You know how they say books are usually better than the movies that are made out of them? Well, I recently read “The Natural”, and I can tell you that in some cases, the movie is better. This is one of them. A few years back during the baseball offseason, I took it upon myself […]

Personal – Worth the Wait
This morning there are a lot of tired, “sick”, hungover and deliriously happy Cubs fans. In case you didn’t hear, after 108 years, their team is baseball champion once again. There were many fans who were born and died without ever having known a championship team, including my Grandfather. And with a sport where there […]
Sports – MLB Postseason
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Not only because it’s finally cool enough out that I can wear tights with my dresses, but it’s time for baseball playoffs. And for the third time in five seasons, my beloved Nationals will be there. So let’s go back in time and remember what happened. The […]

The Nationals […]

Sports – Nationals vs Twins, 4.23.2016
It’s nice to be back into baseball season, but to not feel too pressured this year. With the new house, I’ve decided that the number of “extra” games I go to this year will be at a minimum, not only because I could be using my dollars for home stuff, but because I have a […]
Sports – Nationals Opening Day
Note: I’m using personal photos of me and my Dad. I haven’t asked him about being on the blog, but then again, I haven’t really told him about this blog either. Unfortunately for me, he’s integral to most of the photos of myself that I would want to post, so instead of rocking the boat […]
