I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Contributing to kid stories...

At my daughter's soccer practice, Leif was keeping himself entertained in the rest of the park. Five middle school age looking kids were playing basketball, so six year old Leif just jumps in and starts tying to guard one of them. A bit later they divided into teams of three and one of the guys said his team was himself, Kyle, and "little dude". So Leif got to be on a team as "little dude".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmph. You get victory-over-bureaucracy points, but not annoying-task points.

Accepted!

Way to go middle school kids! Way to go little dude!

Scanwiches

I like the unvarying rigor of the cross-section shots.

Damn those look tasty. Who's having scanwiches sandwiches for lunch today?

t baseball geek Who's following the World Baseball Classic?

Netherlands beat the Dominican Republic!

Australia beat Mexico!

Italy looked pretty good!

South Africa is still extremely pathetic. But go them in a Jamaican bobsled kind of way.

Hmmm. It's not closing.

Punishingly Intricate

Turkey club from Jimmie's! Not a great sandwich but an old standby. Total comfort food. Although I don't really need comforting today.

like a DMV visit.

Hey, remember when I visited SF to look unsuccessfully for a job in Oakland* and we had to go to the police station and the DMV, neither of which could even help me at all?

Good times, man.

ETA: Dude. That was actually a completely different SF trip when I lost my license at the Grand Canyon. Wow, my relationship with that city was ill-fated from the start.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had no sandwich! I had sushi. And chips. And some donut holes.

I am shocked and appalled to see more than one pastrami sandwich with mayo on that blog. And I love mayo!

Speaking of blogs, last night my mother asked me (1) what's Twitter, and (2) if I read blogs. I was like, isn't everything a blog now??

Hey! Speaking of the Grand Canyon, what's near enough by it to combine into a vacation for non-outdoorsy types, aside from Las Vegas? (My parents and I are talking about a family vacation, and I had to remind my mother why Banff probably isn't the right place for us....)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm just finishing up a bowl of oatmeal. A sandwich is a possibility for dinner, though.
