Our president seems to be having a good time in Beijing, and the athletes seem to be treating him as “one of the guys,” from beach volleyball to basketball where Lebron James greeted him with:

What’s up, Pops?

Rachel and I are back in the Northampton area, as Common Media is lining up an office in Amherst.

I predict that this kid will spend his sporting life frustrated and wishing for the “good old days.”

About a month ago, I went to Jon Lester’s no-hitter at Fenway with Rachel, Parker, and Parker’s brother. Perfect for a blog post, right? Except that I immediately called, texted, or emailed virtually everyone I know, and didn’t really get around to posting here about it. I had been trying to find someone to take the other two tickets for three weeks, so there were plenty of remorseful friends to torment…

So what does make me post? My current theory is that most of my blog material surfaces when I don’t have someone to talk to in real life. Take the last post: nobody I interact with on a daily basis is into robots or Sci-Fi movies, so I guess I just put it up there because I found it interesting and wanted to hear myself talk about it. Is that what blogging is all about?
