Life Goes On - Even if I Catch Crap About the Rockies

I was at the dog park last night and a guy threw a ball for his dog. He threw it so hard it nearly went out of the park. I told him he should be pitching for the Rockies. Another guy there chuckled and said, “Somebody should.”
At work this morning, the janitor came up to [...]

Game One Owie

Okay, so the Rockies got trounced. Pretty damned efficiently, actually. But it was just game one. There are still at least three to go - and there had better be more than three, guys! - so the Rockies still have a chance to prove that eight days off doesn’t kill a team.  They can do [...]

One Year Ago

A year ago today, I was in Newark, NJ. From the plane, I’d seen Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge. For a girl who doesn’t travel much, just the part of that sentence reading “from the plane” is a huge departure, let alone the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge bit. Yeah, that was cool, but that wasn’t [...]
