    For the second week in a row, yesterday Piper was bumped back from her scheduled GJ tube procedure. Apparently there was a kid in more dire need of it, and IR could only take on case from the PICU. We aren’t too frustrated about it. Now that CS is full again, there is no real…

    As I sat here at my desk, eating my dinner tonight, I browsed through the takeout menu that came with my food. I couldn’t help but wonder if Bob and Doug Mackenzie ever eat at this place.

    I know that it is getting close to the fourth of July when I hear an increase in the frequency of firecrackers going off at night. Having so many Dominican neighbors, we are used to hearing them pretty much year round. They don’t really need a special occasion to stay up all Monday night pounding…

    Today was the stereotypical Monday. By the time I was getting out of the subway, the B-berry was already buzzing out of the holster. I walked into my office to the phone ringing and 4 voicemails. So awesome. Enough of that crap though. I had a few thoughts, and transactions today that broke me out…

  • Rossi goes down in the first, Stoner coasts to victory, Pedrosa takes over as points leader

    I don’t think that anyone was expecting to see what happened this weekend in Holland. It was crazy from the first lap to the last. Out of the grid, Pedrosa was able to get ahead of Stoner. I think that if Rossi could have teamed up on Stoner, with Pedrosa, it would have been a…

    I know that it has become a massive cleche, about the weekend being too short, but this one really seemed that way. I’m not really complaining though. I worked from home on Friday, so it was almost like I got a head start on the weekend. Anyway, my absention from non-water beverages was cut short…

  • Stoner poised for another banger at A-Style TT Assen

    From the first few laps of FP1, Stoner has been on a mission this weekend. He pulled down times faster than anyone. But in the qualifier, he took the lid off of the can and went completely nuts. He will start on poll tomorrow, earned with the fasted lap time ever run on a motorcycle…

  • Economic Overstimulus Plan

    Jake

    We received our economic stimulus check this week. Woo hoo, the economy has been stimulated. Everything is now better. When I remember George W. Bush, I’m going to remember the way he saved the economy by mailing me a check. sarcasm aside, I guess I can’t complain too much. I did, after all, deposit the…
