    I hope Gameday is working tonight, cause I’m back at work missing yet another, what I’m sure will be awesome, Red Sox game. Get to miss another Josh start too. Wah.

    GO SOX!!

    Disturbingly enough, this is my first time on a computer all day. (spent her afternoon playing weird video games with some college friends – the few people on campus who get her, actually)

    I am so, so, so ready for some Josh tonight.

    Hi Bethie and Steph!

    Gameday is working just fine, it appears. I’m hoping to rely on it less tonight as I try to really LISTEN while getting a few more chores done around the house. I was such a slug today and really need to make up for it.

    Come on Josh!

    When you can fit in a movie and dinner after the husband gets home from work and before the game, you are obviously ruling. Hi, all!

    I bet that K sure was pretty. :)

    Nothing better than retiring a side with 6 pitches.

    Shields isn’t looking as invincible as he did last week.

    Hi All!

    :: waves ::

    I just got home from seeing some old friends–organizing a 3-day walk for breast cancer (a friend of mine has it).

    I love watching Beckett pitch.

    Ah yes, that’s the friend with whom you were going to reminisce about your misspent youth, right? ;-)

  18. 2008 May 3 at 7:15 pm

    Jules, my mom did a walk one year – it’s a fantastic cause!

    This is a 3-day walk around San Francisco and each day is 20 miles (20 miles!). It’s a great cause, indeed.

    Does Avon still sponsor that? I did that a few years ago in NYC.

    No doubt, Kristina! I did too. Trouble is, when I finally reconnected with my best friend from college after 25+ years of being out of touch, turns out that she had gone way conservative, had plenty of regrets about her past wildness, and had no interest in reminiscing. We didn’t have much in common in the present day, so fell out of touch quickly. But every now and then I hear from other friends from back then, and we have a blast talking about it.

    Jules, kudos to you on your good works!

    LOL, Trish, don’t you feel just a tad guilty for double-rooting?

  31. 2008 May 3 at 7:21 pm

    That’s much better!

    I know Avon does a walk, but don’t think they sponsor this one. I’m still learning alot about it, tho.

    LOL Trish, “incognito.” I have to do that too with some of my family. I currently have a couple of e-mails to answer from cousins whose e-mails are full of gushes about various Yankees-related things, and I’m having to do my homework so I can keep up the facade, because they have NO idea I switched sides.

    Kristina, what’s really fun is that as my class reaches the heart of “mid life,” a lot of folks seem to feel the need to reconnect with their youth. I’ve heard from several people out of the blue, so have been corresponding with them in addition to the several I’ve kept up with since we graduated.
