Flipping through channels while doing the elliptical this morning at the gym, I happened upon the opening-day baseball game.

And my favorite player, David Ortiz, was up to bat. What luck! 

It was a nice surprise, since I hadn't remembered that today was opening day for the Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics in Japan. Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Red Sox were losing 2-0 to Joe Blanton and the A's when I was off to do sit-ups and wrist curls.

... intense workout today, huh? Well, I have lost 10 pounds or so in the last month.
