No posts yesterday as I was out golfing.
Please head over to Fire Dick Jauron to see my breakdown of how Dick Jauron, despite all evidence to the contrary, still has a head coaching job. It's a sordid story of secret societies and school ties (with apologies to Brendan Fraser).
Anyway...
The baseball Update
Just linking around tonight to some friendly blogs.
Jere at Red Sox Fan from Pinstripe Territory is talking about Suzyn Waldman's crying jag.
A good back and forth from Fire Brand of the American League between a Sox blogger and Indians blogger. Y'all know where i stand - Sox in 6, mostly scoring early runs, the Sox win the battle of the bullpens.
Keep your Sox On's breakdown of the Sox-Indians.
An awesome post from Surviving Grady wherein he hopes that the Sox win the series so the Repo Man won't come take his furniture away.
And it comes with this awesome picture:
Go Paps.
So that's it for the baseball update for now. Again, for the hard of reading (i.e., Yankees fans), Sox in 6. Manny = MVP.
The Taxes Update
No Taxes update tonight as I have lost access to my work email with my summary of tax notes updates.
The Death Update
Red Shipley passed away last week. He was 70. I note his passing because of his promotion of bluegrass music, the same kind of music that led my dad to move to Missouri in 1973, pregnant wife in tow. He had some crazy idea that he and some buddies would start a bluegrass band and make their fortune (or at least fame). It didn't work out, and southwest Missouri was apparently desolate. Amish or fundamentalist Ozarkians ruled the area and my parents were woefully out of place (even though, as Vermonters, they should have been used to that). Anyway, he kept listening to bluegrass, but didn't live his dream.
As for Red, like my dad, he died from cancer, but lived a long productive life promoting the art he loved. The obit is here.
