Sorta proof of work

Next Afghanistan rotation announced

This isn't really my story -- I didn't write most of it -- but it proves I was awake for at least part of the day yesterday.

i guess it's time to reclaim the throne. today i played 'leo of arabia III' i went down my basement, which is 100 degrees, and dumped 70 bags of sand before planting poppies and setting off mortar shells, which didn't go over so hot with the neighbors. or the basement.

Cap'n, do you podcast the Preston and Steve show? If not, and you're craving a bit of Philly, you can download the Vince Papale interview from the August 2nd episode. Just download the file and skip to the 1 hour and 9 minute mark. The interview will get you even more riled up for Invincible and the football season. Speaking of Invincible, anyone want to arrange a movie night?

Oh yeah, if you do download the episode from August 2nd, check out the episode from August 3rd as well. In particular, listen to their interview with Alan Thicke. It starts around the 17:40 mark of the podcast and runs for about 20 minutes. Who would have thought that Mr. Seaver would be so entertaining? I think it might be one of their best interviews ever.

Pauly...when and where for Invincible? Lets do it...and we'll get some cheese steaks (Leo's choice...Jim's, Steve's, Pat's, Geno's)and some Lager...we'll be bleeding green the whole weekend...

Um, yeah, I understand (or misunderstand) that the Phillies management think they were trading away salaries and working on the rest of the season as well as next year being a "rebuilding period" (not that we haven't heard that every season since '93) but, yeah...they have won 6 out of the last 7, swept the Cards, and Utley is now batting .405 (62-for-153) during his streak, is hitting .330 overall and leads the National League in hits (144), multihit games (46) and runs (93). Not that anyone is counting...or thinking that could make a run or something in August or September...
