They aren't mathematically eliminated.

Going into the last week of the season, the Texas Rangers aren't yet mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

I don't even know where to start. I will say that I'm saddened that watching the Angels game on local TV showed just how empty the Ballpark is. I know, I know. The Cowboys were on Monday Night Football. But, come on? They have a chance and it's the last week!

All I can say is thanks for the wonderful season. I never expected this, but perhaps I should have. Wow, and Yay! Let's hope they pull it out...

What would I do with $1,000?

Watched the Benefactor tonight. It's Mark Cuban's latest idea (vehicle?). Cuban gets tons of brownie points for resurrecting my poor Mavs from the era of Quinn Buckner. On that alone, I'll watch his show...

Anyway, in last night's episode, he gave the contestants $1,000 and said, "Be a star." So, I asked myself, "What would I do?" with the additional caveat that I'd need to go outside of my 'comfort zone.'

There are two things that completely scare the crap out of me. Well, actually one. It's selling myself. It's something I've never been quite comfortable doing. And, perhaps $1000 free-and-clear would give me enough confidence to go out and sell who I am in both my professional and personal life.

Or not. It's not like it'll happen. (See, that's what I mean.)
