It a sportings kind of day

I spent most of my day watching curling, luge, speed skating and parallel giant slalom (which is basically a snowboarding side-by-side race down a hill). Next up is the Superb Owl where I believe the Patriots will take home another Lombardi trophy.

In other sportings news, the Red Sox have yet to fill their infield needs and spring training starts this week.

Do I think the team will suck? No, I do not.

Do I have faith that Breslow will build/has built a competitive team? Yes I do.

Do I think they are the best team they can be? No, I do not but since I am not an expert in evaluating players and team needs, I'll refer back to my second statement about having faith in Breslow.

Dear Very Stable Genius,
    You are a jerk.
Sincerly,
Me

I'm going to correct one of his quotes in that story just so you all understand why he is a jerk:

"...when you make it too easy and too cheap to buy houses, you make old people richer and you make it impossible for the next generations to obtain what we used to call The American Dream."

Watching my youngest and his wife struggle to find a way to buy their first home is painful for me. It's not like they are living some kind of extravagant lifestyle and are pissing away all their money. They are diligently saving every dime they can.

They are hard working, educated people that are getting beat up by a system designed to make people who are comfortable and well-off richer than they need to be.

And that includes me.
