Root, Root, Root for the Home Team!

Back in 1984, I went to my first and only Cubs game in Chicago. They played the Astros, and later that year we found out we were moving to Houston. Tonight? Tonight I’ll be sitting in Section 306, Row 5 at MinuteMaid Park (click on the section number on the map and you can see the view from my seat) watching the Astros play the Cubs. I’ll be rooting for my home team, but I’ll be thinking of Dawn, my favorite Cubs fan, at the same time. Really, I don’t care who wins – I just love going to the baseball game!

Watch the Moblog for live shots from the field! Maybe I’ll get lucky and catch a fly ball! (As long as I don’t get hit in the head with one!) The day is ending a lot better than it started!

“Take Me Out to the Ballgame” lyrics found here – everyone sing along!

Boston Bingo!

Soon I will be traveling. Seeing new places and new faces. While I’m in Boston, I think I just might play some “Hipster Bingo” and I´m also going to try BBq bingo, I think you should try it too, I hear it’s all the rage! Click the card for the large version. [via bitter-girl.com, where I stole the graphic. Originally found at Catbirdseat.]

I’m not sure if it was the “chunky plastic-frame glasses” or the “blogger with digital camera” that hooked me. I can’t stop giggling over it, and I think I can get Bingo within a day or two.

Office Observations…

My observations after a very long day at work:

:: I can use a Marks-A-Lot marker to dial my phone. This requires far less effort than dialing with my hand because I don’t have to reach quite so far.

:: All people that use “Thx” for “Thanks” in business e-mails should be bitch-slapped. Leave the abbreviations in the chat room or on IM – it doesn’t belong in work e-mail. (Note: None of my co-workers did this. It was in documents I was producing for a case.)

:: Having a celebration for a co-worker’s birthday is a good thing. We had food from Chick-Fil-A for lunch, and a birthday cake to go with it. Yummm…

:: Any crisis you can think of is guaranteed to take place while the secretary takes a day off. Documents will be lost, things will be going crazy, it will be a madhouse. When the secretary returns (thank goodness she’ll be back tomorrow!) you should always remember to thank her for the peace and sanity she brings to the world.

One Week to Boston!

In one week, we will be on the plane heading for Boston. When I told Jason that Boston is slightly north of New York City, he asked me if there will be snow there. I certainly hope not! Not in August!

I am (finally) sending out the Evites for the “H-Town meets Beantown” gathering tonight. One problem though … my list of guests is over 20 people long. Does anyone have a suggestion of somewhere in the Harvard Square area that could handle a group that large on a Friday night? (6pm – come when you can, leave when you want…)

If you haven’t spoken up already, let me know if you want an Evite too!
