Lost In The Dark!
There's something ironic about playing on a softball field sponsored by Con Edison that doesn't have any lights! Or maybe that's not irony, just stupidity?
Welcome to the Playoffs!
Actually, it's the second round, as we won last week's game, an 11-5 rout that we made more interesting than it should have been with a shaky last inning. After throwing out my shoulder in my previous game a couple of weeks ago, I played 1st base and was in on several plays, including three unassisted outs on pop flys. Went 2-for-3 at the plate, with 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Overall, probably my best game yet.Tonight, we'll all have to step it up as we're playing the only undefeated team in the league.

If It’s Not One Thing…
It's another. And another. And another!Thanks to our latest daycare fiascosituation, there's some big changes on the horizon, pretty much across the board. Fork in the road time, if you will, with pretty drastic consequences coming from either direction. Part of me wants to kill Rosa for flaking out on us in such incredible fashion - without even a phone call! - and part of me wants to believe this is the equivalent of my decision to move back to Miami when I got out of the Army crashing and burning on arrival, sending me back to NY and, ultimately,…

Buzzscope Reviews: 7/20/05
A week off for vacation and the to-read pile is ridiculously high! Oddly enough, for all the comics I bought this week, there weren't too many that inspired a review, positive or negative. Two I did like but didn't get a chance to review were Defenders #1 and Grounded #1. The former was as fun and silly as expected, while the latter was a pleasant surprise that caught me unawares. Check it out here.The Atheist #2A taut, black-and-white thriller with a tinge of horror...The Atheist is also the kind of comic book that rewards the discerning reader, one who demands…
