Around we go

Dear reader,

Diana went home from school two Fridays ago with strep and pneumonia. She missed the whole week of school. Then Mommy throws up on Friday with a slight fever and sleeps the whole day away. Saturday evening, the younger two AND Daddy start with slight fevers and sore throats, waking up on Sunday very sick.

"Uh-OH!!" I think to myself.
We are going around and around on this cycle of sickness. Where is the escape hatch? Please someone save me! Throw me a rope!
A mom stuck in sickville.
P.S: Pass me the Lysol spray, a tissue and some Tylenol. I am going to need it!

Look what's new in my kitchen today!
Im so happy!
p.s This is the third appliance replaced this year. It better be the last!

Friday, October 23, 2009

I know I say it all the time but I truly love this guy.
He took the day off of work because his grandmother passed away.
On that day, I get SICK, throw up twice with a fever and sleep the day away.
During that time he cleaned up the dishes, did laundry, swept the floors, played with the kids,
Nursed me back to health and to ran to the store for me....
All I can say is, where did I find this guy....
because I am one lucky gal!

Hold on

When I was a young mom, I had a sister at church tell me "It will go faster than you think." You hear this again and again until one day you realize "HELLO....where did time fly?"
I had one of those moments yesterday when I went to Diana and Taylors parent teacher conferences. As I sat down with each teacher, they proceeded to tell me what smart and kind children I had. Diana quick to help others. Taylor a little engineer, always building and thinking up constructive ideas in the classroom. I was a proud mother. These children that I had worked so hard to love and teach were growing up. Time does fly and I want this next year work even harder at making each moment count with my kids. These young years are precious ones and I am so grateful I have had this time with them.
It has not always been easy to stay home, as I thought many times about the job or classes I could have been doing. Then reality would hit and I would realize that this is where god had wanted me, to be with my children, to experience these young years at home. I was not able to get that with my mother when I was younger so in someways I am learning how to stay at home. Do not get me wrong, I had a fantastic mother but times were tough and she had to work to put food on our table. So to me and my kids I wanted to experience what it was like to stay at home and be the"soccer mom." This will be the hardest job I will ever hold. Emotionally it is draining. Physically it is draining but the rewards are priceless. Yes we have less money because we do not have two incomes but I would not go back and change it. I will go back to work when they are older and be content with what was decided many years ago. It has made me a better person, mother and wife. It has taught me lessons I needed to learn from god.
I am eternally grateful I found my path. It is not for everyone.
I hope that each of you find your own path that god has for you.
It is out there so reach out and hold on.

4 generations

When Diana was born there were 5 generations alive but we were only ever able to get 4 in a picture. I am so grateful for these great women in my life and what they have taught me. We each were the eldest in our family. I was born in Utah. My grandmother was born in Idaho and my mother born in California and last but not least, Diana was born in Oregon. 4 different states, 4 different lives, all connected through the great bond of families. May we each take the time to listen, talk, cry and laugh more with our families. Life is too short.
It is with life that we will find our greatest treasure is not in what we have but with who we share it with.
In the picture: Me, Diana on my lap, my grandmother and my mother

chickens, goats and corn

Yesterday our youngest one had the privelage of taking her first educational field trip to the pumpkin patch with her pre-school class and she LOVED it.

Friends, playing in the corn, pumpkins, a friendly farm dog, goats and feeding chickens.
What's not to love?

Soooooo pretty!

Ok....I am in LOVE with this bike.
Only it costs $1300 dollars.

What was that???

When we were newlyweds and living in married student housing, I was excited to cook for my husband. I wanted to wow him with my homemaking and kitchen skills, whipping up culinary creations that would please his pallet. Did that happen you ask? Was he impressed with his wife's cooking skills? Did I create culinary masterpieces like Martha, Rachael, or Paula? Heavens no!
I was young, 19 and did not know my way around a kitchen at ALL!

One night I wanted to impress my husband by turning our leftovers into a delicious concoction as his mother often did. I took the pot of left over spaghetti and dumped all of its contents into a 9x13 baking dish. I then proceeded to make a batch of Bisquick dough and dumped large blobs of it on top, making what I thought was spaghetti pie. I pre-heated the oven to a perfect 375, and proudly sprinkled Parmesan cheese all over the top. I put it in the oven to cook to perfection.

30 minutes later I smell smoke.

Clue one that that this was going to be a DISASTER of a dish.

Clue number two: I take it out of the oven to behold burnt mounts of Bisquick dough all over dried out spaghetti. I quickly dump melted butter all over the top to soften the Bisquick dough.

Seriously, could it get any worse at this point.

My husband comes in from the pouring rain, returning from class. I have the table all set and ready to go, scooping out some "spaghetti pie" onto his and mine plate. He lifts his fork and puts a bite into his mouth. "interesting" he says. "what is it?" "Spaghetti Pie" I reply proudly until I taste a bite only to reveal the utterly and horrible goopy mess.

Clue number three: The Bisquick had liquefied into the noodles. The noodles were rock hard and the top was burnt! I wanted to cry. Could I ever learn how to cook???

