It is a dreary day, today. As a matter of fact, it rained the entire weekend. Base10 tried to get out and take some pictures on Saturday but ended up caught in the rain.

(Fortunately, Base10 was close to a tavern and the Rangers were playing their first playoff game in ten years. But this, my readers, I assure you, was merely coincidence).

New York sports fans were disapointed this weekend. The Rangers lost like pigs and Jagr was hurt and is in questionmable with an undisclosed "upper body" injury. The meet the Devils tonight (I think). The Nets also lost to the Pistons.

At least the Mets went .500 by splitting with the Padres. In spite of late inning heroics on offense, the Mets couldn't save Victor Zambrano from himself last night and lost 7-4. That being said, going .500 on a west coast road trip is not shabby at all. It's just that expectations are higher after the Met's fast start.

Base10 has a busy week coming up. He has to work on some final things for his job this week, but unless something wild happens, Base10 is being processed for retirement on Thursday. (Hmm. Sound vaguely like the Edward G. Robinson role in Soylent Green). Friday, it's of to Lake George for a long weekend. (This place is so remote, Base10 might not even be ABLE to blog from there). While I will have to report back to work for a couple of days next week to clean out my stuff, it looks like this is the end. Stick a fork in me. I'm done.
