Today is National Boss's Day

Being that at the moment I am sans travaille' (without a job)... National Boss's Day does not have the same meaningful impact as it would otherwise. A

A fun website for bad bosses is http://www.workingamerica.org/badboss/

However, many of you do have bosses that you want to celebrate (or eulogize) in some way. Here are some good bosses, in my opinion:

• Lou Grant, the Mary Tyler Moore Show
• Mr. Peterman, Elaine's boss on Seinfeld
• George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life
• Joe Torre
• Oprah
• Flower on Meerkat Manor

Of course, bad bosses outnumber by the dozens... my favorites:

• George W. Bush (at the head of the list)
• Tony Soprano
• Mr. Burns
• George Steinbrenner
• George Steinbrenner
• George Steinbrenner

Please feel free to post your favorite... either way.

Out Sick

Still under the weather, my dear Yankees readers. This is a really funky virus. The dog and cat are holding a vigil for me... as I am for Joe Torre.

Tomorrow Joe is at Tampa for meetings... let us pray.

What a week...

This has been one heck of a week that has gone by...

• the Yankees eliminated
• Torre's been hung out to dry
• Steinbrenner has been quiet
• Mo cleans out his locker and speaks out for Joe
• the GOP debate (a joke) was nothing more than a fist fight between Mitt and Rudy (and Mitt still evades Mormon issues while Rudy is getting slammered by the extreme right-Christians)
• it finally got cold this week
• I got a cold this week
• Torre gets asked to come to Tampa next week to meet with Management
• Big Papi sticks up for Joe (see post above)
• Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize (yay for him!)

Yup... it's been quite a week.
