I keep all important birthdays in Mac's Address Book. When doing my GTD weekly reviews on Sundays, I write down whoever is having a birthday in the next two weeks on my grocery list and buy the cards when shopping.

As a lifelong Sox fan who's a member of the diaspora, I find the Red Sox Nation club and the presidency a disgrace.

Smart Red Sox fans like, um, me were sad to see Damon go, but we would have been more upset if the Sox had kept him.

Great post! All of the negativity about the Pats in the comments section rocks and it rules and it rocks. It still blows my mind that my football team—the NE Freakin' Patriots—make the fans of every other team jealous.

A vote for Kige is a vote for sincerity. And Walmart.

I've had problems with it too. eBay needs a major overhaul, which I think it is in the process of doing. A lack of a clear competitor in the auction business has caused it to stop innovating and instead focus on other projects (like Skype).

That's a lot of time to unsubscribe. I hate getting all of those catalogs, but I feel good knowing those companies are wasting their money. I get something from Dell every two weeks or so and would never buy anything from it.

I was at the gym this morning. TVs were tuned to MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN. I didn't time the coverage, but all three seemed to be devoting more coverage to Vick, confirming a story we knew last week, than Gonzo. I hate America.

I personally believe that American schools in the United State of South Carolina are personally really bad.

I coached little league for a couple of years. The baseball part was great; dealing with the parents and the bureaucracy, however, led me to give it up.

Soda, and it's not just because I own stock in Coca-Cola. Generic sodas don't taste the same as Coke.

Props to Rotoworld for calling out ESPN's bogus story that it plastered everywhere:

Props to the Philadelphia Inquirer! Now if only other newspapers would can their employees who recycle their TV appearances as columns (I'm looking at you, Boston Globe).

What? No Wake Forest?

Maybe he can use his earnings to buy some nicer skivvies to wear at weigh-ins.

The problem with weddings is the competitiveness. Almost all the members in a social group get married. Rather than focus on the celebration, it seems too many people focus on oneupmanship.

All I got is title, phone, website. I figure if someone has my e-mail address, he or she already has the best way to get in touch with me.

Please don't confuse Boston with Connecticut.

With that attitude, he should've just stayed with the Pats as Brady's backup.

I always liked the succinct yet effective "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
