SNOW!
Between a short period of time (7am to 9am) we apparently got an inch of snow. I was still asleep and missed the actual falling of snow. I’ve always found falling snow to have a certain peace of mind affect. That is until I start figuring out if I actually have to travel through it and what those ramifications are. Snow is a tricky beast that’s best enjoyed while you have nothing to do or no where to travel to. I can still remember all the “almost” accidents that I’ve had while traveling while it was snowing.
Over the past few weeks there seemed to be a few interesting sports tidbits that are worth noting that I didn’t have time to mention.
- The f-ing Caps beat the Pens to win the Winter Classic. That was a great game to watch especially since the announcers kept on saying the rain would only last for 5 minutes but it rained throughout the whole third period.
- The Orioles land two decent free agents: 1B Derrek Lee and reliever Kevin Gregg.
- Roberto “Spitting” Alomar was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame (he’s expected to be wearing a Blue Jays hat). I still remember the rumors of him ending one season early so he could keep his batting average above .300.
- The Redskins beat the Jaguars for their 6th win of the season dropping them four spots in the 2011 NFL draft so now they have the 10th overall pick. Good thing they didn’t beat the Giants.
Yesterday, the WSJ had a couple of articles on Chinese parents. A ton of my friends have been posting about them. All I gotta say is that all my repressed memories are coming back … (article 1 and article 2)
