Theodosia, I don't think it is in poor taste at all to ask for a bit of help when you are in a bind, especially since you used so much of your own resources to help an animal and a person who were also in a bind.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What the hell, the Reds just scored their first run of the year on a balk. Not the most dramatic way to start the season.
But Johnny Cueto pitched his 1,000th strikeout, so that's pretty excellent. And the 1990 Nasty Boys were the grand marshals of the Opening Day parade, which makes me feel pretty damn old.

Oh, good. My aunt and uncle are not spending the entire week in Chicago because the weather is supposed to be crappy. And I had to reassure my aunt that casual clothes are completely fine to visit my office. She doesn't realize how hilarious it is that she's asking if casual clothes are okay. Our dress code is, like, maybe don't show up in your pajamas unless it's pajama day.

Gotta be better than what's happening in Milwaukee. Of which I know nothing, except that my sister is posting on FB asking about slaughter rules for opening day.

We've got a rain delay, but it looks like it'll blow over. But the Reds are ahead 2-0 (after the score on a balk, Jay Bruce hit a home run, which was nice), so I feel pretty good about it so far.

Don't knock the balk. The Braves got to the playoffs on a balk. (The balk is one of those baseball rules that I put in the "now you're just messing with us" category.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amy!
Am eating a kosher for Passover frozen dinner because Gary's away on business. It's roast turkey, and I managed to spill hot turkey broth on my right pinky finger. Over all, not a great experience. (The mashed sweet potatoes are the best part of the whole thing.)

I'm pretty sure Tim doesn't believe that one (along with the infield fly rule). He's pretty gleeful about HBP, though, and thinks you should get more bases depending on how hard you get hit (like if you get hit by a 100 mph Aroldis Chapman pitch, you should just get an automatic run, because DAMN).

Aaaaaaaaa, this baseball game! Todd Frazier just hit a 3-run home run into the second deck. DAMN.
And here comes Chapman to bring it home. I love love LOVE watching him pitch. He's just not human.

Hell YES. I love this game.
