Fraction and I have become baseball-obsessed. I Netflixed the Ken Burns “Baseball” Series - all 10 disks - and we have been making our way through it. I think I dreamt about Ty Cobb last night.
I am looking forward to this season - 99 years since the the last Cubs pennant! - but not because I have been following any baseball news or teams. It’s just… it’s just for the feelings it brings up. I like going to games, eating peanuts, making up my own cheers, people-watching. I like just… not DOING anything for a few hours but sitting outside, watching people throw a ball around. I like ballparks, and I am pretty thrilled that I am an hour away from Chicago (and Wrigley Field) by plane.
(And Ellis? If you say anything about Rounders? I swear, I will get on a plane, fly to England and BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH A LOUISVILLE SLUGGER.)
I dunno - I am enjoying the baseball right now. It’s nice to have something to root for.
In other news? I am typing this on Fraction’s old laptop. My computer died. Because God hates me. So, aside from moving the rest of my stuff out from California, finding a new apartment, and paying all my bills, I also need to find the cash for a new machine. Ah, debt - how I do love you.
Seriously - if there were ever a year for the Cubs to win the Series, this would be it. Because I could use the happy. Happy has been in short supply lately. If the small things are going to continue to insist on going wrong, i would like a REALLY BIG THING to go right. Balance, baby.

I love baseball…if you like Ty Cobb and I’m sure Fraction has said something about this movie: rent Cobb with Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Wuhl. Really great movie. Or Eight Men Out about the White Sox scandal of 1919.
Oh yeah, I’m Dave, I read Fraction and Kelly Sue’s blogs and came your way through them.
Good luck with the debt…ah yes, I realize that I’ll be forever in debt as well. Thanks for nothing, college.

You like baseball, huh? I knew you were a person of high caliber, taste, class and style but this confirms it.
If you make it to Southern Cali during the season, odds are I can get you tickets for Angels, Dodgers and/or Padres home games. Serious. The sales department at my company usually has tickets comin’ out their ears.
Lemme know in advance if you or Fraction or KS be coming this way and I’ll do the ground work and send them to you, Laurenn. Serious.
I can also get tickets (generally) for home games for the Giants and the A’s from the Northern Cali operations. All it takes is for some advance notice and me saying “dibs” before someone else does.
By the way, the Padres’ ball park is beautiful.
