I just bought my self a ticket to see the Yankees play the Red Sox on April 16th in Yankee Stadium! I feel like a 10 year old kid with a crush on baseball.

Duplicated efforts toward a common goal

Posted by on Mar 11, 2008 in Personal | 0 comments

Does it ever bother you how many people there are out there working on the same problems in their own little ways?

Some of them said that they, like the hundreds of uncommitted superdelegates still at stake, may ultimately “go with the...
