KT & ND: my Mom says you have to have a meal at the Prado. I agree.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well, we won't have time on this brief trip, but we are having Mexican in Old Town.
Happy Birthday, Robin!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Susan, I hope the chemo does it's thing properly. Much health-ma to your mom.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Dude, I am so stupid. I've had 4 pairs of pants that need hemming for at least 4 months. I even have 2 of the pairs pinned up and all ready to go. I finally sat down to hem them tonight and I don't have the right color thread for 3 of them. D'oh!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All best thoughts for your mom, Susan. And you and the rest of your family, as well.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
~ma for your mom, Susan.
I feel like I should be doing something more interesting with my life than what I am doing with it. When I was a kid, I could deal with this feeling by going to the woods and pretending to fight some dragons, or playing on the swingset and imagining I was making my way through a jungle full of wild animals. Now, I'm not sure what I should do.
A friend and I are planning to go take a trapeze class on Wednesday. Well, we are if we can figure out how to take public transportation to Inner Harbor -- it seems like it should be relatively simple, but it isn't. I'm betting trapeze will make me feel a bit better. (Really want to go surfing or boogie-boarding, but getting to a beach seems to be impossible.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Thanks, y'all. I'm cautiously optimistic. They caught her cancer earlier than they did my dad's, and she's definitely doing better under the chemo. It's tiring her out physically, but it isn't affecting her mind like it did with Dad.
Back to packing....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry Susan. Oof, what a rough month for Buffista parents.
Some of the kids aren't doing so great either.
Emmett's team won 18-8, beating Alameda again. Emmett went 3-5 with two doubles, and caught for three innings.
We've beaten Alameda four out of our last five meetings, and they're the best other team in our district. They're who beat us the one time in the district championships and who we faced in the finals.
But our team is just a juggernaut now. This game wasn't a slaughter because the ten run lead didn't happen until the last inning, but we won every game in this tournament by ten runs or more.
We've won our last two tournaments in a row, and the District, and the first tournament we played this summer.
Next year they'll have to set their sights higher to win Sectionals and try to go on to State because they're starting to lap the competition.
So that's just about it for Little League. We've got one tournament at the beginning of September that's just for fun, up in Manteca. It's a special complex that has miniature versions of classic baseball fields. Minature Fenway, Wrigley, Ebbets, Polo Grounds, Tiger Stadium. Cool!
