Freya has figured out how to solve her shape sorting ball. She got it as a present from her grandfather when she was about eleven months old, and started solving it herself seven months later, which I think developmentally is still a bit early. She likes working on her stacking cups, though today was getting […]

The San Francisco Giants are coming to Seattle in May to play a three-game interleague series with the Mariners. Yes! My dream has come true! I’ll be there, in my french-vanilla-ice-cream-colored jersey and my black and orange cap. Maybe we can get seats behind the visitors dugout?

All the teams I follow closely sucked this year, except one: the White Sox. And they may still blow it. So here is the list of teams I am rooting for in the playoffs, in order of preference, whether they have made it there or not (TBD by Sunday). NL 1. Brewers 2. Phillies 3. […]

I don’t miss much about San Francisco. I do miss the availability of Peet’s coffee, the shopping in Union Square, the Ferry Building Farmers Market, Arizmendi bakery, Golden Gate Park … and I miss the Giants. I didn’t fully realize it til the season started and I found myself missing listening to the Giants broadcasting […]

My former roommate recently got engaged to her boyfriend of three years. Yay! She sent me a pic of her ring today — it’s a gorgeous square-cut diamond from Derco, the awesome Armenian jeweler where we got our wedding set, as well as a pair of xmas earrings. Love that place. That’s where I tried […]

Tomorrow is my last day here. It hasn’t sunk in. Tonight my chums from work are taking me out for drinks at a nearby classy cocktail bar. I am still touched when I hear that people will miss me around here. I was always kind of the quiet one, but I have come out of […]

+ this morning I had my teeth cleaned. A solid bill of health as usual. Early 30s and only one teeny filling, acquired four or so years ago. It must be genetic. My dentist wants to see me for a thirty minute exam next week since I am leaving her care forever. + I really […]

+ I’ve been writing a thing about mix tapes for the book. Oh how I remember how hard I worked on mix tapes for people, and how I treasured the ones made for me. Terrible Neil made me a great one in 1997, a really great one, which I am sure I later burned or […]

Posting from Allison’s boyfriend’s sweet house in Milwaukee… It has been overcast and warm all day. After the game last night, we walked back to Camp Kickass. Stopped at Dunkin Donuts on the way, figuring that since we’d walked about six miles that afternoon, a donut was in order. We hung out for a few […]

I’ve been watching the A’s for like six years and I don’t remember any bench-clearing brawls. They have always been a pretty laid-back team, very few episodes of intentional beaning that I recall, not a lot of hotheads on the roster* — now that Bradley has been traded to the Padres. I am watching them […]
