I came to realize this evening that my body has been hardwired to respect the Curse of the Bambino. Just watching the game this evening, I had the overwhelming feeling that the Sox were just GOING to lose and the Yankees were just GOING to win. I even started to feel sick to my stomach.
And then: a miracle. The Sox bats woke up (three HR for the best slugging percentage team ever). Wakefield's knuckler was floating and dancing, and making Yankee hitters (and the Sox catcher!) look foolish. Fate seemed to be smiling on my Red Sox this evening, and they beat the Yankees 5-2 in game 1 at Yankee Stadium. GO SOX!

Posted by: Ron on October 9, 2003 3:06 PMWell, there were a couple of things going on. First, yes, I wanted to show my support to the Red Sox. But more importantly, I got tired of having a blog that looked like everyone else's blog, with that slightly moody, dark, cooler-than-thou look. You should know what I mean, Ron!
P.S., Ron, when are you going to register ronveenstar.com? You misspell your last name enough, and it's actually a fun domain...
Posted by: pcg on October 9, 2003 3:12 PMI am quite familiar with the "cooler-than-thou" look, that is true. It's rough being this attractive.
if you were tired of your blog looking like everyone elses, why use the same basic page layout as most of the other movable type blogs? I say do everything in big glitzy flash animations.
