A few random things have been percolating in my brain today, so I thought I would jot them down...

The Best Hockey No One is Watching:

Just in case anyone out there besides me still watches hockey, the two Conference Finals series have been wildly entertaining. Detroit and Anaheim have played bruising hockey for two games, both one goal affairs, with the teams tied at one apiece in the Series. Anaheim's superior goaltending and the steady defense of Chris Pronger will lead them to a 7 game series victory.

In the other series, Ottawa has shocked everyone and jumped to a 2-0 lead with both games being played in Ottawa. I have the sneaking su####ion that Buffalo is not done yet. Ryan Miller is a better goaltender than Ray Emery. And Chris Drury is such a clutch player that I think this series will go at least six. Having said that, Ottawa will not relinquish this series lead and gets by in 6 games.

Which toilet paper is worse?

Depending on how much time I have in the morning, I either use the office bathroom or the home bathroom when *ahem* doing my business...

I have recently found myself wondering which is worse, the cheap toilet paper bought by my office, or the really expensive stuff purchased by my wife...

You see, the cheap stuff doesn't feel so good when it's being used, and may cause some abrasions...

But that really expensive stuff is so expensive that it falls apart in my posterior...

I hate toilet paper.

We should go back to washing our bottoms in a river... or one of those crazy French #### sinks...

 Roger Clemens is Old

I, for one, can't believe that Roger Clemens is making a prorated $28 Million this year. The guy had a tremendous ERA last year, but he is certainly getting up there in years.

Does anyone think that Roger Clemens is the top pitcher in the Majors? Top Five? Top Ten?

Off the top of my head, I would rather have the following guys on my team: Roy Oswalt, Jake Peavy, Chris Carpenter, Josh Beckett, Curt Schilling, Chien-Ming Wang, Erik Bedard, Johan Santana, Brandon Webb, Dan Haren... I could even go on...

Well, I guess he is better than Jeff Karstens...

Mothers Day more than a Hallmark Holiday

My wife celebrated her first mother's day yesterday. And I have to admit that it was more emotional than I thought it would be.

It is crazy to believe that for the rest of our lives, a big part of who we are is that we are going to be parents.

Mother's day was a great day of reflection for me... I'm pretty excited for father's day!

Happy Mother's Day Mom and Wifee...

What's an avulsion?

Why can't the Sox just call Josh Beckett's injury what it is...

A freakin' blister...

The Judicial System is messed up sometimes...

A little note about my day today...

Today, I was in court because a 21 year old client of mine was charged with Possession of Stolen Property and Use of a Motor Vehicle Without Authority...

The facts of the case are as follows: My client, a college kid, attends a party at a different college . An acquaintance offers her a ride home and she accepts.

The cop pull the car over because of a broken headlight, and it turns out that the car was reported stolen and that the driver's license had been suspended.

My client knew none of these things... She was charged with two serious felonies for being A PASSENGER IN A CAR!

Obviously, the police made a mistake, so I asked the DA to dismiss the charges... He wouldn't do so without further evidence...

Now, I have to argue motions while charging my client $250/hr so she can get rid of a charge that has absolutely no merit...

And you wonder why the Duke Lacrosse kids didn't get a fair shake...

Why is Roy taking a six week Halladay?

I remember back in 1994 when Patrick Roy had appendicitis during the NHL playoffs in a series against the Bruins. He missed game #3 and came back for game #4 to lead the Habs to a 5-2 win... (full disclosure, I was at that game... one of the best moments of my sports fan experience)...

So why is Roy Halladay missing 4-6 weeks with the same injury? Wouldn't 15 days be sufficient for appendicitis?
