I still don't have a cellular phone. I haven't seen anything yet that has convinced me to switch.

so why don't Io have to switch off my phone once a day to get text messages.

and I am surprised that Fay didn't hear me yelling yay date! all the way across the waters - it startled the cat.

I live in the bay area - about 20 -30 miles south of oakland. oakland , SJ , SF have gangs - and so do all the towns surrounding them. normally I notice nothing... it was just the were many different groups of teens - and and the ones that were all of the same race ( that's the major dividing line around here) and all dresses the same... well it sorta shouts gang. It isn't something you normally see.

Dh cooked and cooked. I got to serve and clean and haul. poor boy is very tired.

i'm really sorry i switched to cingular

Yuck. Oddly enough, I've had the service for nigh on 5 years and have only had a few problems in the very beginning. They really offered the cheapest plan with the minimum amount of minutes I needed and I've used it all over the country with no issues. Sorry they're of the suck for you. Good luck not going ballistic on their CS rep.

I'm nervous...the person I wrote the book for has it.

Meep. Good luck.

Hec, never say I don't deliver.

I would never say that.

I just take my sweet time about it.

And how! Juliana pictures. It's like a balm for the eyes, and an electric jolt to the libido for both genders.

Go Connie with the short red curls.

Hey guess what we did all day? Tournament Fucking Baseball. And we have another one in Fremont next weekend. That's three weekends in a row.

::glares at Amych and Maria for talking me into this::

::deglares because it wasn't all that bad and Emmett's having a blast::

Emmett finally got to pitch and he did really well over three innings. The opposing coaches made a point of complimenting him after the game, and when they were a little drunker late in the day tried to trade for him.

Emmett had one of his top ten days ever, I think. Although he's had a lot of good days, now that I think of it. But we had baseball at 10:00am and he played very well. We had another game at 5:30 (this is all the way out in wildest suburbia, 45-60 mins from SF), and were going to go home but the traffic going into the city (on Pride weekend) was insane. So we smartly detoured into Berkeley and saw Howl's Moving Castle. (So. Fucking. Good. I don't know why it's gotten less than rhapsodic reviews.) And then on our way out, Emmett found a five dollar bill.

Baseball, money and movies. And then more baseball. And then I let him have nachos.

Now that the coaches are seeing him, Emmett's playing shortstop and second and first when he's not pitching. I think he was only in the outfield one innning today. They really like him - not just because he's good (though he's establishing himself as one of the key players on the team) but because he hustles, focuses and he doesn't pull the pissy behavior some of the other kids do.

So he's having a great summer. And he's loving his daycamp at Acrosports too.

Is his coach's name "Buttermaker"?

I love the Emmett baseball tales.

Is his coach's name "Buttermaker"?

Nope. Captain Wayno. (Okay, actually, that's just his email, but still...)

I love the Emmett baseball tales.

I'm trying not to brag, but he really excelled today. He's starting to have too many highlights for me to relate. I realized that this is the year when I became primarily known as Emmett's Dad, and that's a trend that's probably going to continue for another decade or so.

Dude. My friend punked out. He came over at 6:20 and left at 9:20. That's like not even worth it!! We did have fun but I wanted him to stay longer. Was having good time! He left and GF and I took a LUSH bath, so not all was lost, but then GF went to bed and now I'm up all by myself.

He left and GF and I took a LUSH bath

Nice consolation prize!

Yeah, not too shabby 'cept she's asleep and I'm still awake!
