Damn My Schedule As a follow-up to yesterday's post concerning the Beanpot, some of my old friends from BU threw around the idea of heading up to Boston for the Beanpot.  I thought, "Well, that would be cool."  Then, I let the thought leave my head.  I figured I would maybe buy a BU jersey online and see if I can watch the game somewhere in Baltimore.  After I hit the gym yesterday, I have a voicemail from my friend, the Swarthy Greek, who is in Georgia for his doctoral work.  I come home, fire up the ol' mail client, and I see everything that has transpired since I left the office at 4 PM.  Essentially, there are a bunch of people headed up to Boston.  The Swarthy One is going as well.  I pondered it last night and discussed it this morning.  I decided on not going.  Part of the reason is the airfare is a bit pricey, as I cannot leave over the weekend.  The other reason is that I need to have a weekend where I do not leave home.  There is some stuff I really need to get done--like my shopping list that I posted a couple of weeks ago.  Two consecutive weekends of me running around have me pining for a "quiet" weekend at home in Baltimore.  I realize I suck, but I am staying home.  Just expect me to watch the game on Monday night somewhere in Federal Hill, even if it is me in a BU hockey jersey screaming at the television.  By the way, I am ordering my jersey today, but I do not know what color to get.  I am leaning towards the white home jersey, but the scarlet road jersey looks cool.  12:36:35 PM    comment []  trackback []
