There once was a man named Posada
Whose presence was rapidly non grata
When he saw he was batting last
He opted out of the lineup fast
And caused a media intifada

[1] I’ve been wondering about you, woman. I thought maybe the aliens abducted you. (And perhaps they still have; maybe they’re friendly captor aliens who allow you sporadic access to the internet just to prove they’re civilized.) Either way, it’s nice to see you.

perhaps fitting that it is supposed to rain the entire blooming week.

i’m very thankful i have the basketball playoffs to focus on and to distract from this yankee slide.
when this team gets in a collective offensive slump it is miserable to watch. seems to happen a handful of times every year the last however many years.
