Ela yah!

This week was exciting, eventful and quite exhausting. Too bad about the Pats. The game didn't end until 4:20 a.m. I also stayed up until 5 a.m. Tuesday night to watch the returns come in from the Super Tuesday primaries.

The Democratic race could not be closer, and despite what people are saying about how the quick resolution of the Republican primary, I think it will help the Democrats by extrapolating the current trend: obsessive media coverage of the Democratic race and comparatively sparse attention paid to Republicans. Obama and Hilary showed in last week's mano-a-womano debate that they can and will play nice for the sake of their party. On this, Romney and Giuliani failed. They failed to win the nomination and splintered a base that will now succumb to an energized, purposeful Democratic votership. Sen. McCain can bark up the "unity" tree all he wants, but it won't amount to anything. Liberals are more united under their two candidates than Republicans ever will be under McCain.

GObama tomorrow in Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington and the Virgin Islands! I'm not sure which of these primaries are open, but independents could start gravitating to Democratic ballots in an effort to make their votes meaningful. One this might help Obama, but we can never be sure.

Castle life is good. I sleep until like 11:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thurdays, and if I actually go to bed before 5 a.m. I can get full nights of sleep!

I watched No Country for Old Men this past weekend. Make it the next movie you rent. See it.

Sucks about Schilling. But really, we'll be fine. I said to Ben this week, "You never have enough pitching until you have too much." We thought we had too much, but now we'll use it.

Beckett
DiceK
Lester
Wakefield
Buckholtz
(Tavarez and Snyder for spot starts)

We'll be fine.

Ela's coming to pick up Ben and me at the castle in a few hours! How balls is that? I submit very balls. We're spending the weekend at her house in Davensberg, Germany. Davensberg...it sounds like we're going to Pennsylvania, or something, not Germany.

I'll try the beer, but I'm pretty sure it will still taste like beer, and ergo, taste like pee. Blargh. Davensberg is next to Munster, which is famed for its cheese and chocolates. I think I'll mostly stick to that.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
