“Hey, you should watch the game. Buerhle is pitching a gem.”
Stacey opted for a nap and I got to see one of my first full games of the year. WOW, what a time to tune in.
For those living on mars, Mr. “Washed up” Buerhle found his A game and pulled off a doozie of no hitter. He hit corners, then hit other corners , made people look silly and even got revenge on Sammy by picking him off first.
No hits

And our friend Nick tells me that it was the first game to feature:
- No hitter (Buehrle)
- A multi-HR game (Thome)
- A grand slam (Dye)
Now if they could only do that all the time…seriously, I hope it’s the spark we need.
GO SOX!

Everyone asks, “have you decided on names?”
Tough one – it really is. A lifetime of living with something that someone gave you, and you didn’t even ask for it. Talk about pressure.
We’re mulling over names, but we’ll wait until we meet the twins to gauge their personality and good looks before deciding. Our short list (five of each) is derived from the names below.
How to win: the person who correctly guesses the names from the lists will get a cool prize. If you get one correct and one close, that is a winner, too. We’ll be the final judges – and you have to wait until after they’re born to collect.
Feel free to tell us which ones you really like. But since all of these names are in the runnin’, please don’t tell us if one doesn’t suit your refined tastes! Thanks.

* Something cool is pretty ambiguous. I promise it’ll be good and likely tailored to your tastes.

Who do you work for? You know, if you work?
Do you have one client (or company), or do you have several?
I’m in the latter category and I enjoy the variety. Sometimes it’s crazy, remembering the advertising standards for each. Mostly it’s just fun to challenge yourself in different industries.
But sometimes I wish I worked for one cool company, like this girl who works here, or this guy at this non-for-profit.
I guess if I had to work for one, I’d want it to be a place like those.
Here’s a quick hit of my current clients:
