I was doing okay this morning, and then this made me cry.
On Junior Seau
I feel compelled to say something about the death of Junior Seau, and I’m not sure why. It’s been on my mind since I heard the news, and I tend to write my way through things like that, but when it comes right down to it, I don’t know what to say.
Junior Seau was a professional football player for almost 20 years, falling squarely in the middle of my life. He didn’t play...

The sunlight is incredible outside, today. People who don’t live in Northern California never really believe me when I tell them that good weather is far less common than not-good weather. Which is not to say that we have much in the way of “bad” weather, just that the climate doesn’t suit me much and people who are from where I am from would feel similarly if they lived...

I don’t tend to do link roundups; I’m not very good at them. I don’t keep up with my RSS reader and if I’ve seen something on Twitter, I just assume the rest of you have as well. I’m also not very focused; a piece of information I’m sure will surprise all of you. And I figure I don’t know how to write a link roundup because there is not a single other...

I’ll figure out how to write about it for real someday, but I love this article. I don’t find the parts about downing Whitney and Chelsea to be all that helpful, because it seems to me that in a...

1995, at some sort of church camp. Which is weird, because I don’t remember which one of my parents encouraged me to go and I certainly can’t figure out why any of them would have encouraged me to go. I don’t remember who I was with or where it was or how long I was there, but I went. The boy I liked barely gave me the time of day, but I was completely in ten-year-old...

Dustin Ackley and Brandan Ryan hit 1/2 homers to start the start of the game and then Ackley hit a 3/4 bomb and their DHs because they had bad defense today and through balls everywhere 3 times but Ryan is one of the Mariners who isn’t a DH like Chone Figgins but he is the Mariners Defender.
