I also have a pile of pre-divorce family pictures that I'm not sure what to do with.

Photoshop.

Ginger for the win.

I am trying to figure out how cricket is played. I am confused.

My theory is you have to be raised in a cricket-loving society to understand it.

(This helps me not think about it, so don't tell me I'm wrong.)

First, you buy a dress. Something light and floaty. For shoes, I would suggest flats or wedges, since you'll be on grass. A cool pair of sunglasses is a must, and, of course, a stylish hat is essential.

You eat strawberries and drink bubbly wine, and cheer when everyone else does. Occasionally say things like "oh, dear, a sticky wicket!" and "Will he get a century?"

I tried to get someone who grew up playing cricket to talk me through the cricket game in Dorothy Sayers' Murder Must Advertise. There were nouns and verbs involved, but none of them made sense.

I like Vortex's description.

I find it best to assume that it's a wildly inappropriate sport based on a joke about old and painful galactic battle history.

We just came in from shooting a little archery for the first time since the winds calmed down. The SO shot from a lawn chair, so he's feeling quite chipper now. Last night he sat on the drum throne for telescope viewing. So he's not been too terribly limited by his bum leg, although I know he's unhappy about it, he really hasn't complained.

I need to replace my arrow rest. It was a crappy one that came with the bow to begin with and I never liked it. But it has bad bristle wear, so now when I set the arrow on it, it cants to the right, which, needless to say, is affecting my accuracy. I need to get it in the shop and pull the kisser button and replace the rest before the summer. I also want to up the draw weight a little.

I have watched cricket matches live, on two continents, and still am not entirely clear about how it works. (This goes both ways; we had several Indians over to watch the World Series once, and they were so confused.)

pull the kisser button

Just wanted to see out of context....

I don't need the kisser anymore!
