support needed!

Wally's co-benefactor (the one with the broken collarbone) is riding 192 miles from Sturbridge to P'town in the Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) this weekend to raise money for cancer research. All contributions are welcome: http://www.pmc.org/egifts/DN0013 (or if you're old fashioned you can send him a check made payable to the PMC via snail mail).

Red Sox quiz

Good quiz in today's Globe - take it online! See link above. Wally scored well, as you can imagine.

The Yankees and NYPD have settled a civil rights lawsuit involving a fan who was kicked out of a Yankees game for going to the bathroom during "God Bless America":

Should GBA replace The Star Spangled Banner as the national anthem?

online

Wally is now at his new house in the Berkshires and is online. Yipee!

random musings

Wally now has friends at Panera in Arlington Heights. And thinks Facebook is a huge time suck. (Good for those recovering from broken collarbone.)

Duh

The Boston Globe reported today that it has been rainy and not that sunny this month.

Good column by Bob Ryan today on Dice-K:

Panera stock is up 10%. Wally should have bought that instead of Orbitz.

A good use for Twitter????

Wally (the official one) is now on Twitter:

I guess they have cell coverage behind the Green Monster.

For those of you who saw the hilarious ESPN commercial a few years ago that starred Wally as a teleprompter operator, you will wonder how Wally types into a cell phone with those big paws. Perhaps he has a Green Monster-specific phone.

Nude Cycling

Wally thought he'd pass along this article that his aunt and cousin forwarded to him, although he too has a broken collarbone and is off the bike and thus does not have to decide whether to bike in the buff:
