Sigh...


From Boston Dirt Dogs

Tested Positive in 2003 ...
Disappointed? Most Definitely.
Sad? Yes, very.
Surprised? I guess not.

The numbers reflect SOMETHING for every player who took P.E.D.'s

And as a Boston fan, I always agreed that perhaps we could feel a certain moral superiority because none of the Red Sox were linked to juicing - unless it was far before or after their tenure there. But now all I can feel is disappointment for the entire situation...for the fact that EVERYONE allowed it to happen.

And it CERTAINLY won't be fun next week to hear the crowd at the new Yankee Stadium when Big Papi comes up....

Why? All I wanted was a pure, wonderful memory of 2004 and 2007..... and now it's a little less "Clear"....

Walter Cronkite: RIP July 17, 2009

The man who formed network news, who brought us through the Vietnam War and the race to the moon.

How sad that he died so close to the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing...



40 Years: July 20, 1969

I am forever in awe of the accomplishments of the US space program, of the bravery of the people involved, and the endless benefits derived from human exploration.

As am 11 year old boy, I thought that those kinds of peaceful accomplishments in space would continue and accelerate...

As wonderful as the Space Shuttle is, I cannot WAIT for the new Constellation Program to bring man back to the moon and Mars.
