The music volume alone is enough to make sure I never go the Scarlett's in Hallandale again. It's been years, but sometimes I almost think I STILL have a headache from the last time I was there...

My favorite guitarist - Alex Lifeson of Rush. His solos always fit in with the music and he is a master of tones and textures. His playing is always interesting.

@ClubFan - That was Denny Dias in Do It Again, but it actually wasn't a guitar, it was an electric sitar.

A: leaded gasoline, casettes
B: Terms of Endearment. Was always a sad movie, but after my mother passed away of cancer, it is now absolutely devastating. Shirley MacLaine is just unbelievable in that movie. She fucking nailed it.
C: Chex Mix.

Another week, another round of frustration. 3-5 in one league with the second most points scored. 4-4 in the other with the most points scored. Rick, I understand your saying cream rises to the top, but with how relatively short the fantasy football season is, it can be too late before the volatility evens itself out.

That part of Brockton is fine. It's almost over the line into Stoughton.

I'm second in points scored in both of my leagues and am 3-4 and 4-3 despite that. Fantasy football can be awfully frustrating sometimes...

Rick - I don't know what kind of league you're in, but Daniels was gone by Round 5 in both of my leagues. There was no taking him as a late round sleeper. He was known.

He was before my time but is regarded as a legend here in Boston. R.I.P.

Ski - My father was a Boston Firefighter during the Blizzard of 78. They put the entire department on a 3 days on, one day off schedule for two weeks. He has stories of them getting called to fires and having to watch the building burn down because they couldn't find any of the hydrants under ten foot snowdrifts. I grew up on the coast. My town got utterly crushed. I was a toddler, so I have no memory of it.
What I do remember is the so called "No Name Storm" in 1991. For those that don't know, this was same storm from the book and movie "The Perfect Storm.". My coastal town got crushed again. I remember being three blocks from the water in my father's fire boots raking seaweed out of storm drains in 3 to 4 feet of water.
I walked down to the beach the next day to see how bad the damage was. The street abutting the beach was gone. I remember getting home, my parents asking me what it looked like and saying Beach Avenue was gone. When asked "what do you mean it's gone?" I told them gone, as in it no longer exists and the beach was now on the front porches of the houses across the street.
For those of you that like lobsters, hundreds if not thousands of them washed up the beach and people were filling garbage bags with fresh lobsters and bringing them home. So there was that. Crazy, crazy experience. A pissed off Mother Nature is no joke.

The important thing is not to give up too early. Two years ago in one of my long-term leagues, I started 1-5 and then never lost another game on the way to the championship.

Well, I swung a fantasy football trade for Isiah Likely an hour before game time and then watched him go off for 9-111 and a TD, so I'm feeling pretty good about football season having started...

Pantera - "Mouth For War" I used to love listening to that before my hockey games. I'd be ready to put people through the boards, not just into them.

I don't recall ever seeing someone hit the ATM three or more times at a strip club, but I did see a guy hit the ATM nine times in the Poker Room at Foxwoods. It was good having that guy at my table...
