NY Mets 2006 NL East Champions!!
I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring, which makes it like sex...It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball - Annie Savoy Bull Durham

while we were sleeping
we were all snuggled up in comfy flannel sheets and warm blankets and woke up to snow! real snow.
i thought we would absolutely be on the rain/snow line--this is fairly typical for this aread--and wind up with a little slushy sludge. but no! snow!
and you know what's really fun about this? we are headed out to buy a tree this morning.
it's beginning to look a lot like christmas! (three weeks and counting....ah!)
