Went to the game today. Os scored 8 and barely held on...but they did. And, I didn't melt, although that was touch and go for a while. And it's only June.

I swear the Os have to score at least 20 runs to win these days.

Honestly, no wine pairs well with any yogurt. The deal is to eat the yogurt, drink some water, then start on the chips (regular tortilla chips) before you pick up the wine. I'm drinking a lovely rose, which pairs well with chips. Mr ebk had already eaten by the time I got home. So I do what I'm capable of doing when he isn't cooking for me - eating what's easily available. I'm adaptable. Tonight I went to a work social event and had some fabulous local beers. Fortunately, there was some wonderful roasted chicken waiting for me when I got home.

I was always told that "high tea" was more of a meal and "afternoon tea" was scones and crustless cucumber sandwiches. Not that you can't fill up on scones and tiny sandwiches, but that's allegedly more refined. When I was in London lo these many years ago, it was billed as "afternoon tea." There's a place in Baltimore, Bertha's (home of the bumper sticker "Eat Bertha's Mussels"), that serves "high tea". It really is a meal. On topic, dinner tonight was lemon yogurt and chips. And wine, of course.

I was at that game. It was the last game of the season on our plan and we left the next day to drive to Kansas City, St Louis and... I think Pittsburgh, stopping in Louisville on the way to see the Bat Factory. As we were leaving the game, I wanted to write down the seats I was considering trying to move to the next season, so I did it on the back of my ticket, which I put somewhere. We were listening to the game the next day on the radio and Cal wasn't playing. And as much as I looked, I could never find that ticket to save (even though I think I have all of the millions of other games I've been to). Mark McGwire did not hit the record breaking home run while we were in St Louis either. But we still had a good time. (and as I'm writing this, something about that timeline feels wrong, but this is my story and I'm sticking to it!)

You're not a dick because of that. If you're trying to find reasons to talk yourself out of going, don't go. I will say that sometimes the thought of the driving and parking and the expense of the beer/food and dealing with all the stupid people who are there make me want to stay home forever. But once I'm there, there's nowhere else I'd rather be. Even if the team sucks. Really.

It's the first time in years it's gone overtime. I don't think CBS would stand for anything else.

Agree! It wasn't the best Tony show ever, but an enjoyable evening. The Emmys it is!! I'll have more wine by then.

Patti! I thought Kevin did a great job.

There he is - President Underwood! And the First Lady! And great Bette shade!!

Bless her heart. You can't shut her up.

Glad I got tickets to this already... I love Bette. Shit...what did she say??

That's a nice dress Glenn is wearing.

I don't think I've ever seen him before. He's a putz.

Stephen!! Nicely done.

I think he mentioned it earlier. He did plug Clarence Darrow at Forest Hills though. I guess that counts. ETA: Arthur Ashe, not Forest Hills. I'm really old. Dr. Biden in a lovely dress.

5 6 7 8 limp. hahahahaha

I'm laughing more than I should be at this food thing.

Grant Thornton. Not PWC Ha!

This show is such a wonderful experience! And it's working much better here that it did on the Today Show.

I feel like this show has been on so long that I'll probably get through the entire bottle of wine...

I also want to see it. I do have to say that the camera work on that number made me dizzy. Not fun...

ooooooo.....nice win for Rebecca and Indecent!! Also love Rebecca's dress!

I love Allison Janney! And I love her dress!! And of course I love Christopher Jackson.

Leslie and Cynthia - kinda of a waste of 2 great talents. We need more!!
