I don’t know about the rest of you, but I need a little whimsy today. So I found some on the internet. I hope you like the following as much as I did.

More news like this, please
Yesterday I saw the news that Michael Clarke Duncan had died and I was SO sad. His part in The Green Mile had really left me feeling like I knew him. As an actor he’d stepped out of himself and let the character fill him. In other words, he did a damn fine job and I really, truly respected that. Geoff and I both, when we heard the news separately, felt like we’d been socked in the gut.
This kind of news, however, I could read all day.
There, fixed that for you
Dogs and politics always make strange interesting bedfellows. One has only to check out Dogs Against Romney and read about the Seamus saga to know that, or to witness the swift death of Michael Vick’s career to know that being cruel to a dog is a great way to kill your public persona in the minds of the American public.
Creepy item of the day
I’m a big fan of putting up weird, creepy, poorly thought out, and generally strange stuff here that I find in various parts of the internet. Some times they’re emailed to me and other times I just happen across them. Today, this landed in my inbox.
Turns out that I am half Cylon
Yeah, I know what you are thinking. “Um, Geoff, what are you talking about?”
Well, I have definitive proof that the Cylons, at least the ones from Earth, were Portuguese. No wonder we were such great explorers for so long.
Pneumonia
As it happens with these things, Geoff and I were approved for Commonwealth Care. We picked Neighborhood Health Plan, paid our premiums, and promptly got screwed over in every way imaginable. Before you click through to read the rest, know this. This isn’t a screed against Obamacare or Socialized Medicine, I am a fan of those things. This is a screed against incompetent people, those who don’t want to do their jobs, and corporations that put their bottom line over the health of individuals and, in this case, possibly thousands of people.
Well, this explains everything
Will someone please shoot it and put it out of our misery?
Count me as one of them
Yesterday there was a post on Boston.com about a poll that showed that 50% of Red Sox fans now want Terry Francona back.
11/11
Today was my first day off after 11 straight days of work. Why, yes, I am tired.
Pretty ladies
Things are a little crazy right now. We’re both pretty busy through the weekend. But last weekend I was able to attend my friend Tessa’s Bachelorette party. Like Teri and me, Tessa is also taking the plunge with her fiance, Brian, in September. (Only, you know, I married Geoff and Teri is marrying Patricio.)
