Lost Weekend

This past weekend was truly a lost weekend for me. Not in a "party your ass off like you're in 'Animal House'" kind of way... more like a "I've got a cold and it's really knocking me for a loop" kind of way. So I hibernated. I literally did not leave my apartment from Friday evening when I got home from work, until this morning when I left for work. Luckily, I had plenty of groceries. I didn't even have to do laundry, as I already had clean clothes for today.

One thing I did do was watch the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees in baseball's American League Divisional Series, 3 games to 1. After the Tigers lost the first game, all the pundits were anointing the Yanks World Series champions. (By the way, how does one get a job as a pundit? You obviously don't have to have a lot of knowledge on your given subject.) But underdog is a role that suits this Tigers team; they proved that heart and hunger CAN beat a 200 million dollar payroll. Now they're on to play the Oakland A's for the American League pennant... and if they can beat them, next stop will be the World Series.

It's a good year to be a Tigers fan.
