And once again, on the verge of passing a milestone/breaking a record, Barry Bonds does it the night before I have tickets to the game. So far he's done it with his 500th home run, his 71st home run of the 2001 season, his 600th home run, and now his 500th stolen base. What's up with that?

I would be a little bit more upset, but is there anything better than coming home and seeing your package from Amazon sitting there, right at your front door? Especially when one of the things you ordered is the new three-disc live Zeppelin CD?

I think not.

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
