April 13, 2006 08:19 PM EDT -- So much to say, so many images to translate, so much residual glow from my return to my town and my ballpark. I'm entirely too fried to try it: here's a vicarious peek. A few more are posted at . . . more

July 09, 2006 09:20 PM EDT -- I can't believe I spent 20 innings  waiting for...a loss. Such are the vicissitudes of The Game, I know, but still. I want my Sunday back. It's been a fabulous weekend of sunporch and grill . . . more
April 10, 2006 09:52 PM EDT -- Naturally. Naturally! The one time I score a ticket, my star attraction * goes on the DL. Perfect. But no matter. I'm going to Fenway again, and the second home game of the year. And the seats we . . . more

April 02, 2006 07:39 PM EDT -- Yet another immensely gratifying weekend. We did a MASSive cleaning on Saturday. I rarely find myself shilling, but run out and get Mr. Clean Erasers. They're great for deep cleaning any surface. Used . . . more
July 08, 2006 07:39 PM EDT -- Has it really been ten years? Jesus. It's strange to be old enough, at nearly 34, to count the time in decades and the milestones therein. I can hardly fathom that it's been nearly ten years . . . more
April 09, 2006 06:10 PM EDT -- Yes I'm still here, yes I'm still overloaded, yes I'm preservering. I dealt with it all this weekend by taking a few unexpected naps, one of which nicely coincided with the hour-and-a-half . . . more
May 21, 2006 04:00 PM EDT -- I should be working . I've got a ton of work to do to justify the ton of money that I'll be making off of this deal. The idea of a bit of security after a lifetime of struggling, the idea of (eventually) . . . more