It has been years since that incident of "spaghetti pie" and to this day my husband and I still laugh about it. It was GROSS. The worst thing I have ever tasted. Liquefied Bisquick over hard spaghetti noodles, certainly is not a culinary masterpiece. The reason I write this down is because this morning I made sausage with maple syrup, homemade biscuits with whipped butter and freezer jam, and cheesy hash browns. My husband, patted my arm and said "whew, I thought I was going to starve there for awhile. You have become a wonderful cook Rachel. You have come a long way since we first got married!"

I laughed and will have to agree!

I have come A LONG WAY!
P.S Don't put Bisquick dough over day old spaghetti noodles.
Its gross.

Corn boxes, corn mazes, corn shooting (a personal fav.), hay bales to climb, duck races, tractor rides oh and lets not forget the star of the show, the pumpkins.

There was NOone there since it was the evening and we had the farm to ourselves, even our own tractor ride.

Whip It

One word sums up this post: AWESOME!

If you have not seen the movie "Whip It"......

It will have you laughing and make you want to dig out those old "barbie" skates.

A cat, a moustache and a flower

Sometimes you just have to let go; whip out the face paints and be SILLY

And somehow.....they facepainted mom. By the way what a cool mom I am
because afterwards we went out to ice cream facepaint and all
and I ran into 8 people I know. Nice!

FYI: for some reason you can not see my facepaint on here but I had a pumpkin on my cheek and a flower

Sunday, October 11, 2009

Did I mention??

Two things:
I absolutely adore my clo-bear and secondly, I have finally figured out how to do my bangs. I love them.

Saturday, October 10, 2009

~ I love this girl and just wanted you all to know it! She's amazing and ALL mine. ~

Go for the Goal

Guess who is in soccer this year......?

He's fast, feisty, and goes for the goal.....

He has an awesome dad..... well we all knew that.....

Yeah you guessed it
He is rockin' the field this year with his new found skills. He has gone out onto the field guarding, kicking, passing, and my favorite....scoring quite a few goals. I love my little boy and can not believe he is all grown up and in soccer wearing cleats, and shin guards.
Keep up the good work bud!

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself

~ George Bernard Shaw

A few years ago, before I became pregnant with our third, we went on a family beach trip. Anyone who knows me, knows I despise pictures being taken of me. Without me noticing my husband grabbed the camera and caught this photograph. I loved it immediately. It caught me in that moment. That moment when you are looking inside the looking glass, reflecting upon life and its great mysteries. May we all just stop and reflect each day even if it is but a moment. It is in those moments that we find ourselves.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

The leaves changing colors. The crisp fall air. Pumpkins, gourds, corn adorning the doorsteps of peoples homes. The smell of cinnamon and cloves drifting from the oven. Yes its fall and to me that means red, crisp apples! Between soccer games one saturday, the grandparents came along with us to go apple picking. We met up with some friends as well at our favorite apple orchard and grabbed our buckets and started picking away. We picked over 70 pds! Gala's were my favorite table apple but the melrose apples we picked will go to my canned applesauce.

Taylor and Chloe

"R" picking apples with her cute "apple" shirt

My mother and father in law

I let my kids roam the farms in the summer and fall picking berries, beans, corn, apples, nectarines, peaches. I think it is good for a child to learn where their food comes from. It helps them make healthier eating decisions and teaches them when they are young how important good food is. The fresher the better!

Please observe your facts since transmittal those exciting but unhealthy or prejudicious (or vindicatory unsophisticated cloddish) email messages to reckless voting public or pliant readers who could imagine everything you transport their way. You cognise the messages I mean: The one that asserts that immigrants are better off in America than retirees because they get a larger affairs of state check; the one that claims that Starbucks wouldn't transport acquit beverage to U.S. soldiery in Iraq because the institution opposes the war and someone related near it; the assertions that U.S. legislators relish massive pensions but don't have to involve yourself to Social Security; the pressing order to standard a message to be conveyed to the White House to cheer up the corporate executive not to widen universal services to unlawful immigrants...and on and on and on.

You've prescriptive them; we all have. Have you passed them on? You don't have to response that, but we know soul is endorsement these things on all sides finished cyberspace. Do you come up with they supervise them out premiere to see whether they're true? I would bet my eldest that 99% of the inflammatory, denigrating, cockamamie and horrible emails forwarded from computers in this pastoral on any given day are passed on lacking the record stripped take a crack at to assure their truthfulness. People are bamboozled, and next they go up and betray all and sundry in their code books-or at least those they sense allocation their political views or harbor fears or prejudices the same to theirs. Now why is that? Why would other intelligent, obligated citizens convey written mental retardation screaming in a circle the sphere and obstructive natural philosophy mailboxes in need so some as a keystroke or gnawing animal chink in the interests of truthfulness?

I muse I cognize why: We frequently like to be bamboozled. It's such an easy way to tend the fires of frustration, anger and even loathing that combust inside us. I in use to go by on warnings roughly precarious products or women lured from their homes into the hands of a rapist by the dependable of a howling child shrewdly canned and compete into the period air. I passed on that tender (but distorted) icon of the fetus clutching the surgeon's digit during in utero medical science. The last mentioned was so precious, the earlier so powerful. Was my human face red when I bookish that I'd been bamboozled!

