Well, first things first, thank goodness it’s Friday! It’s been a long tough week here in the office. I’ve got a presentation this morning which through yesterday at 730pm when I left work, I had put in 53 hours working on this week. The most satisfying moment was Thursday morning when my boss arrived at the office and saw the fruits of my labor (which had kept me in the office until 1115pm on Wednesday night) and said that everything was looking great. So now, the boards are up and I’m ready to go…

And because I’ve been so busy this week, my picture-taking and web-surfing have been spare. However, I did happen to see these three very, very fast cars parked on M Street in Georgetown late on Wednesday night on my way home. I’m used to seeing the occassional fast car in the neighborhood, but three in the same night? On the same block? Within a span of 5 cars? Definitely a rare occurrence…

In other news, I thought I would share a few tidbits that have caught my attention lately. This is quite possibly one of the greatest commercials ever made. It’s got great music and the three lines of narration to open the spot are spectacularly classic. It’s reminiscent of the aura of someone perpetually intriguing like James Bond or Thomas Crown (I know, random, but it’s what I think when I see the commercial). Good word, Dos Equis.

There’s been a lot of talk this year in baseball about mysterious appearances for some players on the disabled list, most of which have large contracts and no options left. I’ve never been able to figure out why this matters for a team, when they take a player and put him on the DL for what may be considered by insiders and competitors as a sham diagnosis, so I decided to do some research. I happened upon the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the players association and the league (or, owners). I find it fascinating, but beware, it’s one hell of a long document.

And finally, it’s Friday! And that means I’m outta here early because I busted my ass this week! See you all next week…
