What a story!

Sometime truth is stranger than fiction. This is from a Reuters story....
I found this story to be fascinating, if not gruesome. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction!

TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- A Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for 2 km (1.2 miles), leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb.

The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday, when he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into the central barrier, the Mainichi Shimbun said.

He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his right leg was missing until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as saying.

The man and his leg were taken to hospital, but the limb had been crushed in the collision, the paper said

America's Calling Pictures

America's Calling for Mitt in Boston

Okay, so I haven't updated lately. I finally got some pictures from my trip to Boston for America's Calling. I figure that I would put them up. Go Mitt! We were happy to help him get to the top of the lead in fundraising and are happy he has won the Iowa straw poll. We'll see if his strategic planning will prove successful. There are a few more pictures to put up with Mitt himself, but I will have to track those down. Finally, the picture showing the Sawks with a 10 1/2 game lead is priceless, especially now that the Yanks have cut it to 4 games.

Barry Bonds: All-Star?

Today it was announced that Barry Bonds, or Barroid Bonds if you will, was voted in by the fans to represent the NL in the All-Star game in his home town of Frisco. While many may argue against Barry's inclusion/worthiness to be in the game, I for one support it. He's got the highest OPS in the NL, and is still the most feared batter in the NL, if not in the AL (maybe ARod or Papi in the 9th inning.) Bonds deserves to be one of a ridiculous number of All-Stars...aren't there 32 for each team? He should be there to represent the Giants, since Barry is the San Fran Giants. Best of luck Barry and I can't wait to see the boo's rain down on you when you break Hank's record. It's a shame because you weren't the only one using 'roids and HGH during the 'roid era-----allegedly!

Why I Blog

I wanted to start this blog for a variety of reasons. One being, it is a good forum for me to update new happenings in my life so friends can stay in touch and apprised of things. Also, it's an easy way to keep a journal as I am more inclined to update a blog than to write in a journal. In addition, I hope to be able to use this as a forum to describe what it's like to work as a consultant for Bain. Lastly, I hope to be able to opine on various things related to sports, the GMAT, economics, business, and religion.
