I was planning on posting this last night, but I got sent home from work at the greyhound track early because it was a slow night, so I was a little upset when I got home. Here is a link to the company I work for right now:

When I'm done working here, I will definitely have to go and watch the races for a night. From where I work and what I can see, it seems like a pretty cool deal.
In honor of the lack of Sportscenter, Sports Illustrated and a general ESPN influence, I've decided to post my own "By the Numbers" for my trip. Here it goes:
- 14 - days I've been on the Emerald Isle
- 0 - seconds of NBA Finals action that I have seen, unfortunately
- 4 - Euro 2008 games that I have seen at least half of the 90 minutes played
- 11 - hours worked at my job at the Galway Greyhound Track (slightly less than 1 hour/day)
- 40 - minute walk to and from work - and I walk pretty fast
- 16 - times I have went for a run
- 128 - total mileage of these 16 runs
- 1 - elite entry for Irish Runner 5 mile in Dublin (fee waived, etc.)
- 8/11 - days that I have been in Galway where there has been some precipitation
- 1 - time that I have used an umbrella
- 107 - page impressions on June 1st, a record for The Erichsen Files
- 2 - Finnish roommates, one of which is moving out today
- 2 - phones that I have been using over here (Skype and my Irish cell phone)
- 1 - movie I have seen in theatres (Indiana Jones, in Gaelic with subtitles)

Loved the post Erichsen. That company you are working for looks awesome. I would be interested to know what your responsibilities are. Oh, and I can't believe you are missing out on the NBA finals action...and I was wondering who you are cheering for? I know you are a big Kobe fan but I also remember you loving the Celts as well. My prediction is you are cheering for Boston, especially with your newfound Irish connections...haha take it easy.
