Ups and Downs of the week.
New York City – Heading home tomorrow, but it’s been a great week. Fantastic restaurants here.
 Offshore drilling – No more permits until the oil companies can prove they can stop disasters like this.
Red Sox – They sweep the Rays, best team in the majors (in their own park, no less), and then falter against a paltry team like Kansas City at Fenway. I just don’t understand.
Summertime – It’s here in full bloom.
 Plantar Fasciitis – Severely curbed my walking in NYC. Ouch.
Celtics – Finally got past the Magic. Celtics-Lakers in the finals. A classic matchup.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Formula One – Monaco this weekend. Best race on the circuit. My dream is to see a Monaco GP in person. Unless I hit the lottery, it’ll never happen, though.
 Drill baby, drill! – Maybe not so much.
 Bruins – I never expected them to get this far, but it’s sad that they blew a 3-0 series lead and a 3-0 lead in Game 7. Gonna be a long off-season for those guys.
Red Sox – Looking steadier. Offense is coming around and the starting pitching is slowly finding the groove.
Celtics – Made the Cavs look like amateurs. On to the Magic.
 Highway Construction – It’s that time of year again. Seems they never finish it.
Weather – Aside from the occasional shower, the weather has been awesome. I love temps in the 60s and 70s.
Spies of the Balkans – Alan Furst’s new book is out. Can’t wait to read it. He is always excellent.
400th Post – Small milestone here on Randomography.
New Garage Door – No more worries about it falling in on the cars.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Formula One – Back in Europe. The best part of the season.
 Disasters -Tennessee floods, oil spill in the gulf, tornadoes all around. Nasty spring so far.
 Red Sox- They swept the Halos, but they lost a game tonight to the Yankmees. Beckett has some serious head problems. Is there a shrink in the house?
Bruins – Dealing with it. They lost a hard fought game tonight, but I’m sure they’ll prevail and move on.
Celtics – They looked awesome for a couple of games, but LeBron and the Cavs aren’t going to roll over and die.
 Stock Market -A typo can throw the whole system into a tailspin?
School’s Out – No more classes. Just have to write a thesis and I’m done.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Summertime – It’s upon us. Warm nights, margaritas on tap, Red Sox games, top down driving. I love it.
 Red Sox- They swept Toronto, but they lost a game tonight that the O’s tried desperately to hand to them.
Dark Chocolate – Nothing better. And thank you to whoever thought to include them in a galley to Sarah.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Red Sox – After a rough start they may actual be starting to turn things around. Maybe.
 McAfee – What a screw-up this week.
 School – Last Saturday class tomorrow. Just a final project to complete after that.
San Diego – Very cool city. Still have some pics to post.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Little Surprises – More about this and a video later.
 Red Sox – You can best describe their play as sloppy. Not so, the Yankmees. Sox better straighten themselves out before they find themselves way, way behind.
 Dell Latitude Z laptop – Overall I like it. But this damn intermittent touchpad/keyboard problem is so annoying. I use a Bluetooth mouse to get around the touchpad issue, but the keyboard is useless for any extended typing.