I can grant (and take) the foolish messages active good relations and liking that end with the row "pass this on to ten women you perfectionism going on for." They're not harmful, and I know, in my heart, the ten women I tending active would be glad to know I hit "delete" alternatively of saddling them next to yet different gooey, zany communication. I don't same that ethnic group distribute those to me, but they're roughly harmless, so I let them elapse. After all, there's genuinely no bamboozling active on-just dramatic silliness.

The forwarded emails that dwell on me are the ones expected to fan the combustion of preconception or polarize voters or pit one people opposed to another. Some of them party as jokes or cute undersize stories, but they have critical edges and dangerous points dug in below the hilarity. Many appear to uprise (seem to-who knows wherever any of them really originate?) from fixed-income retired veterans who deserve our appreciation and now have an axe they ought to be allowed to mash in general public. Some go from neighbors, friends or familial members who gait upon a malicious fraction occupied near applied mathematics that be to reassert one of their own pet peeves or constituted prejudices. These are the ones that torture yourself me. Whenever I have such a forwarded announcement from an separate whose judgement I generally trust, I ask myself: Why did he let himself to be bamboozled? Why did she overrun this on to all these associates short corroboratory its truthfulness?

My reply is that individuals lock onto such as unhealthy messages and blindly grasp them because the e-mail so brilliantly supports their own location on an thing. Don't similar illegal immigrants in our country? Well then, you're truly active to similar to the e-mail stating that 70% of women big kickoff at Parkland Hospital in Dallas are bootleg immigrants. That's a successful I-told-you-so narration. And, conjecture what! It's actual. But this one isn't: "Here is a true interrogation with an wicked migrator at a objection demo in Texas." That fiction is a broad fabrication, not at all an interrogation supposedly airy on local tv. But if you liked the early story, you're active to worship the 2nd one, and both some other "illegal immigrant" relation that comes fallen the freeway. People simply approaching to publication material possession and comprehend to belongings that assistance their create by mental act notions and warrant their ambassadorial positions.

During the 2004 presidential campaign, human I cognise to be nimble forwarded a grotty communication in the region of the Heinz Foundation. It was plainly designed to break John Kerry as a chief of state entrant by casting clue on the philanthropic base related to near his spouse. It didn't transport me extended at all to notice the saga was in earnest flawed and purposely misleading, in umteen cases axenic literary work. Let me reaffirm that: It didn't takings me long! I have a inquiring web scene bookmarked on my witness. I can regularly confirm or shout an absurd forwarded email in smaller amount than a insignificant. So why don't separate citizens check the facts? Simply because they like to be bamboozled. This singular message was forwarded by a Bush benefactor who had the daring to write: "I haven't understood the case to examine this out-don't cognize if it's true, but it seemed price passing on. You can order of payment it out for yourself." Aha. Yeah. She sent it to going on for two twelve recipients. How plentiful do you construe "checked it out"? Yeah, matched. If they endorsed Kerry, they mouthed an defamation and deleted it. If they based Bush, they passed it on to another two twelve unadvised American people entitled to vote ardent to be bamboozled.

Here are one classics you've likely received, possibly even more than than once. I spectacle whether you passed them along. Every one is definitely false:

  • Barack Obama is a severe Muslim hypocrite who will not recite the Pledge of Allegiance and was pledged into bureau on a Koran.
  • A 13-year-old young woman called Ashley Flores of Philadelphia has been deficient for two weeks. Pass this ikon in circles by email and she'll surely be found.
  • This poem, "Slow Dance," was written by a terminally ill 7-year-old woman in a New York hospice. It is her dying wishing that you passing it on so each one will have your home their lives to the fullest.
  • Bill and Hillary Clinton are charging rent to the Secret Service agents allotted to pamper them.
  • New one-dollar coins were designed to take out the motto "In God we holding."
  • Entering your PIN in reverse in any ATM will send for the law enforcement agency.
  • You should objection Citgo gas and products because Venezuela's leader, Hugo Chavez, is a socialistic autocrat crooked on concealing the U.S.
  • You should buy Citgo pour scorn on gas and products because Venezuela is a democracy, and the oil net go to go to and edify that country's poverty-stricken.
  • Applebees will move you a $50 offering credential if you distribute this email to 9 friends because the edifice series requests to go famous in bucolic areas.
  • Aspartame has been tested responsible for epidemics of cancer, intellect tumors and double sclerosis.
  • As Texas governor, George W. Bush refused to provide his marital to blacks.
  • Plastic hose down bottles have been proved to snap downstairs into cancer compounds when reused or frozen.

Well, I could go on and on. The factor is that, for all one of those dishonorable email messages, there was a cloud of curious readers geared up to slurp it complete and, some worse, passing it on lacking confirming its truthfulness or care. If you disapproval Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or George W. Bush, one of those counterfeit statements above will prayer to you. You publication it, you say, "yeah, I initiative that was the case," and you be aware of reasonable or clear or in whatsoever different way gratified, and so you leave behind it on to a grownup of others. It's so easy-just a few rodent clicks and, Boom! It's gone! Another inadequately mauled communication or astutely crafted poison projectile is on its tour about the cyber planetary. I have to astonishment whether we have now change state so extremely misinformed by this class of so-and-so human activity that we are, as a net result, less able present to trade name murmur decisions than were our forebears previously the "information age."

