In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

As seen through the eyes of a man with only one contact lens.

Because of this freaky eye condition I have, I need to wear hard contact lenses to correct my vision. Unfortunately, hard contacts are not only expensive, but fragile. I've had them about a year, and frankly, I've been lucky they've lasted this long. If I had to, I would have bet that I'd have lost one down the drain or have one pop out on the subway a long time ago. Well today my luck ran out. The contact for my left eye slid off my finger while I was putting it in this morning, and in an attempt to find it, I stepped on it and crushed it. I'm forced now to walk around with one contact in. It's tons of fun...let me tell you. I hope my Doctor can get a replacement before I get so dizzy I start throwing up.

YANKEES HOME OPENER!!

I love this time of year. Nothing like opening day in the Bronx...too bad I'll be in an office in Manhattan instead of at the Stadium, or at least on my couch watching the game. For now, I'll have to try to stretch a late lunch so I can catch some of the game, and then rely on web updates until I get home and watch it on Tivo. Going to be weird seeing Johnny in pinstripes, but I think it will end up being a good thing. Lets hope this brief homestand goes better than the West Coast road trip.

Speaking of the Yankees, there's a really great way to show your Yankee love and support a great cause at the same time. Check it out here and support Yankee Universe and Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Cancer Center.

Proof that Boston really IS the home of all that is evil

Boston: The Evil-est Place on Earth
Home of the Red Sox and Boba Fett

This picture was taken while visiting my brother-in-law this past weekend. Boba Fett tried to shoot me right afterwards, in a case of mistaken identity. Apparently I look a lot like Han Solo. Who knew? I say tried to shoot me. I ended up kicking his ass.
