We would like to wish a very happy birthday to Can of Corn.

Digging a little deeper here. Totally dig it, though.

Ben Mondor was the owner of the Pawtucket Red Sox from 1977-2010. He is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and the International League Hall of Fame and won numerous minor league Executive of the Year awards from various organizations.
My new(ish) position requires business professional attire; specifically, suit & tie or sport coat & tie while the Legislature's in session. I own three suits that fit (two that don't - I've put on weight since I got out of the Navy) and had no sport coats until last fall. I was pretty excited about a "Buy One, Get TWO Free" ad I saw until I looked at what the "Buy One" would cost ... $650 for a nice wool suit from that purveyor!
I settled for a couple of new pairs of Haggar slacks on-sale for $28. They're polyester, but not hideous, and should get me through the end of session so that I can save up for higher-quality options.
Savages are back with a new album. It's a good thing.
