This morning, Jen, Jason and I headed to Plato’s Diner for breakfast. I’d never been there before, although I’d past by it many times. After breakfast, we headed up to Baltimore for the ballgame. Jen headed to the Inner Harbor and Jason and I went to the game. We stayed for 6 full innings before…
I was in bed just before 8 PM last night. It was still light out, but I am trying desperately to get onto a consistent schedule and I figured if I got into bed, I wouldn’t be distracted by TV; I could sit quietly and read for 30 minutes or so, which is exactly what…
Dad and I headed to Camden Yards at about 11 AM, getting to the ball park just after 11:30 AM. It was sunny but cool and very windy, and Dad was not dressed for the occasion. Our seats, which are usually perfect because they are in the shade, were much cooler and very windy; so…
Do you really think any friend or family member would fail to inform me of such an event, knowing that I was not going to be able to stay up to watch the game? Doug was the first to text me and all his text said was, “Wow, back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs,” which left me guessing…
I drank more than I intended at happy hour last night, knowing I had to get up early this morning to head down to Richmond for Ravencon. However, I drank ten or fifteen times as much water as anything else which minimized the damage. In fact, the 2 beers and 4 shots I had was…
I hope that people will finally shutup about A-Rod’s performance now that he has his 10th homerun in 20 days and his 2nd walk-off homerun this season. (And there are still 10 days left in April.) Even The Post is giving A-Rod good press. (Which is more than they are doing for the likes of…
I watched portions of the Yankees game today, but since I was reading, I didn’t watch the whole thing. I checked the score late in the game and saw that the Orioles were winning 7-6 in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 outs, bases loaded and A-Rod up to the plate, so I…
I may have mentioned this before, but seeing the Yankees season-opener yesterday reminded me of it so forgive me if I am being repetitive. It’s time to stir the controversy once again. I am sick and tired of baseball games that play the god-awful song, “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch, instead of…
I got home from work and pulled the lawn mower out of the garage for the first time this year. The lawn was in pretty bad shape–meaning the grass was pretty tall, especially in the back. It took about an hour, but I got it all mowed. There’s something about a freshly mowed lawn that…
It’s finally spring with the baseball season opening this evening with a game on ESPN between the Mets and the Cardinals. I’m sure strausmouse will try and stay up to watch the game, but I will only catch the first 25 minutes or so because I have to get to bed early. I am planning…
I’m done with work for the day, but hanging around until happy hour, which will begin around 5:30, so I have some time to kill. I talked to Doug on the phone earlier today and it was good to hear from him. He sounded like he was as ready to get out of the office…
Apparently, we have entered a phenomenon known as March Madness, as evidence by the seemingly dozens of college basketball games on in the bar last night during happy hour. People really get into this March Madness. There are these “bracket” boards all over the place and people try to guess who will end up as…
