Here we go again!

My beloved Red Sox are spiraling out of control...again. We are consumed with injuries, our pitching staff can't do anything right, and our offense can't put enough runs on the board to keep ahead of the poor pitching. We need Tek back. We need Trot healthy. There are so many factors. C'mon guys....WE STILL BELIEVE!

One of the Greats



I just finished watching one of the all-time great movies....Duel. One of Steven Spielberg's finest. That dusty semi, the mysterious driver, and the shaky camera work all add up to a thrilling, suspense-filled 90 minutes. I love the scene at the end when the truck goes over the cliff, it almost has a sound of someone writhing in pain. The movie must have cost about $12.50 to make, $10 of which went towards the rattlesnake rentals. When you watch the credits at the end, it takes about 20 seconds to list everyone in the movie, including the snake lady. No matter how many people were in it, it is still by far one of the greatest.
Kudos, Mr. Spielberg.
