Monday morning levity

"TRUST IN THE LORD." At first I thought it was someone writing in, trying to save my soul. But, no, it's the headline of yet another e-mail scam,* in the vein of the (in)famous "Nigeria Letter." I just get a chuckle out of somebody running a con having the brass to begin their snake-oil pitch with the word "TRUST."

* — the link leads to an abridged version of the letter. The one sent to HP has an additional four paragraphs, including much taking of God's name in vain.

Angels 5, Bosox 4. In 12 innings. It's getting so I can't bear to watch. (And who thought that hitless wonder Erick Aybar would provide the clutch RBI?) Like the emotionally grueling '99 NLCS between some plucky, overachieving Mets and the then-ubiquitous Braves, I keep hoping the Angels will climb out of the hole they've dug themselves, but every pitch is agony, especially when there's no room for error.

Actually, that's not true: The Halos have muffed so many plays and swung at so many pitches off the plate, it really is a miracle that they're still in it. A good thing I have two bottles of Mylanta in the fridge.
