Sunday
Dispatches from Iraq will be back with a new installment next Sunday.
If you'd like to help out the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Craigslist New Orleans has a ton of links with ways to help people on a micro level. There are also links to all the big relief agencies that are doing a ton of good, plus links to Craigslist sites in other cities affected by the storm. If you have yet to get off your butt and actually do something to help -- and I didn't get around to writing a check for anything until this weekend, myself -- stop with the excuses and just do it, already.

So, I've never smoked crack (honest), but based on the first half of my first day with DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket, I am having a hard time believing the drug could be anywhere near as addictive as all NFL, all day, at my fingertips. Wow. Flipping through the channels in the fourth quarter is something else.
As for the Red Sox' 1-0 loss to the Yankees today, nothing to get too worried about. You win some of those and you lose some, and when you lose them you tip your cap and move on. That's baseball. It happens.
Caught little tidbits here and there of the Seahawks-Jaguars game, the first time the 'Hawks have been my "hometown" team since Sept., 2000. Ummm, let's see ... Seahawks Coach for Life Mike Holmgren used a conservative offense, had to scramble at the end when it was obvious the team was coming up short, and lost. Sounds like nothing's changed. (Remember that time the Seahawks won a playoff game? I do. I think I was in fourth grade, maybe third, but I remember watching the game and then going out sledding with my friend Cal, then my mom made us hot cocoa afterwards).
