Dare I hope…?
Tonight the Red Sox beat the Oakland A’s to advance to the American League Championship. To me, the dream match up in the World Series would be the Chicago Cubs and the Red Sox. The Sox last won in 1918. The Cubs haven’t been to a World Series since the last time they won one, and that was 95 years ago. No matter what team wins in that matchup, how terrific a story would that be?
Tonight was fun – regardless of the outcome of the game, I spent time watching it with some friends, and that’s always fun for me. I realize that I’ve started out these posts rather sports-centric, but it really isn’t my entire life.
I finally got my Moblog up and running tonight. I tried posting the pics last night, but for some reason my Sprint phone didn’t want to cooperate with me. Finally, tonight, it did. I’ve got a pic of my dog, Hunter, on the couch along with some other oddities I’ve found while out and about. There’s also a pic of my favorite beer/beer label, Shiner. Ahhh, Shiner, how I love thee….
Ooooh. Go to this site. Go now. Most of the site is good, but you shouldn’t wait another minute before getting to see the Wit and Wisdom of StrongBad and his emails.
That’s all I’m feelng right now. I think I hear a cold Shiner calling my name….

The Monkey came back…he wouldn’t stay away…he was sitting on the porch the very next day…
So I felt the need to post again. I’m not sure why. I guess it’s just the novelty of something…well…new. Here are a few reasons I’m happy tonight.
1. A brand spankin’ new laptop humming under my fingers.
2. The Cubs won their first post-season series in 95 years.
3. The NHL season starts in just a little more than 64 hours. Go Stars!!
4. I get to start covering the team I write about, the Odessa Jackalopes, in just about a week.
Things are good. Looking to get better yet, but things are good.

So here’s where it starts. Every journey begins with just a few steps, it’s been said, and so I’m going to start walking down this road. I’ve been reading about “blogs” for months now, and even have friends who have started them, but I’ve been hesitant about starting my own. I’m not sure why – I guess part of it is just that I feel, as many people do, that no one will be interested in reading what I have to say. Well, I’m hoping that won’t be true. I’ll do my best not to prattle on and let things get stale and too “inside”.
Here’s a bit about me (without getting TOO specific): I’m 29 years old, I live in Texas and I write for a local newspaper in the Sports department. Hockey is my specialty and my love, but not my only sports interest. I work for a cell phone company to help pay the bills also. I’m married (no kids) and have a couple of animals. You will be able to see them on my moblog page before long. Until then, you’ll just have to wonder….
