Sometimes You're Glad They Don't Really Know Everything.

Me: So, J's mom said that her hamster just had babies. She wanted to know if anyone wanted some, but I said we couldn't take one because our cats would probably eat it.

EDSP: Yeah, we were talking about that yesterday. J said that she thought her hamsters were both boys but then she saw one of them sitting on top of the other one so she wasn't sure anymore. Then she thinks they were fighting or something but then about a week later one of them got really fat.

"Sitting on" each other. Gotta love it.

Maybe next year it can be Gabe Kapler out there shakin' it in his skivvies...

Guilty Pleasure

I have to admit, I've seen Garth Brooks live three times, at least. And I'm not even a big country music fan.

This is sort of old news...

...but I'm happy to hear it, even though I never made it to a Greenville game this past summer.

From mlb.com:
When outfielder Gabe Kapler announced his retirement at the age of 31 last winter and became a Minor League manager, it was only logical to wonder if he might get the itch to play again.

Consider the itch real, as Kapler, after managing Boston's low Class A Greenville affiliate this season, has informed the Red Sox of his desire to resume his playing career in 2008.

So Was This Worth the 9-Hour Round Trip?

Why yes, it was :)

Old enough to be his...babysitter.
