QOTD, plus a question

"A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well."
-Louisa May Alcott

What is sprezzatura?

SWEEP!!!

The Red Sox hadn't been swept in a five-game series since the Cleveland Indians did it in 1954. The Yankees swept Boston in five games in New York in 1951 and at Fenway in '43.


Oh, and at Fenway in '06.

"Everything went about as wrong as it could," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "It's not been a very good five days."

It was the about the time of the last Boston Massacre that I became a Yankees fan. Somewhere near Cincinatti, Bucky Dent is happy.

Family shout

I've never posted pics of my family before, so here are my mother and brother. I guess I'll have to dig up pics of the rest of my family...one of these days.

Enjoy your family, its rare that you get to choose them.

¿De qué se trata?

Are you a ninja, pirate, viking, or samurai?

To find out, take the test...its only 5 questions.
I turned out to be a samurai--4 answers supporting that, 1 answer toward ninja.
Whatever that means.
