We're taking bets that you should go all the way or don't go at all...

Here are a few random thoughts over the last few days.

* If you are going to go to a Star Wars movie in some sort of costume you should either go all the way or not go at all. At the 12:01 AM showing I saw many people in capes, but nothing else. A cape is not a costume, but rather a bad clothing accessory. Don't claim that you are a made-up Jedi either because that just makes you sad. There were no Jedi's named Doug.

* Some people just do not understand Star Wars. The problem is they complain about it when they probably never were going to like the movies anyway. These are not movies on the caliber of "The Godfather", but rather some of the best Science Fiction movies ever. Sorry there might be some bad dialogue, but never once did anyone say that line in any of the original movies was Oscar material.

* If you did not watch the Preakness this Saturday you missed perhaps one of the most amazing performances by a horse ever. Afleet Alex was almost on his way to the glue factory when he was tripped, but he recovered and then won the race. It was quite a feat.

* It quietly happened, but the best off-season move that the Patriots made was re-signing All-Everything Troy Brown. If you look up Team Leader in the Dictionary you should see his picture. I think he will be one of the big reasons that the Patriots win the Super Bowl yet again.

It is a happy day in New England, that much is for sure.

Well... I'm thrilled, personally. Hooray to the Pats for the satisfaction of keeping Mr. Brown after keeping us on edge way too long. :-)
