Awww...you say that like it's a bad thing....

Well, I don't begrudge the Tigers. They're playing much better baseball. 13 strikeouts tonight, 4 double plays yesterday. Even if the A's were playing flawless baseball (and they're not), I don't know if they'd be winning these games. They look overmatched. Milton's the only player that's turning around those superheated fastballs from the Detroit pitchers.

I don't shred, DH does, bless him. But I'm with you on loathing vacuuming. I'll run a carpet flick, I'll clean the rug with a rubber rake. Just don't make me haul out the noisy, heavy, clunky monster.

I even bought a new one last year. The shiny wore off and what was underneath was just a vacuum.

OTOH, we saw a flash of Suzi in the crowd, and moments later the phone rang -- Emmett, calling from his mom's house, to say, "Hey, that was Suzi! Did you see her?" Clearly, the Name-That-Cool-Grownup flash cards are working.

Very cool.

What a sucky game. What a sucky baseball day...the whole Cory Lidle thing just put a pall over the whole afternoon/evening. He was CJ's favorite when Lidle played for us (the same name thing is big for little kids).

The flag experience - WOW. VERY COOL. I'll have to write that up with pictures later. I'm SO TIRED. Sad, but SO TIRED. Hopefully my spunky attitude will return tomorrow - just game 2 out of 7, it is not over yet (though David makes VERY good points about how each team has been playing).

Enough baseball.

So, ummmmm, what else is going on?

I ran out of hangers long before I ran out of clean clothes.

Oh well.

Dear Body,

Just because we went to bed at 5pm doesn't mean you can wake up at 12:30am.

Thank you ever so much!

Do you have any idea how much this is blowing my mind. The Tigers? In the playoffs? And winning? Seriously?

ok - I have posted a couple of pictures from today. I have a friend who is going to send me better ones sometime soon.

interested in some caryatid photos? I got some goodies.

SQUEE!!! Yes please! And thank you!

The Tigers? In the playoffs? And winning? Seriously?

Yeah, you and my friend Larry both. He's been gloating all over us in email.

That's so sad about Cory Lidle. It couldn't have been suicide, right?

Suzi, those pics are amazing. So cool that you got to be a part of that!

We've got thunderstorms moving through the area, so Toto's all anxious. So, we got up. I'm about to be all responsible and do schoolwork. I've got a couple hours before I need to be in the shower.

::adopts Emeline-reminiscent voice:: Why won't you wake up and plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiith meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