Still, it feels so satisfactory to be fit or exculpated or based on by what happen to be believable statistics! We worship to be bamboozled. And it's so casual to snow others! Just a few keystrokes and gnawer clicks...

But wait! In vindicatory a few keystrokes or rodent clicks one can besides be enlightened! We could actually foil the flakiness as glibly as it is perpetuated. Simply unambiguous your watcher and category in this URL: . When you get to this fulgurous web site, bookmark it correct away. Here is your effortless access to objective, valid logic hardbound by solid, acknowledged information. You can facade up the up-to-the-minute email wary or accusation and on the double get the verdict: True, False, Cannot be Determined, or Mixture. Then you can publication the actualised email e-mail current. (And it can be powerful torturesome if you've retributive forwarded that segment of scrap to 40 friends and nearby it is, language unit for word, flecked "false."). You can read the past of the communication and its development into today's publication. You can cram its actual origin and after read an elucidation of how it has been adulterated or why it has caught on similar to inferno. gives you the fairness astern (or in ill feeling to) the email message, and afterwards it lists its credible, dependable sources of reports. And later you know the fact.

So, all you bamboozlers, I've given you the process to put an end to the hateful, inflammatory messages man forwarded to our merely overworked email boxes: . If you accept not to use this tool, that's your company. Just don't full-face your wild-eyed missives to my mailbox; that's my business.

Love Note Bag

When we were at Regionals in September another Demonstrator Jayne Mercer showed us some very cool things to make using different size envelopes. I couldn't wait to go home and have a go. One of the projects she showed us was to make a little handbag using 2 love note envelopes, some patterned paper, ribbon and velcro (or 'rip and stick' as I like to call it). How cute does this look. Below is a picture of the inside:

You can see here there are 2 love note envelopes attached together by the envelope flap to a piece of cardstock. The double sided patterned paper is stuck to the other side from top to bottom. You can cut the paper once it has been stuck to the envelopes or you can do what I did here and fold the remaining paper in half and stick it together and use it as a flap. I used the corner rounder punch to round the corners of the flap.

Inside the bag you can make a card and something else to stick inside the envelopes. I made this bag for a friend so I made this very simple friendship card.
I was going to make a magnet to put in the other envelope but instead I made something that my friend could display somewhere in her home so I made this using one of the stamps from God's Blessings layered up with a stand on the back.
Here is the back view. You can see I added a very small piece of ribbon so that the cardstock won't fall flat and remain upright.

2/12/2012: Time Flies!....

Posted on

I can’t believe it’s December!  Where has this year gone?  My Christmas tree is back up – it doesn’t seem like long ago I was moaning about taking it down.

I received my latest copy of ‘Cast On’ magazine and a couple of designs caught my eye.  First one being the little baby cardigan and bonnet – it’s so cute.  Pity I don’t know any babies to knit for.

The second design I thought was lovely was this Aran jumper.

I have been collecting the swatches that I’ve been working on for my course and don’t know what to do with them.  I can’t make up my mind whether to throw them out or keep a hold of them in case I want them in the future.

Here’s some pictures of my Christmas tree.  I finished putting it up this morning while drinking half a bottle of non-alcoholic mulled wine to get me in the festive spirit.  (Not that I needed much help!)

I got given this cute little nativity set a few years ago as a gift when I moved in to my house and I just love it.

I’d better not forget to hang up Cuilean’s stocking either!

It’s supposed to snow tonight with the temperature’s dropping to -7.  I found pictures of Cuilean from last year running about in the snow.  He had a great time.

I was having a bit of a tidy up of the laptop and found a photo of Cuilean when he was 8 weeks old.  Isn’t he so adorable?!

I was out and about the other day with my camera and took a couple of pictures from Inverness Castle looking up and down the river Ness.

I went out to Dores (near Inverness) a few years ago on a beautiful freezing cold morning like today and took these photo’s.

I was in Helsinki this time in 2005 and loved the place.  Here’s a couple of pictures of two of the church’s I walked past every day and never tired of looking at them.

When I was there I bought this postcard as I loved the knitted hats the little characters wore.

Especially this one…..

I’m wondering how easy it would be to replicate it…..

I’m thinking for next year of learning 12 new crafts in 12 months.  The very first craft I would like love to learn is crochet, followed by tatting and calligraphy.  As for the rest I’ll need to sit and have a little think about it.

If I don’t post again before Christmas, have a lovely time! x

Mary Ann Rehm

Born in Seattle, Washington on September 16, 1946
Passed away on Mon. January 23, 2017 and resided in Mount Vernon, Washington

Services will be held at Bethany Covenant Church on Sat. February 4, 2017 at 01:00 pm

Mary Ann Finney Rehm Mary Ann Rehm, age 70, suddenly and unexpectedly, passed away Monday morning, January 23rd, from a possible embolism in her upper heart. We all were stunned with shock. Husband Russ Rehm and daughter Becky Dutton, immediately spread the word to hundreds of disbelieving friends and family, including son Jeremiah Rehm, son-in-law Jeff Dutton, grandchildren Spencer and Hannah Dutton, and Tyus Rehm. A memorial service for Mary Ann will be held at the Bethany Covenant Church on 18th Street in Mount Vernon, on Saturday, February 4th, at 1:00 p.m. If possible, the family would love to have you join them in this Resurrection Celebration.

