The Phillies are in the World Series Not only is this cool, itapos;s a year ahead of schedule for us Philadelphia folks:
The Phillies last went to the world series in 1993, and lost to the Blue Jays.
Four years later, 1997:
The Flyers go to the Stanley Cup Finals, lose to the Red Wings.
Four years later, 2001:
The Sixers go to the NBA Finals, lose to the Lakers.
Four years later, 2005:
The Eagles go to Super Bowl XXXIX, lose to the Patriots.
So I wasnapos;t expecting this until 2009. Heck, since they broke that trend, maybe theyapos;ll actually win it One can only hope...
Meanwhile in personal news...Iapos;ve entered the 2nd Annual National Sudoku Championship which will take place in Philly on October 25th. Last year, I tried advanced; this year I stepped it down a notch and entered the intermediate section. Did I also mention I didnapos;t finish two of the rounds last year? I love hard puzzles, but not with a time limit hanging over my head. Iapos;m confident I can finish 3 intermediate puzzles within the 30 minute time limit; I might even have a shot at the finals. Win or lose, it should be fun
Oh, thereapos;s also a chess tourney at the end of November. In case anyone hasnapos;t figured it out, I really donapos;t have an issue with being called a nerd anymore :-)
One other thing...I heard Guns apos;napos; Roses (remember them?) is finally putting out their "Chinese Democracy" album a mere 14 years after their last one. Hereapos;s the irony: thereapos;s are the actual lyric from a song on "Use Your Illusion II":
But itapos;s been fourteen years of silence
Itapos;s been fourteen years of pain
Itapos;s been fourteen years that are gone forever and Iapos;ll
Never have again
I wonapos;t be buying the album. I grew tired of the music; it was good for staying awake when I worked the overnight supermarket stock job but now Iapos;ve mellowed out a bit. Besides, Iapos;m almost certain my wife doesnapos;t like it...
Ok, enough for now. Go Phillies
