Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging! But come on -- "The Red Sox will give you a heart attack"? Relax, man, you've got two championships since 2004. I'd kill for just one in Philly.

Anyway, you've got at least one loyal reader, so keep writing...

1. I will read this as often as you respond to my evites.
2. You never read MY blog:
