I'm back from our second All-Star game. A very tough game against a tough South Oakland team. We were down 2-0 as late as the 4th inning, but we tied it up, coughed up the lead, tied it up, and pulled away for an 11-4 win.

Emmett played a great game. Caught all six innings. Had one inning where he made two defensive outs at catcher (pounced on a bunt and threw the runner out, nabbed a tricky foul ball). And he hit the ball well all-game, going 2 for 4, but one of the outs was a smoked line drive to the second baseman. And one of the hits was in the middle of the tying rally, and another was a two RBI double.

It's good to stay in the winner's bracket.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I rather like these two from Beaufort, SC.

Isn't Beaufort gorgeous? My father's last living sibling lives there and I just fell in love with it on my last visit.

I've heard guys using Uptalk. Several of my students. It drives me nuts.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm pretty sure a misreading of Knuffle Bunny was how Kerfuffle Bunny started.
Yep, that would be my fault.

ETA: And yes, I hate hate hate uptalk. I (sweetly) beat it out of my students.

I -- very seriously -- cannot leave a penny on the ground. I have fished them out of mud puddles, motor oil splatters, and other dubious goop. Whenever I do any sort of volunteer thing that involves going door to door (like checking to see who has recycle bins, and if they don't have them but want them, obtaining their info), I have to try really hard to NOT pick up pennies on the ground on their property.

Steph is me. The only time I don't pick them up is when they are in the middle of a busy street, and then I think about them all day.

We finally got our office a/c fixed, and now it is FREEZING in here. Better than sitting in a pool my own sweat, but come on, office temperature people! Find a happy medium!
