Hope everything goes well, Raffy.

And I'm sure we can all pitch in to buy you a nice shelf for all of your Harry Potter collectibles.

LOL.

Thanks guys, appreciate it. It's a starter home, so we'll see where I'm at in 5 years and go from there. And yeah, I did get a good deal, between the purchase price and the interest rate, very good time to buy.

Good deal. You can start a no-pants treasure hunt/kickball team in your new neighborhood. Whoops! Wrong thread.

Nicasio got drilled by a line drive, lost consciousness and broke his neck when he hit the ground.

Marc Anthony has millions of dollars but does not have a PR person evidently, he's getting killed in J-Lo's divorce PR roll-out.

I loved watching Dennis Rodman play.

And I really loved Rodman's acceptance speech as he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

"I didn't play the game for the money. I didn't play the game to be famous..."

Wes_Tiny_Abe would be happy to know that Panera is coming to the DCUSA Mall in Columbia Heights. If I weren't moving to SW, I would definitely be in there on a Sunday morning reading my paper and surfing the web on my MacBook Pro, while sipping on a latte and eating a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich on Focaccia bread.

Thanks Pine! Spending the week down Ocean City, MD, with the family. A much needed break.

I don't think I would want to own any professional sports team that isn't in the NFL.

I'd rather be Marc Cuban than Dan Snyder

Tried to score the TouchPad for $99 & $149 and failed, they vanished with the price-drop.

saw the documentary "Catching Hell" on On Demand over the weekend. It was about the concept of scapegoats in sporting culture, primarily focusing on the Steve Bartman story (and a bit on Bill Buckner, too). Its a great movie, but sad. Sports fans are dicks sometimes.

Wow that was kinda scary! My office was shaking! Jumped up and stood in the door and then bolted outside when it was over.
