Somebody's crazy here: Carlos Silva just signed a four year, $48 contract and Peter King says Randy Moss is worth 3 years, $21 million to the Patriots.
It's a big day for me: I get to conduct my first wedding. With two congregations of predominantly elderly people, weddings don't come up very often. In fact, no one can remember the last time there was a wedding in this church. It should be fun.
Is it a December-December affair?
That's a simply delicious comment.
It's more like July-August. A second marriage for both, but they aren't elderly. That is, they might be by Andrew's standards, but not by mine.
That made me chuckle a bit, Jeff.
Remember: "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost - who eats the fastest gets the most" is not an acceptible innovocation. Break a leg today buddy.
But don't break a hip.

Even though it was last week!
Congrats on taking the three game series from The Shill, SBG. Baby steps, man, baby steps.
I'm only one game behind the Red Sox!
So the Lakers wore throw-back short shorts yesterday in their loss to the Celts. Apparently, the players didn't like them. Kobe was quoted as saying, "I felt violated." Hey, he should know.
Meanwhile, the Blazers win 13th in a row.
Top Jimmy: "The Sports Stories of the Year in 2007 included ... baseball's drug-testing credibility going down the drain."
What a wanker. Most (if not all) of the evidence from the Mitchell Report was about usage that was either before testing, about substances that are undetectable through testing, or both. The Report says a lot about baseball's inaction prior to implementing its testing policies, but I don't think it says anything negative about the credibility of "baseball's drug-testing" since the implementation of its current policy.
Stick to writing about how much better off the Wolves are without KG, TJ.
Man, you are on a Top Jimmy Witch Hunt. Did he Mandelero you or something?
The guy plays fast and loose with the facts. Someone ought to point it out. I'm that someone.
as the master of half-baked crap, of course you are!
Jeffrey Chadiha of ESPN.COM picks an MVP for each team and selects Reggie Wayne as the Colts' MVP. Seriously. Not Peyton "I Am Everything To This Team" Manning.
I saw that the other day. While the recieving corps is very important to the Indy offense, Peyton is absolutely the most valuable player for the Colts. Having Harrison, Wayne, and Clark doesn't mean buppkiss if you've got someone like Kyle Orton throwing it to them.

+24. Nice one, E-6.
Banjo:
I don't know if you caught it earlier, but I tried "your" Cooks' Illustrated bread recipe this weekend. Well, sort of. I added a whole cup of beer (rather than just a measly 1/4 cup) and forgot the vinegar. A beautiful loaf of whole wheat bread, but a little on the bitter (rather than sour) side, probably thanks to the particular beer I used. Nothing that a little fruit jam couldn't remedy -- or a pile o' honey-baked ham.
I'll give it another try next weekend and report back. Have you tried the "straight" version?
I haven't made that leap yet, but I did make homemade bread from scratch for the first time since I moved to Minnesota on Saturday!
-10 for syntax violation, Big Guy. Did you really just move to Minnesota on Saturday?

How's that?
A+.
I watched " The Universe : Beyond the Big Bang" on the History Channel last night. Man, that was some dynamite television. If you haven't caught that yet, you should. The teaser:
How the Earth Was Made was on right before, and it was pretty darn good, too.
On a slightly different TV note, I'm anxiously awaiting the debut of Breaking Bad on AMC January 20th, and the return of Lost on January 31st. I'm starting to get the feeling that The Others really aren't the bad guys, after all.
I saw that, too. Very interesting stuff.
Is that the one with Neil deGrasse Tyson? I caught some of that at the folks' place over Christmas. It was good.
I think that he was on it, yes.
One of the reasons I've subscribed to Astronomy longer that Andrew's been on the Earth. The breakthroughs in cosmology over the last 10 years in regards to dark matter, dark energy, expansion, etc. has been remarkable. 13.6 billion years in the making, baby!
It's tough to understand why something like this would happen, considering how richly compensated college athletes are.
The cat must have gone loopy in B.C.F. after finding a faux Shearling with imitation lamb skin pocket lining in XXXXXL.
Never woulda happened if he played at a warm weather school.
(Prolly woulda pilfered beach-towels and sunglasses.)
Happy New Year to the Nation!