Born in Seattle on September 16, 1946, Mary Ann was and is a life-long follower of Jesus. Her life-long passion has always been to be with Jesus in heaven, and while we are awash in tears, we celebrate that she now dances with Jesus. Mary Ann was and continues to be many things. A graduate of the University of Washington School of Nursing, she had worked for years delivering babies and saving lives. She was also a professional counselor, a Head Start Nurse, an amazing mother, an awesome wife, and for many years an avid quilter. She was also a world-class grandmother!

Along with her husband Russ, she rode a motorcycle across the United States and through Europe, sailed the waters of Puget Sound for many years, and organized uncounted family gatherings. As a preacher’s kid, she loved the Bible, the Word of God, the Church, the Family of God, and prayer. She was a world-class listener. Simply by her Godly listening presence, she changed the lives of many people. She loved healthy communication and righteous relationships. Because she was a friend of Jesus, she was the kind of person most all of us would like to have as our friend.

She blessed us all. We are sad to no longer have her with us; but are thrilled to know she is where she has always wanted to be! God reaches into the worst, and pulls out the best. With Mary Ann, God has done it twice: Once in this life, and now once again in the life to come! Good-bye, Love – we’ll see you soon!

And Even More Fakery

Here is an analysis of the Red Cross Ambulance Incident (found via Oraculations). From this article it is quite clear to me that the alleged attack was a complete fake. At this point I trust nothing reported from the MSM regarding Lebanon.

The only thing I find curious is why the Israelis are not running a more active counter-propaganda campaign. I realize that they probably have trouble getting the MSM to cover anything from their side and are a little busy at the moment, but it doesn't take much cooperation or effort to release information debunking most of the propaganda from Hezbollah. Maybe they are trying to take the high road, but at some point you need to slap the fleas down before they drive you crazy.

Money is Money, Dumb is Dumb

The stupidity in this story is breathtakingly; "Woman admits stealing $2.3M to play lottery". If this is not definitive proof that state-sponsored looteries are a tax on those who are bad with math then nothing is. One wonders how much they cost states in other areas such as increased crime and lost economic growth. Personally I wouldn't mind at all if they were all banned again.

Hezbollah, Pallyworld and the MSM; Fakery All

Evidence continues to mount of the propaganda war being waged by Hezbollah and the Palestinians against Israel. The Mainstream Media (MSM) continues to play along, if not actually aid and abet this deception.

As background evidence, check out this "“Pallyworld"” video: Quite a documentary.

The second exhibit is the Qana "“bombing"”. The EU referendum is a good place to begin the basic analysis; start at the bottom and work up. Here is addition information on "Mr. Green Helmut" via the Dread Pundent Bluto.

The latest evidence is the doctored photo of Beruit from Reuters, and their admission of complacency, if not guilt. Check out Little Green Footballs for the detailed analysis. Furthermore, take a look at "“original"” photo according to Reuters.

It clearly is still "“photoshopped"”. Observe the patterns in the smoke (circled) of smudged buildings that appear to be larger than and overlay the real buildings in the scene. In the 8:11pm update Saturday LGM notes a possible source for the real original. Add to that smoke copied from some other source with the buildings from that source still there and you get this.

For more evidence, here are other doctored photographs at The Jawa Report and the unluckest woman in Lebanon at Drinking from Home.

The bottom line is you cannot trust what you see from the media. If it sounds too good, or too bad, it probably is.

In Service of Pseudoscience

It’s time for Jose Melendez’s KEYS TO THE GAME.

1. Every so often one has the opportunity to do something to benefit the cause of science and, by direct extension, poke the Pope in the eye.

Galileo had his lenses, Newton had his apple, Einstein had his tram and now Jose has his stupid little Web survey. Okay, Jose admits that it is not, strictly speaking, his Web survey. It belongs to a friend, mentor, and fellow Red Sox fan, who has made the terrible, terrible mistake of pursuing a PhD in communications. Apparently the PhD program in fractions at the University of Washington was too difficult to get into.

Still, even pseudoscience is a kind of science, just ask the President, and thus Jose supports it uncritically.

So here is the deal. If you click on this link, you will get to answer a few basic questions about baseball. Once you have done that you will be directed to a sort of futures market for 2008 statistics. You get 10,000 hypothetical dollars (note: 9345 hypothetical Canadian dollars, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 hypothetical Zimbabwe dollars ) that you can spend betting on 2008 statistics like the number of home runs Big Papi will hit or the numbers of herpetic lesions Derek Jeter will experience. What’s better still is that merely by participating, you will be entered to win two tickets to a Boston Red Sox game in 2008 and possibly the Nobel Prize in Communications.

