Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was playing third base and missed a grounder because of my old bad habit, and immediately, as if 15 years hadn't passed, I heard from the bleachers: "Put. Your. Glove. DOWN!!!"

I think I would have turned a couple shades of red if my dad did this.

Heh. It was perfectly normal to me. I almost didn't notice.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

That ties right into the whole "selective hearing" debate my parents used to have with me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

until you get into a strong, spread position and are keyed to the ball and the bounce.

Wait, are we talking about BASEBALL here?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

One of the very interesting things about coaching is that kids who don't belong to you will listen to you, whereas your own kids tune you out.

Emmett does listen to me, but not in the same way. I have to drill him forever while he rolls his eyes and snarks. Eventually though he'll feed it back to me and I know it got through. If Tim is coaching him though, he'll just make an immediate adjustment. Same with Tim's daughter, Emma. When I told her to lengthen her stride while pitching, boom, she just did it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This jives with what I remember of my dad coaching soccer. He eventually decided to coach a team that none of his kids were on, though all three of us played.

Trust my rage

Timelies all!

Deena, I'm sorry to hear about your dad's heart attack. I'm sending much ~ma your way.

shrift, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin.

I'm back in Colorado. I had forgotten how much I loved living here! The mountains are so beautiful!!! Anyway, I'll be skimming for the next few days because I'm in town for my graduation from law school. I pick up my robes this afternoon and tomorrow is the ceremony.

Darlingnest Scrappy, you've seen Bull Durham enough to know the sex and baseball core values.

If I only had a brain...

Okay, this is a very good idea: anti-stink insoles for sandals.

I don't know, walking around on wool in the summer sounds iffy to me.

Six bucks a pair is also pretty expensive. And they don't come in pink.
