erin go blagh
A snowy owl was spotted in DC this week. It's rare for this area, but fairly common the further north you go.
Erin go blagh. I drank plenty of Guinness this weekend so I didn't feel bad skipping out on drinking last night. Besides, I celebrated St. Patty's Day by being yelled at by an Irishman at rugby practice, who is one of our new assistant coaches. His grasp of the English language is pretty good and I actually understood what he was saying most of the time. We have two on the team and one is more understandable than the other. I somehow made it on a gallery of hot Irish guys on Queerty, even though I'm mostly Scandinavian and only about 1/4 Irish. Thanks Queerty - I'm flattered but could you ask permission to use a photo next time? It's good etiquette.
Star Wars v. Battlestar Galactica: A rhetorical exemption of accepted norms. Hat tip to Chris (look, see, I'm giving credit here) for this lead. The final episode of Battlestar is going to be this Friday. I'm looking forward to it but I will also be very sad. I think I only missed viewing one episode live, but have been a devoted fan from the start. But I think it's going to be a corker of a finale.
Our first set of matches for the spring season is this weekend at the fabulous new $4M Cardozo High School stadium on Saturday from 11:30 to 4ish. Competing teams include the Nashville Grizzlies, Charlotte Royals, Carolina Kodiaks and the Philadelphia Gryphons. It should be a good time as long as I don't get rug burn from that fabulous new astroturf. The pitch is located at 13th Street NW and Florida Avenue in Washington, DC.
Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox is kinda woofy:
Of course I must continue to insist that Youk is still the Alpha Woof of that pack. We'll call Pedroia Beta Woof.

Your looking v.woofy in this piccy , or should that be woofier than usual , your friend also ! Was the pic taken on your recent visit to Ireland or was this when he came over to you ?
We have a tenuous link , considering our backgrounds !
My fathers Scottish but his Great Grandfather was born in Belfast , N.I. All relations previous to that being Irish . My Grandmothers side being all Scottish . What percentage that makes me to being Irish , I havent a clue .Just to complicate things , on my Mothers side my family is split equally 50/50 English and Norwegian !
Best wishes , Phil.
I like Jason Varitek and Mike Lowell more than Pedroia. Granted he's powerful, but he's on a team full of hunks.