But that is really aside from the point. What matters here is that this is your opportunity to benefit science without having medical students cut into your body and mock your genitalia after you are dead. Did you ever think that just by making pretend wagers online you could help cure cancer, land a man on Mars or, if you are very lucky, inadvertently destroy the universe?

That day has arrived, and Jose, for one, is glad that you are alive to see it.

2. The big news as the Red Sox return to the Eastern Time Zone is the hawk attack at Fenway Park. During a tour yesterday, a red-tailed hawk nesting at Fenway attacked a 13-year-old girl named, of all things, Alexa Rodriguez, drawing blood, but thankfully causing no serious injury.

Now the temptation is to make the easy jokes based on the victim’s name, but that’s pretty tacky.

Sure, you could run headlines like “Fenway Gives Rodriguez the Bird”, “For a Change A-Rod Gets Dropped,” “Color War: Red-Tail vs. Yellow-Belly,” or even “Ornithologists: Slapping not effective against hawks,” but that would be really, really silly.

We all know that the similar name notwithstanding, this poor, brave kid has absolutely nothing to do with the Yankees third baseman. You can tell because if the hawk had attacked the actual Alex Rodriguez there would be five million Yankees fans criticizing the hawk for not removing its beak before hitting the slugger in the head.

3. Jose wrote last week that Bartolo Colon skipped the trip to Japan because the hefty righty did not want to spend any time in a country run by an elected body called “The Diet.”

This left Jose confused today as to why Colon has not joined the team in Toronto. Canada is run by a “parliament” a name that not even Jose can stretch into a fat joke, so why would Colon be avoiding the trip? But then Jose figured it out. It’s not that Colon is avoiding Toronto, it’s that he desperately wants to spend time in Pawtucket.

The Pawtucket Wikipedia page points out that the film version of the David Mamet play American Buffalo was filmed in Pawtucket. Jose will bet just about anything (note: nothing) that Colon saw that and assumed it was a movie about hot wings. Hence his interest in Pawtucket. In addition Jose is almost positive that the Board of Aldermen for the city of Pawtucket is technically referred to as “The Smorgas Board.”

Apples and Oranges

It’s time for Jose Melendez’s KEYS TO THE GAME.

1. Jose got a weird and absurd email yesterday from an old friend comparing KEYS to the writings of David Foster Wallace, Chuck Klosterman, Bill Simmons and the lesser works of Herman Melville. (Note: KEYS stacks up nicely against Benito Cereno.)

The comparison is not only ridiculous because these men of letters probably never screw up “its” and “it’s” but also because each of them has an in-depth knowledge of his subject that goes far beyond anything Jose can offer. Klosterman really knows a lot about heavy metal. Simmons is, strangely enough, the best NBA writer around. Hermann Melville knows so much about whales that he can apply phrenology to them. And Jose? Jose doesn’t know that much about anything. These guys are specialists. Sure, they can do shtick, they make their living connecting their subjects to seeming unrelated topics, but at the end of the day, each has real, specialized knowledge on one or more subjects. Jose does not.

If these fellows are Josh Becketts, men who live on their fastball, yet can occasionally mix it up with a decent curve or change up, Jose is Daisuke Matsuzaka. Daisuke doesn’t have any pitch that is dominant, but he has about seven that are above average. Jose brings a similar approach to writing. Sure, Jose writes primarily about the Red Sox, but he’s not an expert. He can’t tell you about the prospects in Portland or compare the merits of two seam and four-seam fastballs. All he can do is contrast the two-seam fastball with the Paris Peace Accords with WrestleMania 2, with Suicide by Emile Durkheim. Could Jose give you great depth on any of those subjects? Not really. He can tell give you the overview of the Paris Accords and tell you that Suicide is about suicide, but he can’t write a book or even a good essay about either subject.

Where Jose does his work is in comparing apples to oranges. He makes comparisons that are against the laws of God and man, and somehow finds coherence in them.

What Daisuke did last night is not that different. Over his 6 2/3 of 1 run, 0 walk pitching, he succeeded on account of the very incoherence of his pitching approach. He was not a fastball pitcher, he was not a breaking ball pitcher. Rather, he was a guy who threw apples and oranges, pineapples and breadfruit, and he threw them all for strikes.

For Daisuke, as for Jose, it is not his brilliance in any one facet of his endeavor that makes him effective. It is his mastery of contrast; it is the genius of demanding that round pegs fit into square holes.

What the Red Sox need this season is for Daisuke to embrace the madness, to slide face first down the toboggan run of absurdity, to, in the words of Weird Al Yankovic, “Dare to be stupid. It’s so easy to do.”

2. In other news, new Yankees manager Joe Girardi ordered an ice cream freezer removed from the team’s clubhouse as part of a ban on junk food.

In related news, former Yankees pitcher and ice cream aficionado Corey Lidle told reporters “I’m glad I’m dead. Way better than playing for Girardi.”

Why won't the Yankees honor my memory?

3. The Boston Globe, “The Amazing Shrinking Newspaper,” reported today that with a payroll of $133,440,037 the Boston Red Sox have fallen to fourth in the majors in this year. This puts them behind the Yankees at $209,081,579, the Tigers at $138,685,197 and the Mets at $138,293,378.

