Boo!

Maybe next year…

So, the Cubs have gotten to the playoffs and they start on that hopefully long road tonight 🙂 I had a hair-brained scheme in my mind to head up there today or tomorrow for the NLDS, but in the end those tix are ‘spensive and I think the World Series would be far better to financially prepare for 🙂 But, we’ll see…saving up for a couple things, and all.

Here’s a song by Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) titled “All the Way”.

This is totally the year 🙂 But, I felt that way in ’03 and it turned out to be just gas.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

Oof wah!

And so it was that the geek was surprised. I found out just this morning serendipitously that Terminal in OS X has tabbed ability. Now I can open up multiple BASH prompts in one frickin’ window. Must have been something introduced with Leopard?

And so it was that the geek was happy…

Carlos Zambrano pitched the first no-hitter by a Cubs pitcher since Milt Pappas on Sept 2, 1972!!!

Just to jinx it right now so I don’t get my hopes up…I think this is the year…

Wow…she really does look like Palin. lol.
