Opening day

Last year at a Red Sox/Yankees game with clients

I seem to have the pallor of the walking dead in that photo above.  Maybe because it was a May game and I hadn't really gotten my tan on at that point.  Blah. Right now I am paler than death.  April 1st.  I haven't seen the sun in any meaningful capacity in 7 months so it's no wonder I'm as pale as you mere mortals.  Of course it's snowing today, so tanning ain't in the near future either.

I'm getting off track here.  The post is about The Red Sox! Today is Opening Day, but not here in Boston, which is just as well, considering THE SNOW and all.  They're playing in Texas and game time temp should be a balmy 80 degrees.

This is the year baby!  Lester's on the mound and we have a formidable lineup to support him.  I hope Ortiz will be the Ortiz of years past.  He worries me.

In any event - I have a bit of personaal news that is related to the The Red Sox.  With the start of the season I will be writing for an online thingy called Red Sox 101.  These will be more structured articles, unlike the stream on conscienciousness written here and I have committed to 4 articles per week.

To that end, I will no longer be posting on The Very Josie blog.  At least until October when the season ends.  I think it's a good time to make the break as Survive Donkey Island is winding down this week.

I'll post my first article here to give you a peek, as well as the url to Red Sox 101.

I hope you've enjoyed what I've done here as much as I've enjoyed each of you. Take care my friends, and be warned, I'll still be reading.

Play smart.

Josie

When I read this, I forgot what today was and I thought" "Sure, she won't post for at least ONE DAY."

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
