Captain's Log:

Well everyone, this is post #100! I am weblogging from work, on my iPhone. I am setting up one of the new computers, and it takes about two hours per machine. Well over an hour of that is waiting while the backup or restore programs run. Needless to say, I have plenty of time on my hands for the next hour.

As I'm sure many of you already know, the European Championship 2008 is already under way. Unfortunately, England did not qualify for this tournament. That travesty is due mainly to the fact that their manager (coach) at that time was a dismal leader. The day after England failed to qualify--which happened to be Thanksgiving Day--the manager was sacked. I had a very thank-full day.

Since I cannot throw my support behind England, I am supporting Germany. The Germans proved their dominance in a resounding win over Poland on Sunday. Lukas Podolski scored twice to vault the German crew to the number one slot in the group.

Today is the fourth day of the tournament, and Group D is set to play their two games today. I think Spain and Sweden will be the two victors today.

On a very different topic, I will be fixing my book column on this page very soon. I forgot about it after August of last year. I will replace last year's reads with this year's within the next few days.

I am a third of the way through my summer classes (I am only taking two). I plan on completing my degree next May.

I realize that my 100th post was not as exciting as it should have been; however, look forward to some exciting posts coming soon. Euro 2008, the election, and the olymics should provide me with plenty of material.

Until next time,

Lorimer
