*for those who are curious, Barbara and I had a bet that the Red Sox would finish the season at least 4 games over the Yankees. As they did not, my end of the bet is display the Yankee's logo at the top of my blog for a month. Keep scrolling down for the current blog entries. I thank you.

UGH!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, sis, but a bet is a bet. Honor is everything.
This hurts me. One game!!! Sheesh! Oh well.. glad you are a man of your word- no matter where it hits ya.
Oh, Stu!
I came here to read your usual blend of wit, warmth, and intelligence. Instead, I was assaulted by a visual containing absolutely none of the above.
You're a man of your word, and that's admirable, but this... is... just... painful...
Oh, I agree, Sul, an assault on the sensibilites to be sure. But, as someone taught me, I am my word. I just hope people understand that the post is a sticky post and continue to scroll down to get the daily dose.
Oh, and GO SOX!!!
HA HA!
Stu,
You're blog has never looked better.
I understand how much this has to hurt because blogs are an extension of their authors. Thanks for playing along with a great bet. It was great fun.
Stu - This note isn't that "sticky".
I thought the blue Yankees logo at the top of the side-bar covered my end of the bet. If not, let me know. I just realized that folks weren't scrolling down to read my latest entries.
On my oath and reputation as a gentleman, I will do whatever satisfies.
Stu - Sorry about that, your sidebar fell off the side of your blog, I think because the logo is so big. I didn't see it down there. Yes, that does satisfy the bet.
You have been nothing but a gentleman through out Stu. It's been lots of fun having this bet with you.
Do you think I should make it smaller? I just grabbed a nice-sized picture, outta respect. (Isn't that the way you Yankee fans talk?)
And my sincerest condolences to you on the Yankee season. It was a great run at the end and you almost pulled off an upset. I'm sure you'll be rooting for the Sox in the playoffs.
Stu - I will be cheering for the Yankees, we clinched a wildcard spot. After the Yankees I would root for the Indians.
Your Favorite Yankees Fan,
Barbara
Sorry Stu. But it's "GO YANKEES"
