Wow! For those of you who didn’t get a chance to see former Phillies catcher Darren Daulton on Comcast SportsNet (Philadelphia) last night, you missed one for the ages. Daulton who has been retired from baseball for over 10 years now, has been a bit on the wacky side for quite some time. Among the topics that the Daily News Live (DNL) panel discussed with “Dutch” during yesterday’s in-studio interview: varying meta-physical realms, talking with lizards, and of course (drum roll please) – THE ARRIVAL OF THE 4TH DIMENSION. According to the one time-leader of “macho-row”, we will all be transported to a new level of consciousness on December 21st, 2012 when our “astral plane” arrives.
Now here’s my thought as I was watching this “train-wreck” of an interview. Will anyone ever be able to watch highlights of Darren Daulton or the 1993 Phillies again without thinking about what type of lost-soul Dutch has become in the 14 years since that magical carpet ride of a baseball season?
And what about the producers @ DNL? Isn’t their willingness to bring Daulton on the air a bit misguided? Everyone likes to see revered athletes interviewed after their playing days are over. Most of us are curious if they still follow their old team, what they think of Ryan Howard, etc. However the DNL producers knew about Daulton’s “dettached” view of the world (as did most of us) before he went on. DNL is a show for the hardcore Philadelphia sports fan: we care about the scores, the teams, the players, the controversies … and NOW apparently (according to the DNL producers) the arrival of the 4th dimension.

Although no word is available yet on the release of Vista’s SP1, Microsoft has released some critical patches that will resolve a few of the annoyances that some of us have seen for the last 9.5 months.
See Paul Thurrott’s article:

These patches will eventually be pushed out through Windows Update for those of you who do not actively go out and grab them first. For me, the biggest issue addressed was that of copying/moving large files via Explorer.

Well, She was supposed to be sleeping!
I had just finished commenting to Jen that the “quiet” upstairs meant that Stephie had finally learned to fall-asleep during nap-time on her own. Unfortunately, when we want up to check on here this is what we saw. Stephie is obvioulsy expecting a lot of her friends over for a diaper changing party.
