Saturday Morning
Answer to Hober's comments:
First off - why do I get the feeling that Hober just posted a comment to plug his own blog? But looking at it, why is the post from July? Did you start it way back then? Didn't you go to Hawaii or something? Where are those pictures?
The previous post alludes to the news that DFW - David Foster Wallace - who I have become a big fan of killed himself last week. So it was more shock than surprise. The book, Infinite Jest, I read earlier this year (after being in the 'to read' pile for 10 years) is his best known novel. And you need 2-3 months of constant reading because that thing is a beast. Not just because of the page count but it's dense, the paragraphs (and sometimes the sentences) can run on for pages and you're constantly checking the footnotes in the back. But it's well worth it.
Not much of an update for this week, I think it's just been full of meetings at weird times - 10pm, 6am, that sort of thing. I did get a lot of reading done this week in the news web pages and a couple of books but that kind of tailed off towards the end of the week. Right now I'm taking a break from cleaning my apartment and then I think I'm going to the mall to buy some new clothes - all sorts of excitement.
In Aussie football Geelong beat the Bulldogs last night, though it was a really good game and tonight the Saints (my team) are playing the Hawks for a trip to the Grand Final (their Superbowl) next week. And best of all, Ula is coming home today after being in Greece since August 22. She lands at 0030 on Sunday.
And what is going on with the Sox playing TB? Come on. You're killing me.

Plug my own blog? I wouldn't do that. (lifeofhober.blogspot.com)
And yes, I did write a post, save it as a draft, and not put the pics to it for like two months.
As for the Sox, they need to clinch already. They need to rest some guys, and figure out setting up the rotation. They need to get JD & Lowell healthy and some at-bats in meaningless games. But first they need to clinch. And going up against Lee tonight will not be easy.
