In the pictures, in terms of people who still post here, I see meara and Vortex. Though I don't know if Vortex has posted in a while.
I think I still have the t-shirt upstairs. I might have to check it.
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Flea, this one's my fav: [link]
Partly because it REALLY makes it sound like a Neil Young song that way.

I was about to say, I was there, but couldn't tell you what year it was.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yes, meara, Emmett is a senior.
Is there one in particular that he really wants to go to?
The first school he got into is actually the place his professional baseball coach suggested he could go and be the starting catcher as a Freshman. So that's Cal State East Bay (CS-EB, previously Cal State - Hayward).
For those not familiar with the California university system, UC schools are the top tier, and the CalState schools are the next tier (and more affordable!) and then you get into the JCs.
So he applied to all the Cal State colleges that have baseball programs.
The cool thing is that he got into the Kinesiology program at CS-EB, which is competitive to get into and would give him a sassy B.S. instead of a B.A.
CS-EB is also pretty close. About a 45 minute drive. So we could see him on the monthly or so, and it wouldn't be horrible travel expenses. He wants to stay in California anyway.
And he just got into Sonoma State and Cal State-San Bernadino.
Baseball is still his focus, so if he continues to play at his current high level and improve then a likely scenario would be for him to play two years at CS-EB (which is a Div. III school and has no scholarships) and then be able to transfer to a Div. I school (should he be able to get a baseball scholarship.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, how exciting! What I know of all 3 of those schools is pretty good! Caveat - none of what I know is baseball related.
I just realized I am wearing all pink (well, pink shirt and red pants) and packed pink workout clothes for the gym. Subconsciously in honor of msbelle, I'm sure.
