Tom Faranda's Folly

My thoughts on life, death, love, and money. Not necessarily in that order. This journal was started on September 8, 2005.

Who is Tom Faranda and why is he keeping a web-based journal? To answer the second question, I've just started chemotherapy for lymphoma which will go on for months. Likely to have some downtime when I can work on a journal. It may also be easier to keep in touch with people, rather than by email. Who is TF? Well I am a FORMER - altar boy - math and science teacher - expatriate (Jamaica, Cayman Islands) - rugby player (20 years) - rugby coach (12 years) - scuba diver (could resume!) - Jesuit-educated (Fairfield BS, Fordham MS) - civil disobedience maven (could resume that one, too) - beer drinker - I am a CURRENT - husband (Brigid) - father (Joe and Tim) - financial advisor (CLU, ChFC) - pro-life, consistent ethic of life activist - Roman Catholic - always interested in the confluence of science, religion, and philosophy - addicted to reading - wine drinker –

Yankees - this year's team of Destiny?

As I left the gym tonite, I caught a minute of the Yanks v. Orioles. Yanks ahead 5-3, man on first, no outs. Jeter hits easy double play ball back to pitcher - who drops it taking it out of his glove, picks it up , drops it again - everybody safe. Instead of two outs there are men on first and second, no outs.

Yanks go on to score four runs. Yanks have won something like 8 out of their last nine- most of them 50-50 games. Suddenly it's the pennant stretch run, and they have their mojo back.

Baseball is a funny game, and having your mojo is really important. So I think the Yanks are good money to win the World Series. You heard it here first.

As I post this, the Yanks are leading 10-6 in the top of the seventh at the Stadium.

Destiny better be on their side when they meet Boston for the final 3 games of the season in Boston! I was at the game Monday night for Bubba Crosby's walk off home run. There was something in the air alright. Since you were my confirmation sponsor, I believe you are correct. Go destiny, go Yanks!

Yeah, Bubba Crosby hits a walk off homer. That's divine intervention all right. A Rod after the game said "no fofense to Bubba, but I was hopoing he'd get hit by a pitch, or a bunt single or something. Then he hit s like Daryl Strawberry."

Wouldn't it be great if the Yanks are up by 4 games when the go fo Boston for the last three games of the season!!

You can always hope.
