Once in a Blue Moon

I am sure you have heard the saying "Once in a Blue Moon". Every now and then something rare and magical happens and that saying is truly appropriate. Today was one of those days. It was Free Taco Day at Taco Bell. For those unaware of this wonderful phenomenon, let me explain. Taco Bell ran a promotion during the World Series (won by my beloved Boston Red Sox) that if any player stole a base in the series America would get a free taco.

They got some good mileage out of this promo as their CEO was even interviewed during Game 1 of the Series to discuss the matter. The players were even talking about it in the dugout during the game. No surprise it was Red Sox players who were discussing the free taco offer, they are a unique and truly laid back bunch of men.

So when Jacoby Ellsbury - pay attention to that name, he will make Johnny Demon look like a retarded schoolboy - stole 2nd base in Game 2 of the Series all of America was an instant winner. That meant everyone in America was entitled to a free taco at Taco Bell. The catch is you had to pick it up today between 2pm and 5pm. No second chances, no rain checks. As I sat in Taco Bell today, wearing my St. Patrick's Day Red Sox shirt, eating my free taco I decided it was the best tasting taco I had ever had. It was the perfect way to put the finishing touches on a second World Series sweep in 4 years for da Sox.

Incidentally, I was so glad the Sox swept the series. I don't know how many more Necco Wafers I could have eaten. I have lost my taste for them completely. I probably won't have another until the next time the Sox are in the playoffs and in need of some magic.

It is Veramyst that proudly states that Glaucoma is one of the side effects for their drug which treats Allergies. Hmmm, Glaucoma or Allergies? You decide!

It happened again, my ITunes played the same song twice in a row. This time it was Head First by John Waite. I guess this isn't as random as I thought. I think it's more random than my friend Shamun getting picked for the "random" search at the airport but less random than hitting the Pick 6 Lottery.
