Worcester Blogger Coffee 10/17 (Excitement plus some)

Remember when you were about to celebrate you're 10th birthday and you were so excited to tell people that you were 10-years-old? (Yes, it was a BIG deal for me. It was all about celebrating a double-digit birthday and you couldn't tell me otherwise.)

Well, I'm excited and looking forward to Sunday's Worcester Blogger Coffee, which is taking place at Cafe Nu, on Chandler Street, beginning at 3:30 p.m.

You see, I started the Worcester Is MAJOR! blog with the premise of writing about the City of Worcester and all the things that I saw that were good, bad and in between.

I'm looking forward to putting faces to names or the blogs to the people that write some unbelievable posts, from their perspective and how it may impact people here.

So, if you have a blog or don't have one, please join a good crew of folks at Cafe Nu on Sunday.  I can guarantee that the conversations will be lively and you might hear some information from folks who are passionate about Worcester.

Tommy Heinsohn: "The NBA.....It's Stupid!"

KG gets a technical foul and then picks up a second one and is ejected from the Celtics' game, last night, versus the New York Knickerbockers. Then, the icing on the cake, Tommy Heinsohn comments about the call and the NBA. Have a listen.

60 Minutes: Eminem Revealed

Having watched the Anderson Cooper 60 Minutes interview, I found the behind-the-scene footage to be funny and revealing.

Signs the economy is bad

We all know the economy is more jacked up than a 2-year-old hyped-up on chocolate, but this is an all-time low.

Typically, this time of year, I receive the usual solicitations from the Worcester County Food Bank, the American Cancer Society, and the March of Dimes.

I do believe in giving and making monetary contributions to those charities and funds that I believe have a direct impact on people.

Today, I received the 2010 Annual Fund request from the March of Dimes, and if I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't have believed it. Someone took the time to take a sharp knife or razor to the envelope to cut a perfect hole and removed the dime. Yes, you read that correctly; someone cut a hole in the envelope and "stole" the dime!

All I can say is,"Wow!"

Sports: Can't knock their hustle

So the New York Yankees made short work of the Minnesota Twins in the Major League Baseball ALDS.
Yes, I'm a NY Yankees fans and won't take it personally if you never visit this blog again.(It's ALL Good!)
