lots of sporting news. and some not-so-sporting news.

the red sox are back on track. we like curt. we likey him a lot. kate and mitzi head down on a road trip tomorrow to baltimore to see tim wakefield kick some oriole ass. i’m very jealous.

my other b-boyz (yayyyyyy!!!!) start their stanley cup playoffs against montreal (boooooo!!!), and i’ll be listening over the internet.

in the not-so-sporting news…

iraq has turned into a bloody nightmare, saddam has been ferried out in secret, and yet georgie is being his usual blustering intractable self… at the expense of human lives. the *only* positive to come out of this insane disaster, is that people may finally be starting to wake up.

in the meantime, back at home, amnesty puts facts to what we already knew: america’s judicial system is in the same class as those of iran, china, and vietnam.

and because we now live in this kind of world, it is seemingly not enough that we all have national insurance numbers (the brit equivalent of the social security #). not enough that we are constantly under surveillance by cctv. not enough that we have to have tv licenses, and driver’s licenses and (soon) biometric passports. now they want a national identity card. mark my words, the u.s. will not be far behind.

only one more sleep til the long weekend. i daren’t look at the weather forecast, since a) it will be wrong and b) even if it’s good, it’ll be wrong.

i need a break. the state of the world is getting me down, and while it won’t make anything better, rainy or sunny, a weekend away from news of bombings and bloodshed and fear will do wonders for my sanity…

have i mentioned i can’t wait?
