i'm real sorry for the intermittentness of my posting...i'm still working, far too much.

the team has started the season off in fascinating fashion, losing six of their first ten, including four one-run games. three times opponents have had 'walk-off' hits, all with two outs. this includes a two-out walk off grand slam to secure a 7-6 defeat, from the same guy who had a two-out hit in the bottom of the ninth of a 1-0 game. the other game-ending hit game? the one in which our guys came back from a 10-1 deficit, took a 13-12 lead, and lost, 14-13, in eleven innings. wow.

now, there is one incredible benefit to working my odd hours. it's 245 eastern in the am, and i wanted vending machine food. i don't have singles or change. i head to the front desk of the hotel for singles. as i exchange my ten, i notice that the continental breakfast is already out. (seems unfresh to me!) i ask if it's free game. i'm told yes. and i save the 90 cents i would have spent on famous amos cookies.

bedtime at 445, i think.
