Alexa Rodriguez is no relation to Yankee star Alex Rodriguez. But that didn’t stop a defensive red-tailed hawk from attacking the 13-year-old girl Thursday during a middle school field trip to Fenway Park—home of the Red Sox.
Alexa even goes by the nickname A-Rod, same as the Sox nemesis.
The Yankees and Alex Rodriguez visit Fenway for a three-game series next weekend. Not sure if the hawk will be in a fiesty mood, but just in case, A-Rod should bring extra head gear.

Just thought I’d say this because I can’t hold it in, but I’m golfing Sunday at Augusta. OK, so it’s not Augusta National. Augusta Municipal is the closest thing, and it’s cheap, which I like.
After Sunday’s round (I really think I can break 100), I’ll walk the fairways of Augusta National Monday morning to watch Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson and company practice for the Masters.
Augusta National is a special place. It’s serene with true southern beauty. I can’t say the rest of metro Augusta is as appealing. But the city does have Rhinehart’s, perhaps the best place in the world for greasy chicken wings and fried oysters. I can’t leave the city without stopping by Rhinehart’s.
I might bring a few blades of Augusta National grass back with me and replant them in my front yard, but they’d just wilt to death in the upcoming summer heat. Besides, golf course police would probably tackle me and toss me on to four-laned Washington Road.
I’ll post a few pictures next week.

According to a report by the Associated Press, more than 40,000 Alabamians lost a combined 207,871 pounds during the Scale Back Alabama weight loss contest. That’s pretty good considering participants lost 78,472 pounds last year.
Does this mean grease pits and all-you-can-eat buffets across the state are on the brink of going out of business? Not a chance. Though 40,000 entrants lost weight, we have no idea how much weight was gained by others in the state. Personally, I think I gained 10 pounds or so. I’m not going to stand for it either.
It’s good to see so many people dedicated to their health. Hopefully more people will catch on and salad can take the place of fried this ‘n that.
