high hopes

The level of ambition I felt towards today's post is symbolic of the role ambition has played in my life as a whole. I was all into it and I had a lot of big ideas and energy to spare, and then somehow time got away from me so you get what you get.

In today's case, I was going to hit you with a full-on brilliant post up in this space (about what I dunno), and I was also gonna hit you with the end of the stupid and painfully slow Trayline saga, which has now been going on for so long that all but the most patient have lost interest. And I was also going to post Joe Monkeyweb's softball recap complete with box score and league leaders.

Well, I got to one out of three: here's Joe's recap. Thanks for the fine work as always, Joe. Next week I am going to bring my camera so we can get some action shots. Maybe even some video. Because I just don't think we've goten dorky enough.

And who wants to be official statkeeper? It's a resume-bolsterer, I assure you.

cW checks in with this query:

Hey were points alloted for last week's do-something-nice-for-your-fellow-man-blah-blah- dat? Because I done did what I set out to done do. And the world is better for it.

Well, cW, did you complete your task within a week's time as specified? If so, you get the points and you are also the only one who amounted to anything. Well done.


There's another shot from Central Park this weekend. See all those people? Jon Bon Jovi has rocked a significant number of them over the years. Honestly, I wonder if anyone there is in a bad mood.

Yeah not much again today. Howzabout we give out some Jean-yus points. 5 points for each reasonably funny set of team names you suggest for next week's softball game. Limit one set per respondent.

I drank some decaffeinated tea today. Not so bad.
