Really interesting look at how Photoshop is selling society on beauty on The Huffington Post. When even models are not beautiful enough, how can regular folks "compete?"

Red Sox Win World Series
This photo sums up their entire season.
It was a fun ride. See you next year.
BTW, Vegas already has the Dodgers as a 4-1 favorite to win it all in 2014. Sheesh!
Happy Halloween!

Baby Wombat
First, I challenge anyone not to like the word "wombat." See? Can't be done!
A couple in Australia saved an infant wombat after her mother died. They nursed her to health and Ruby is now a most-adorable part of the family. What is more -- and a sure bonus for us -- is that they are documenting the experience is a series of short clips on YouTube. Here is a sample of Ruby.

What a win! What a Catch!
Being a Red Sox fan, last night's game was pure win. The Cardinals, whether because of nerves or not, played poorly. The Sox were superior in every facet of the game.
One big shout out to the Cardinals is warranted, however. Carlos Beltran's catch at the wall to rob David Ortis of another grand slam was one for the ages!
Here is hoping for a similar outing from the Sox in Game Two.

Ohio State Univ Marching Band "Bad" Tribute
Found something really cool on The Huffington Post today. The Ohio State University marching band did a tribute to Michael Jackson's album Bad at a recent football game. Their performance is great, making me smile on many occasions while watching the clip. And the moon walking sequence had me speechless with delight.
My wife was a band geek in both high school and college; her standards are very high. I hope that this meets with her approval!
The moon walk starts at about the four minute mark, but it is worth watching the entire clip. And while I'm glad that they used Billie Jean, the song was not on Bad.
And yes, I am the geek of the family in every other way! LOL

Six Degrees of Kevin Garnett
My sister turned me on to a variation of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" hosted at Slate.com. This one is for sports figures. My sister indicated that it was "endlessly fascinating." I'll tell you that it can turn into a guilty time sink!
Only three moves between Ryan Langerhans and Bubby Brister. Who knew?

"Baby Bucco Bullpen"
Yes, it does seem to be one of those days when I focus on cute. The Pirates could have used some cute last night against the Cardinals. Pitching and hitting wouldn't have hurt either.

Sam Gordon
What badass looks like.
While I'm not sure that there has ever been an exciting moment in soccer history, if anyone can change that, Miss Gordon might. The book might have been a bit much though. :-/

Bears & Cubs, Bears & Cubs
I had three visitors outside of my work window this week, a mama bear and two cubs. I hurried down the hallway exclaiming "Bears & Cubs! Bears & Cubs!" I'm pretty sure my colleagues assumed I was having some sort of Chicago sports-related stroke.
Here is mama.
And here she is with one of the cubs. The other cub was just inside the trees, tracking his or her family as they ambled along. Of course, for all I know there were more cubs that I just couldn't see. I don't think so, but you never know.
No, the bears were not running down a cliff. No idea why the orientation came out that way. Oops.

Capitol Police Unpaid
The disturbance at the White House and the Capitol yesterday, which lead to a woman being shot to death, highlights one of the more disturbing things about the current government shutdown. Namely, it is that the police guarding the Capitol and members of Congress are doing so right now without pay. It is shameful. Feel the burn.

Happy Birthday Income Tax
This piece by Issac William Martin at TPM on the 100 year history of the income tax in America is worth the read.

Animal Practical Jokes
The Huffington Post was trying to make something out of nothing today about a confrontation between an elephant and a hippo. Not much to see there. However, the slide show at the bottom of the page titled Animals Tricking Each Other is hilarious.
Oh, and Tiny Puppy.
