If you have access to Costco, they have bedding and all of the sheet sets come with 4 pillow cases. And they're quire reasonably priced. And to whomever mentioned Wegmans and pre-weighing produce - we have Wegman's here and I've never come across that option. My peeve is that our state liquor laws are so backwards, Wegman's can't sell wine. Which is just sad...

Doubleheader. First game into extra innings... the 8th. The 8th inning is NOT extra, dammit.

Not if it's bundled with the cable and the cable goes out. Which annoys me no end. We kept the land line for just this situation - if the power is out, or the cell service drops - but that isn't the case anymore. Still, we're keeping the landline since family/friends have the number, even though we use the cell phones more than 90% of the time.

Yes

No fire station across the street that I'm aware of. There was a school across the street where they did parking - blocked-in parking, so you couldn't leave in the middle of the game. It was...interesting. There was another school off to the side about a block away where my mom taught before I was a gleam in anyone's eye. In other words, in the stone age. Camden Yards was the first of the new "old style" ballparks in the city, not the 'burbs. And they did a really great job with it. Although, Janet Marie Smith, the architect from HOK, had all of the seats facing the warehouse instead of the pitchers mound. Because the warehouse was so fabulous and who would want to actually watch the game. So for the first couple of years, if you were sitting down the lines in the lower deck, you needed a chiropractor before the All-Star Game. They have since fixed the angle of the seats.

Waves back!! (retroactively...) I've had a partial plan since the first year they offered them - 1984. My seats at Memorial were upstairs between home and first base, about halfway up. My seats at Camden Yards are upstairs behind home plate, about halfway up. That took some getting used to (the way I followed the ball was different), but I've come to love my seats. Also, they're always in the shade which is very helpful in the summer. The first few years, I wasn't crazy about the Park because it was always sold out with people who didn't really care about the game. But that's changed since you have to care about the game to bother coming out to see this team 🙂 Anyway, I've come to love the place, although Memorial Stadium will always hold a special place in my heart. 29 years. Yikes.

I was there on the first Opening Day and was shocked when I read that it was 29 years ago. Where does the time go... And yeah, Memorial Stadium was a dump, but it was OUR dump, dammit! I loved that place. I was just reminiscing the other day about parking in the 'hood. I don't know why that popped into my head, but it did. It was always an adventure.

Okay, so maybe I should just buy wine now and not bother to save for the WS... 🙂

Break up the Os!!!! I'm saving up for my World Series tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And also on Morning Edition Sunday talking about the new album ...which I just bought. It should show up tomorrow. It's wonderful and you can listen to it on Jon's YouTube channel.

Open was fabulous. Monologue is going really well, too. This makes me worry about the rest of the show 🙂

I love Buck. I'd go with A.

Opening Day - happening now! Hope springs eternal...or at least for another 20 minutes or so.

Os get rain, Nats get Covid. Hmmmmmmmmmmm... No local baseball happening here today. Ah well. An inauspicious start to the season.

Happy Opening Day indeed! Or, maybe I should say Happy April Fools Day... Ah well, at least the Os won't be in last place for one more day. That's... something ...

I liked Update and the last sketch. Otherwise, there was nothing I enjoyed this week at all. And I love Maya, so I'm really disappointed.

I recorded the Tom Lehrer show when it was on here...because it's so good, and I can fast-forward through the breaks.

As long as Patti is coming back, it will remain on my "I think I want to see this" list.

I eat a banana every morning. I find when I commute, they're the easiest fruit to eat while driving. Ideally, I like a 3.5, but will definitely eat a 5. My only banana issue is they go so quickly from a 3 to a 6 that I can't buy too many at a time and have to keep going to the store. It's a rough life... 😉

Yay Terps! For once, they didn't fall totally apart in the second half, like in all the other games I sorta watched this season.

Backup teams were deadlined out as of this past Tuesday. After that, it's a forfeit. I guess they didn't want to make 4 teams travel "just in case."

Thanks for the company everyone. For a moment, I was afraid I'd be chatting with myself all evening.

11:30ish, give or take a decade or so...

Who is that woman standing in front of the Zoom screen wearing half of a coat? Because... half of a coat??

This! I was irrationally happy to see actual tap dancing!!
