on sunday, i came back from a break and sang the praises of the music being played at the ballpark. at about 12 minutes to game time, xtc's "season cycle" (from skylarking) was played and then, between innings, played the johnny cash version of "i won't back down."

i thought this was worth mentioning. [they also played the fantastic "swing, swing" song from 2003, but i can't sing those praises.]

today, i was through with my postgame show, and i was doing some postgame work. windows were open, and my counterpart was speaking loudly.

and returning from break, he said 'as coldplay brings us back,' and i thought that dude was totally a dork.

the lesson here is that, as usual, i'm a prick.

dave's mom was on letterman tonight. that's always one of the highlights.

she gave her "top ten things i have learned in my 84 years."

among the highlights:
10) in a pinch, vanilla extract can give you a good buzz.
7) male figure skaters are usually gay.
4) with a color printer, you can easily make counterfeit meineke gift certificates.
3) never give a bookie your home phone number.

i do lurve dave.
