I don't live or work in downtown Boston. What a clustermouse today. But I would rather the officials overreact than ignore something and wind up with Somerville as a smoking crater.

2. You just know that George Bush let loose a sigh of relief when the great Molly Ivins passed away -- if anyone told him.

3. The Barry Bonds thing gets curiouser and curiouser.

4. No I do not care about the Super Bowl, I care about the fact that Red Sox pitchers and catchers report two weeks later, (Oh, and John Lester's already there, God bless him).

5. I am interested in hiring someone to come over and take a look at my computer and consult on and install a graphics card. Any takers?

That's all for now.

Wow, it's been cold lately . . .

My dive into Massachusetts Bay for Special Olympics is 10 days away, and it might just be the coldest evah!

I have been lucky the last two years. The water was really high two years ago, but it wasn't that cold out, and the same goes for last year. This year could be a reakky cold one.

Donate here if you can.

I have a friend, by the way, who has done more for this event, over the last three years, than anyone I know.

Thanks. You know who you are.

Wow!

More randomness

1. Good news for Ruantallan's Thanksgiving Day event (and for Ruantallaners). Air Canada begins a daily non-stop between New York (LaGuardia) and Halifax.

2. Can someone send me an e-mail address for peacockduchess? I told her I would get in touch on something after Birka.

3. Harry Potter as the crazy teen-ager in "Equus." You gotta love that.

4. The world gets scarier and scarier:

The British police conducted a series of raids on Wednesday, arresting nine suspects on terrorism charges in what appeared to be a shift in the tactics of terrorism in Britain. The suspects are accused of devising a plot that included plans to kidnap, torture and behead a British Muslim soldier and broadcast video images of his killing on the Internet.

5. As I posted a year ago (I think). I am glad I have not decided to become a fan of the Celtics or Bruins.

Time for bed.
