A Smattering of News

Jayson is back for another round of this blog thing.

So, I got engaged just over a week ago. It is really sweet, but I'm more looking forward to the wedding than I am looking forward to the planning part. Check out White Collar Moxie for all the details.

Jayson's Sports Talk

Brandon may like to talk about baseball and football, but I bring a slightly different sport to the table. It was birthed by America's neighbors to the north, and it coincidentally is the greatest sport on the face of the planet, with the exception of Jai-Alai. The NHL season kicked off last Wednesday, and my boys the Maple Leafs are off to a rough start at just 1-1-1, but they did shut out the Senators the other day, so they really are 3-0 in my mind. I joined a couple fantasy hockey leagues on Yahoo!, and I'm not doing so hot, but I'm having fun, and that's what really counts, right?

The Departed

I went and saw Scorcese's latest opus, The Departed on Friday night. It was really good. Leave the kids at home, though. When they say 'pervasive strong language', they aren't kidding about the pervasive part. Nicholson, Damon, Di Caprio, Baldwin, and Marky Mark all turned in a superb jobs in the acting department. Also, it's really nice to see that Scorcese can still make the mob films like no one else. Yak, if you read this, go see this movie, you will enjoy it.

Jai-Alai

Maybe you read my earlier comment about Jai-Alai and asked yourself, "Jayson, what is this Jai-Alai you speak of?". Apart from the weirdness of asking yourself a question directed at me through a computer monitor, I will tell you what it is by posting a quote from this website:

The world's fastest sport, Jai-Alai, offers more excitement, more action, more thrills and more fun than any sport in the world. This fast paced games stands alone on the merits of it's agile athletes who hurl a rock-hard ball, back and forth, at speeds up to 150 miles per hour! But, when one adds the dimension of wagering, with the opportunity to win up to $10,000, jai-alai becomes the ultimate sport!

So, there you have it. It is fast and people bet on it, making it the ULTIMATE SPORT.
