That's so cool, Suzi! I love the sound of people celebrating. Well except when it's my neighbor at 2am, but you know what I mean.

The roar of the crowd and the announcer are audible from our patio - no so loud as you are driven nuts, but definitely noticeable.

Heh. Living across from Kezar Stadium during high school football season is annoying and nuts-making. In fact, I was grumbling about it five minutes ago while my lullabies to Matilda were being drowned out by the P.A. guy for some prep game across the street. Too hot to close the windows.

"If your problems don't include the words 'incurable' or 'indictment' they're not as bad as you think."

This. I am too often described as being unnaturally calm in crisis. Apparently the definition of crisis varies. Also, I hope the right employment thing happens soon for you. It may not be the worst thing ever, but money stress seriously sucks.

I have full on Friday Night Lights going on up behind my apartment.

That really is cool. My last house was within sound distance of the HS football field. I miss band practice. eta on xpost - there is close enough to be pleasant and then there is too close....

Up late after watching 3 Daily Shows from earlier this week. I expect to be giggling in my dreams.

We will see how charming it is a few more weeks into the season, or when baseball starts (that field is the closest, but it doesn't have any spectator stands).

or when baseball starts

Like anybody goes to high school baseball games.

I find it amusing that they have stands set-up for the softball field, but nada for the baseball field.

Baseball will have the last laugh, bwahahahaha! Kids sign out of high school for multimillion dollar deals.

Hey check it out: I looked up archives at the Albany Little League. Do you remember the Coors Silver Bullets? They were a women's baseball team that played exhibition games against men's minor league teams? Back in the 80s/90s for a few years?

Anyway, the only woman from the Silver Bullets to hit a home run grew up playing for... Albany Little League! Oh yeah!

Speaking of which, a classic baseball quote: ""What pressure?" Myers said. "No, not anymore. I probably used to [feel it], but not anymore. I just try to relax. Whatever's going to happen is going to happen. I just try to make pitches when I have to make pitches."

Study Buddhism. Be a baseball player.

Zen might have tobe the word.Sorry , David. We went to a concert tonight. -- at the silent film theater -- during the break they showed a Laural and hardy silent film. disaster= funny for them. any way we saw the Blusin roulettes tonight - a mendicino group --- listen to Bless my soul -- a bitches song if I ever heard one
