Random tidbits:
- Seeing my beloved 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox play at Dodger Stadium yesterday was awesome.  Seeing my beloved 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox lose horribly to the Dodgers… not so awesome.  Though it was fun to be surrounded by fellow members of Red Sox Nation, and a bunch of people commented on how great my shirt was (the back said “I love New York — it’s the Yankees I hate"). 
- Every time I see a kid walking around with his pants pulled way down (as is the fashion these days I’m told), I feel the urge to yank hard on his pants and see if they’ll come down, possibly embarrassing and shaming him to the point where he might wear his pants at the appropriate place on his hips where they’re supposed to be worn.  Does anyone else feel this urge?
- Despite my own penchant for pranks and practical jokes, I hate April Fool’s Day.  It’s so predictable.  And in my line of work, everyone does the same tired old crap.  Now it’s just spreading to other countries and hemispheres.  Half the fun of pulling pranks is the unexpected nature of them and, occasionally, the subtlety of them.  For example, a co-worker once put a clock on the wall in her office at eye level, and I went in there at least once a week, changed the time and raised the clock a few inches on the wall.  When she left the company, the clock was 43 minutes ahead (having been 17 minutes behind the week before) and was only three inches from the ceiling. 
- During Barney’s quick montage of women tonight on How I Met Your Mother, did anyone else catch that one of the women who Barney had seduced and left was Madeline Albright?