This news comes as a shock to fans and pundits nationwide who have grown comfortable with the notion that the Red Sox have become “just like the Yankees.” To be honest, Jose feels bad for the folks who have become deeply invested in this narrative, so he thought he would give them a few talking points for how the Red Sox and the Yankees are exactly the same, while he waits to see that first column on how the Tigers are now nothing more than the Yankees.

Here goes:

  • They are both baseball teams.

Okay, got it?

The comparison was always flawed (note: read asinine). How could you argue the Red Sox were just like the Yankees, when the Bronx Bombers haven’t won a single World Series in the 21st century and the Red Sox aren’t owned by a convicted felon. See it’s just silly.

Still, if you feel absolutely compelled to argue that they are the same, Jose supposes you could point out that neither team has a single Swedish national on its 25 man roster.

I’m Jose Melendez and those are my KEYS TO THE GAME.

No Excuses

It’s time for Jose Melendez’s KEYS TO THE GAME.

1. Whatever happens in tonight’s U.S. opener, can the Red Sox promise Jose something? Don’t blame anything on jet lag.

Blaming failures on jet lag is a handy excuse, but a poor one. “I have cancer”—that’s an excuse. “I was struck by lighting”—that’s an excuse. But “I didn’t do well because I have jet lag, because I’m a little sleepy”—that’s no excuse at all.

If Jose couldn’t perform when he is sleepy, every single KEYS would look like this

It’s time for Jose Melendez’s KEYS TO THE

1. F*ck Jose is
3. Seriously, f*ck you

I’m Jose Melendez and those are my KEYS TO THE GAME.

And yet people persist in using jet lag as an excuse. Jose had a boss once who blamed jet lag for absentmindedness after flying to Boston from Miami. She might has well have said, “I just drove up from Weymouth, so I’m really jet lagged.” Just about the only time when jet lag is a legitimate excuse is when one is returning from Newfoundland, with that weird half hour time zone. And then it’s not because one is tired, but because the idea of changing by only half an hour is a total mindf*ck. (Note: In fairness, confusion over crossing the International Date Line is also a good excuse. You move an hour forward, then another hour forward, then suddenly you’re 24 hours in the past? Can you imagine Manny trying to figure that one out?)

The fact of the matter is that in this day and age, where jet lag can be easily remedied through a combination of alcohol and the abuse of prescription drugs, no one should complain about it ever.

The Red Sox also shouldn’t complain about parasites. First of all, how the hell did Kevin Brown and Jason Giambi get parasites in Japan? Are you seriously telling Jose that Brown never picked up a parasite in his hometown of Milledgeville, Georgia (note: Lastings Milledge, founder) but he got something in a country where taxi drivers where white gloves and have doilies on the seat backs?

The only time Jose will allow anyone on the Red Sox team to blame a loss on a parasite is if Javier Lopez gives up a home run to a lefty.

2. It’s April Fools today, and while Jose isn’t much for pranks, you know those wacky Red Sox are. Here are just a few of the hysterical jokes that are happening today:

  • Noted prankster Dustin Pedroia replaces manager Terry Eurona’s Metamucil with the ashes of former manager/racist Pinky Higgins.
  • Theo Epstein calls Josh Bard and tells him the Red Sox have reacquired him to catch Tim Wakefield. The joke ends poorly, as Bard throws himself from a bridge.
  • Kevin Cash is announced as opening day backup catcher.
  • Having accepted assignment to AAA, outfielder Bobby Kielty shows up to work at offices of AAA of New England.
  • Bobby Kielty announces intention to convert to Judaism, explaining “It kept Kapler on the big club.”
  • Theo Epstein calls Doug Mirabelli to tell him the Red Sox would like him back, when Mirabelli arrives, Theo turns out the lights and hides under his desk.
  • Red Sox announce signing of Sidd Finch, not the mythical pitcher who could throw 168 mph, but an actual truck driver from Eau Claire Wisconsin.
  • DJ Dru announces that he is ready to play tonight. No one is fooled.
  • Dr. Charles Steinberg announces that Dodgers and Red Sox will play an exhibition game in a field that is only 200 feet down the left field line. Wait. That one’s real? Really?

3. One of the most heavily hyped matchups at WrestleMania XXIV was a battle between a 440 lb. behemoth called the Big Show and the 150 lb. welterweight boxing champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather. It was a mismatch of epic proportions.

In a lot of ways, Jose sees this contest as a good analogy for tonight’s game between the Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics. The Red Sox are the giant, the monster, crushing everything in their path, and the Athletics are the munchkin, game and tough, but at a catastrophic disadvantage.

“Now wait, just a minute,” some of you may be saying. “Mayweather won that matchup. Does that mean you think the A’s are going to win tonight?”

Well, to be blunt. Yes.

The A’s are going to win tonight provided that the analogy holds. This means that they will win if a) Joe Blanton is allowed to punch David Ortiz in the face with brass knuckles and b) the entire contest is scripted for the A’s to win.

If brass knucks are allowed and the game is fixed, Jose has a hard time seeing the Sox pulling this one out.

