It’s still pretty early – 6:20 – and I’ve made it over to JFK a bit early for my flight. Heading down to Orlando this morning for the wedding of my good friend Aaron (aka Tuffy, aka Mudwhistle
.) I lived with Aaron for a while when I was down in Florida last summer and we’d worked together several years ago in Indianapolis. Good people that Aaron Hill.
So here at JFK, JetBlue has their own little group of terminals and they’ve got it set up pretty nice. Free wi-fi for one thing and clever-looking little bohemian sushi-bar. The only thing I can think of more unappitizing than sushi this early in the morning is . . . well, ok, I can’t think of anything worse.
My boss gave me a copy of Moneyball the other day. So far it’s the story of Billy Bean, the A’s GM, and how he came to have a great ball team with the second smallest piggy-bank in the majors. Two of my favorite past-times, baseball and thriftiness. Seems like a bit of a psychological thriller as well. Beane was a first-rounder for the Mets back in the day and came up with Strawberry and Dykstra, but he never quite got his game on. If I were a psychoanalyst I would say that his unique approach to how he drafts kids was built as a response to his experience of being pressured to play ball and the pressure of being over-hyped by scouts.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the book.
On a separate, but very exciting note, Steve Beard is back from who knows where. dr dolittle 2 free download born to defend divx online
