We just swept the Rockies, a team that never should have been in the World Series, Joe Torre got canned, and A-Rod just opted out of the final years of his undeserving, underperforming $251 million contract. I predict that the Yankees are about to enter a period of mediocrity unseen since Don Mattingly donned his mullet in the 1980's.
Life as a Red Sox fan is good.
I watched game 4 from the comfort of my hotel room in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Angkor Wat and the other ancient Khmer temples are right up the street. How cool is that? I skipped this morning's activity, a visit to a nature preserve, to watch the game.

I took over 200 pictures at yesterday's visit to Angkor Wat. We were literally the first people inside the temple to watch the sun rise. It was pouring rain at 4 AM when we got up to leave, but by the time the sun came up the clouds had cleared away.
They stayed away all day. All of my pictures of the 1000 year old temples have a bright blue sky in them. I'm looking forward to posting them. It has been cloudy and raining on all but a few days on this trip. We were extremely blessed to get sun and blue skies yesterday.
Today is pretty much the last day of our Intrepid tour. Tomorrow morning we take a bus into Thailand and Bangkok, then we spend one more night in Bangkok before the tour officially ends. We'll part ways on the 31st.
David's college buddy has invited us to dinner on the night of the 31st. He is taking us to a place on the 78th floor (or something like that) of a building overlooking the whole city of Bangkok. I'm going to wear the new gecko shirt I had specially made in Hoi An, Vietnam.
