O-pening Day, Matzoh Brei, and eBay: It's April
O-pening DayThe opening day ceremonies and national anthem at Camden Yards made me all weepy. I am such a sucker. But, did I imagine it or did the crowd boo Biden throwing out the first pitch? Aside from the respect issue, Baltimore is overwhelmingly Democratic. What the hell? Totally disappointing behavior. I might as well [...]
Those Were the Days My Friend
For quite a few years now, after January 1st I have considered myself the age I am going to turn in that year. So, if asked my age between January 1 and April 19, I have to think really hard about the answer. Actually, I always have to think hard about how old I am, [...]

Misc. Dec. Jan.
After nearly a month of being ill in some form or another, I’m back to normal. Except for one thing. I’ll get to that later. In the meantime:
1. In the process of Christmas shopping for Scott’s niece, I discovered that jeans from a particular teenager store look really, really good on me. (I have to [...]
World ChampionChip Cake
Few things get me motivated like a good cake recipe. Last weekend we stopped at Scott’s parents’ house to celebrate his birthday on the way back from State College, and his mom made a chocolate chip pumpkin cake. The cake looked amazing -a lovely burnt orange bundt cake topped with chocolate- and pumpkin is a [...]
It was a riot.
In the last seconds of the game, an interception in the end zone sealed Penn State’s victory over Ohio State. Hundreds of screaming idiots -I among them- at Bill Pickle’s pub danced, shouted, chanted and high-fived each other. As soon as we could hear each other, Josh said something like,” let’s go riot!” Soon four [...]
TGIF
That would be, “Thank God It’s Football.” There was nothing but football on at Scott’s parents’ house yesterday. That was good.
Vipassana impends. What I have noticed -this is a very good thing- is that I am usually very busy right before the things that make me nervous, which makes the anxiety much easier to manage. [...]
Rolling Rock, Jesus, Eddie Murray, and Me
We’re all 33.
It’s Sunday, it’s my birthday, and I am going to work.
It’s really breathtaking how fast one goes from being thirty to being in one’s thirties. Whoosh!
O-pening Day
It was fifty degrees and drizzling, but Scott and I each had a seven dollar beer and toasted each other with “Happy summer!” So began our afternoon at Camden Yards for opening day. My mom and her special friend were along for the game, which was fun, even though the game wasn’t very good. I [...]
