I’m not a regular player in the “Ten on Tuesday” game, but this week’s topic is a good one. So, just like Sarah, I plundered the Internet to find some tidbits of intrigue from my birth year. And, just like Sarah said, I don’t remember any of these things actually happening, though many of them …
Yeah, it’s been a while. I went out of town. Saw the Mets beat the Phillies on a final trip to Shea. Rode a wonderful century through the Berkshires in three states. And enjoyed a lot of music, the company of friends, and lots of mud at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. More on all …
There’s really nothing more to say about it: Nationals Park can be lovely.
Just a few things I’ve pondered in the last…. day or two: David Cook should win American Idol, as he’s the only one who seems to be willing to push boundaries and mix up styles. Now that I’ve said this, he’s guaranteed not to win. The new Nationals Park is a nice ballpark, and it …

It’s not fun as a baseball fan when two teams you root for let you down on the same day. First, the New York Mets completed their historic collapse by losing to the Florida Marlins. Tom Glavine performed every bit the part of a player who should hang up his glove, giving up 7 runs …

Some things that have crossed my mind today: WAMU’s decision to relegate their bluegrass programming to the HD range is flat-out stupid. The powers-that-be at WAMU continue to prove that they know how to implode a local radio station, creating more of the same (political talk radio and over-syndicated NPR content) rather than provide a …
After a last-minute cleaning blitz – most of the responsibility for the cleaning goes to sprite – we welcomed her parents into town for a weekend of dining and baseball. It was wonderful to have them back in town (they lived here nearly full-time for 14 years), and they got to see the Mets crush …
Haven’t been on a bike since last Saturday. I’m itching to get back on, but I know that my ribs need to mend. If it’s any consolation, it doesn’t hurt (much) to cough anymore. And I should be ready to go when next I lead a PPTC ride…. Congrats to the St. Louis Cardinals – …
