Continuing...

That was a pretty solid episode of Family Guy...not spectacular, but solid. The Brian-Stewie subplot really sealed the deal for me.

Anyways, the whole rant in the previous post has led to the following conclusions. There is a requirement that we have constraints (i.e. laws) placed upon us by society in order for civilization to function. This, however, limits our collection of possible choices. Thus, it should be the goal of the individual to try and make the impossible possible. And I'm not very good at doing that. Anti-climactic, I know, but that's how most of my rants end up.

On a lighter note, the Tribe won today, 6-3, in a game that I missed most of. The 6th Inning was nice though, runners on second and third with no outs and they scored both of them...with sac flies no less. I can't remember the last time they had two guys in a row come through like that. Let's hope they are starting to get back to the way they played baseball from mid-May through the 4th of July. The pitching seems solid. There's a lot of talk going around that they should trade Sabathia. Bad idea in my eyes. It's not that I wouldn't trade him, for the right price, but you need to be damned sure you're getting the right price. Sure, he's not what you hoped for yet, but he's a solid starter, and certainly better than a lot of 25 year old pitchers. It seems big lefties take a while to get things entirely figured out...so you've gotta hold onto him and take your chances. And more importantly, how many 25 year olds are ever asked to come in and be at the top of their profession...let's let the man grow up a little bit. He's had to learn a lot about pitching at the highest level of the game.

Good day today all around. Lifting with Timm and Steve then apartment shopping with Dorr and Anup. Always an entertaining time.
