New Money; Old Rivals

Currently Reading: Hammerjack by Marc D. Giller

There was an article in the paper the other day, maybe it ran in your local version. It detailed the latest money makeover, this time the 10 dollar bill. Like the previous revisions, it's not going to be a DRASTIC change. They're sticking with the same basic concept but they're adding to it. You'll get new pictures, better backgrounds, probably a watermark and, the big change, more color. According to the article, the treasury is going to add yellow and red and orange to the usual green of currency. The article even had a very nice picture . . . in black and white, of course.

Tonight starts the world series. Notice, no capital letters there. It's not THE World Series, the championship of major league baseball. No, tonight starts the OTHER world series, perhaps the second most important series in baseball. Tonight the BoSox take on the Bronx Bombers and this time it counts.

Ok, it pretty much always counts but unlike in previous seasons, this last set of games is going to determine who wins the division. Currently, the Yankees are a game up. If they win two of the three games played tonight, tomorrow and Sunday, then they win it all. If Boston wins all three games, THEN win it all. If the BoSox take two games, it ends in a tie and I have no idea what happens at that point. I'll go check that out after I post this.

So, if you're not doing anything this weekend and you're at least a casual baseball fan, you definitely want to turn on ESPN and Fox this weekend because it's going to be one hell of a game :-)
