I’ve ignored the blog a bit since my return from my annual Florida Spring Training trip. You may have noticed a general lull out on the internet. Yeah, that was me. Sorry.
I’ve got 17 (or so) posts floating in my head, but right now I really only have time for some random randomness.
- The 3 Yankees pitchers who all need to have a great season for the Yanks to be playing in October (Hughes, Chamberlain, and Kennedy) only make $1.2 million combined this year. For a $200ish million payroll, it seems like those 3 guys are underpaid. (or maybe some of the other guys are overpaid? Nah…) Source
- I bought The Weepies‘ “Say I Am You” as suggested by Geof, but it’s not grabbing me like he indicated it might. It’s ok, but it hasn’t floored me like I thought it would (not yet, anyway). Geof’s music recommendations are typically very solid…maybe my taste in good music is still developing…
- I just downloaded a free book (“The Man Who Was Thursday” by G. K. Chesterton) thanks to a tip from Richard. Thanks, man.
- Andy Osenga’s CCM announcement from earlier this week still has me laughing. 25 Ron Points to you, Mr. Osenga.
- I’ve been following an interesting discussion over at the Rabbit Room that included a brilliant post by Ron Block. One of these days, I’m going to get a chance to sit down with Ron Block and just talk about stuff. That guy amazes me, but with a name like Ron, you’d almost expect it.
- Diet Mt. Dew has been officially renamed “Diet Mt. Ron” in our office. The Mountain Ron tastes about the same as Mountain Dew, except you can tell there’s a little more awesome in there.
I’ll post something less random as soon as I can. Thanks for reading.

Interesting to know that the Mt. Dew is a multigenerational addition in the Davis family.
No I cannot spell addiction……
I like Mt. Dew. I even won a free 20oz in my cap today.
Smart man … blame yourself, not me!
I’m surprised The Weepies didn’t knock you over, Ron. They had me from sound clip #1. I just knew. After over a year I still listen to “Say I Am You” as much as anything. Maybe they will grow on you, but like my other friend Ron says, “If you have to work that hard to like something, is it really worth it, especially with so much great music out there?” When it comes to The Weepies, it’s a definite, “YES!”
