The A's have won seven in a row now. Yeah, so the last three were against the Brewers -- the way this season's been going I'll take what I can get. (And I'm still not holding my breath waiting for the UPS guy to bring me 2002 playoff tickets.)
The University of Georgia has decided to shame people into graduating in four years by referring to students as "first-years," "second-years," etc. Oh, and they're also talking about taking away parking privileges and football ticket rights for "fifth-years" and above. My fellow fifth-years at Little Hippie U. wouldn't have given a rat's ass about the football, but taking away parking? That's just cold, man.
That story about Congress getting bad ideas from baseball owners that I found shiny last week? If this article is to be believed, some people in Beijing actually believed it was true.
I made this today, and while next time I'd cut the sugar back from 1/3 to 1/4 of a cup (or maybe even less), it was goooood. Turned my pot purple though.
TheBoy got a job!