I’m Jose Melendez and those are my KEYS TO THE GAME.

15/05/2017Diane FAlthough the sites were beautiful, the whole tour is very rushed. Too many people to manage and tour guide didn't keep group together. No voice boxes on this trip. Left people behind so make sure you keep eyes on guide. 1
Worst day ever of my life. Today we had a trip to Volendam and Edgar the tour guide recommended us a fish restaurant. We went in and the waitress assigned us a table where there was a umbrella. I asked the waitress whether the table was occupied and she said NO. So I and my wife sat as requested. Then a drunk guy came after 2 minutes and started saying how can we sit and as he was sitting. My wife said politely that the waitress has told us to sit hear. This guy started to shout so we got up but said not our fault. Yet this guy started saying how can we say like this and started to raise his voice and because of this I raised my voice as well.
The comes Edgar and catches my and the guys coat and says stop raising our voices and this is his country and if we want to raise our voices we should get out of his country and this restaurant.
After this I never said anything and quietly settled down on another table.
I cannot understand how Edgar can speak just words when he never knew the background. He insulted me in front of the full restaurant without knowing facts. Later he comes to my table and says whether everything is alright. I said again this is not my fault and told him what happened.
After we got down at Amsterdam my wife asked him where do we stand for the next trip and he behaved as him he never heard her. Then she asked the driver and he helped us with the next trip.
I cannot believe I and my wife were treated so badly by Edgar the great.
10/10/2016Cynthia A EngelMy friend and I took this tour on our second day in Amsterdam. The tour was supposed to be about 2 1/2 hours. Our tour guide Andy guided us through the the streets and alley's of Amsterdam. He talked about the sites and history like it was fresh though clearly seasoned. We touched on the canals, the gables, red light district, cheese and finally herring! He had insightful anecdotes, humor and the infamous Dutch practicality. The tour ended in 31/2 hours! Great fun! Thank you! 9
15/08/2016UJJWAL A MEHTAGood experience with knowledgeable guide Stephano who has a lovely sense of humour. The tour could be more comfortable if the bus has a WC. Toilets are a rarity in the places visited. 0
15/08/2016UJJWAL A MEHTAWe did not enjoy the tour at all. Antwerp halt is only at Diamond factory which is a marketing gimmick to sell diamonds and jewellery. No time provided to explore the city. Brussels too is just being shown sights through the bus windows and most of which you miss because they are on other side of bus. The commentary in three languages is not synnchronised with the actual monument. The last part is a small walk to market square and hardly any sightseeing time except the surrounds of the market. Absolute waste of 11 hours, quite frankly. 0
Fantastic Tour towards Countryside.
Thorough enjoyment with Energetic team formed by Tour Guide Edgaar, Evin and our Bus commander/driver. From the time we started, the energy show cased by the team was remarkable. Attention towards all people on board was effective. They were very humorous, informative and had been real entertainers through out the time. KUDDOS. KUDDOS.
06/09/2015Karen WilliamsFantastic tour, even if it rained nearly the whole time. Steve's knowledge was extensive and he made sure he included everyone. Worth the money and would recommend to anyone. 10
26/08/2015Yemi OlowokereThis tour was a real insult to me as an individual that loves to travel. Basically it was just the transportation to the cities. The tour guide was horrible!!!!! Walking tour was a JOKE! Didn't example a damn thing as we was walking, only to stop at the diamond store for us to purchase diamonds. 9000 euro Diamonds at the least, on vacation? Didn't explan the surrounding areas/buildings. Unbelievable! In Brussels, visited 2 places, 2 places! No recommendations for a thing. We could have done the tour on our own. Out of all my travels to different countries: Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Africa, London, New York, Andorra, Dominican Republic, Turks and Cacos, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, St.Thomas, St. Lucas and many more this was the WORST tour company/group I have ever experienced. I felt sorry for the driver. When the guide at the end of the trip thanked everyone for using them and mentioned given them money tip so they can buy beer, everyone laughed. LUXURY air conditioned bus.... dropped us, didn't explan where we were, what street, the nearest tram\train\bus so that we all can get back to our hotels. No form of travel directions. I would really like a refund of my money. I wasted my time and energy for nothing. most of the tourist were upset and they addressed their concerns to the tour guide and he just could not say a word, he looked dumbfounded. I plan to move forward with this complaint. 10
Quisiera hacer especial mención a la profesionalidad y simpatía con la que nos ha atendido Jackelyn B hoy en la oficina de Damrak 26. Personas asi te hacen muy cómoda tu estancia por lo que: Bravo Jackelyn eres la ganadora del premio a la simpatía!!!!. Ah! Por cierto....sus jefes deberían fomentar ese espíritu y quien mejor que Jackelyn para mostrarles como debe hacerse.
12/08/2015Margaret from AustraliaThanks for a great walking tour, Steve, from Lindbergh Tour and Travel. Very informative while still being light and interesting and humorous. It was good to discover little corners that I'd walked close by recently, without realising those little gems were there. The cheese and herring tastes were quite timely, as was the shot of geneva. Well worth the walk. Thankyou, Steve. 0
