I am just a tad bit late with this...but Happy New Year! I did in fact observe the start of the New Year by sleeping right through it. New Years' Eve is, well, for amateurs. I no longer want to be out on the streets when a bunch of amateurs start drinking and driving two ton machines let alone texting their every drunken thought to their friends.
Nope I was in bed at 10:30 like a good boy and slept through what I am told was quite a fireworks display by the renters next door. (I did not hear any of it, but my proof is I had to pick up spent bottle rockets from the front yard on January 2nd).
Anyway, if you really care Happy New Years to you! May it be a healthy, happy and prosperous one for you and your family.

A Double Standard
The St. Louis Cardinals have a double standard. This week they let utility player Scott Spezio go after he was indicted by a grand jury in California.
It seems Spezio has issues with alcohol and got himself in trouble with Orange County deputies. According to reports Spezio allegedly punched a neighbor after he ran his car into a fence in December after drinking. The Birds immediately released him and will pay him two plus million dollars this year. And then buyout his contract next year.
But the double standard lies in the way the Cardinals treat different individuals. Redbird manager Tony LaRussa was convicted of driving while under the influence last year and the Cardinals rewarded him by renewing his contract for two years.
It seems to me LaRussa should be canned too. If the Cardinals are serious about alcohol and substance abuse then LaRussa needs to be fired for his drunk driving.
