Rain

I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.

~Shel Silverstein

Best Week Ever

I want to be Ichiro!

So your team, which has been struggling the last few seasons, is now well over .500 going into the all-star break. You are leading both leagues with 128 hits, batting .355 with 39 RBIs, and 23 stolen bases. You get some time off and a red-carpet welcome to the All-Star game in one of the greatest ballparks (SF). Then you are named All-Star MVP because you hit the first ever in-the-park HR of your career not to mention the first in All-Star game history. Then you come home to take the first game of your next home series and sign a $90 million 5 year contract. Not a bad week's work.

Oh yeah, and he's on my fantasy team. So, I kinda am.

Calling all browncoats

What are you calling an accent?

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

Precious Medals

Race weekend again...This time with a new team. Seriously, a brand new recreational women's team under an established club, but 7 out of 20 had never raced on these boats before and we'd only been together as a team for a little over a week. We're so new that we took a spot in the mixed division because it was too late to switch to the women's only.

We went in with these goals:
1. run the best races we can and beat our own times
2. see how those times match up with the women's division
3. bond

How'd we do?
1. Our times were 2:21, 2:18, 2:16, and 2:18
2. We would have won the lower women's division hands down and would have been 5th in the top women's division
2.5 WE TOOK THIRD in the lower mixed division (beating teams with 10 men!)
3. We all left the day saying "I love you, man!" and meaning it!

Besides the hardware, coach came through with his promise of cool t-shirts and beer.
Talk about a great weekend!
