Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Tournament Championship #2 on the season. Ending the year in grand style! A game ending home run in the semi-final game to push the team into the finals and then a game ending grand slam in the final. For the first time in 5 years of tournaments at this same location every Memorial Day weekend,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, one of the greatest hitting catchers of all time announced his retirement. Mike Piazza. Mi-KEY to me. He started off as an LA Dodger back when I still claimed to be bleeding Dodger Blue. My love of the Dodgers was waning as I had been in San Diego long enough that the Padres were... Continue Reading →
Ok, not this week really since I have done NO baseball updates at all this season. But, today was such a fun baseball day that I have to. First the LL team played, and lost, a 1-0 game. But, it was good because it was so well played that as a fan you had to... Continue Reading →
I'm stealing from my Goodreads reviews 🙂 Here is what I wrote in December after finishing Hillary Clinton's Living History: I am so glad I read this!

Signs of Spring in my house actually started with the... Continue Reading →
First Spring Training game being broadcast on the radio. The sounds of bat on ball. The cheers of the crowd. Even sitting here at my desk in the basement I can smell the grass and cotton candy and hot dogs and feel the sun on my face. Mmmmmmm...life is good!
What is w00t anyway? I don't really know but I've picked it up as some sort of internet term clearly signifying something utterly awesome. A cheer and a congratulations all rolled into one I guess. But, I digress. First, HAH! I remembered my camera! However, I did *not* leave home early enough to pull over... Continue Reading →
I need to take a camera tomorrow to record a gorgeous sight. Recently charred hillsides saturated by rain that are now covered in a lush green carpet of new grass dotted with patches of yellow mustard flowers (told ya February was the yellow flower month here!) I leave that description here because there is a... Continue Reading →
Inspired by Alto2 by way of Amuirin, another blog I will add to my handy dandy google reader, here are my three favorite comics. I limited it to three because searching for specific strips proved daunting and I ended up taking pictures of ones I happen to have cut out to save or else have... Continue Reading →
