Rockies Win 9-7

The Colorado Rockies won tonight beating the Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 9-7.

With the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies losing tonight, the Rockies gained ground on them.  But the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen blew it in the ninth inning and gave up a three-run home run to lose to the San Diego Padres by two.

The Rockies are now three games back of the Diamondbacks and one game back of the Padres in the Wild Card Race.  They are now tied with the Phillies.

Five games to go and they are still in this race.  Go Rockies!!!!!

I am constantly trying to get going with Getting Things Done by David Allen. I have read his book and keep trying to practice his techniques.

It is not easy, but once you get rolling, it is pretty easy, but it is also easy to fall off-the-wagon.

GTD has helped me become more productive at home and in my job.

I saw this on Lifehacker, David Allen on Managing Your Stuff with GTD.

The Denver Post – Central Park lovers get engaged, mugged

The Denver Post – Central Park lovers get engaged, mugged

This is a pretty happy evening that turned to a said one.  To propose and have your girlfriend accept and then to get mugged at gun point?

That is quite an evening.

At least he was able to hide the ring from the robber.

I hope things get better for them and they eventually get the dinner at the romantic French Restaurant.

The War by Ken Burns

I am watching this film series, The War by Ken Burns.

This is an incredible film.  It takes a look at the war, not from the expert or historian point-of-view, but from an individual point-of-view.

The beginning jumps around a little and does not go into detail on how the war started and what led to the causes, especially in the Pacific Theater.  But it is a good look at how the war affected common Americans and how they built up to fight the war.

I would encourage everyone to watch it and learn so that this does not happen again.

Is there a NFL team in Denver?

The town is finally realizing that there is a baseball team in Denver, the Colorado Rockies.

Today, the Rockies swept the San Diego Padres 7-3 .  Also today the Denver Broncos lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-14.  But it is nice to see that the lead on the Denver Post tonight is the Rockies winning.

Up until lately, no matter what the Rockies were doing, the Broncos would have the lead story.  Now with the Rockies doing so well and the Broncos just starting their season, the local media is starting realize that the Rockies have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs.

Let’s hope the Rockies continue to roll and that the make the playoffs.  Today, they are only 1.5 games back.

Go Rockies!!!
