    Can we go back to discussing how insane it will be to see Mark McGwire in the dugout again?

    rickankielsmustache:

    Do they still make hats in that large a size?

    McGwire’s first day on the job:

    Player: Hey coach, I’m having trouble pulling the ball to right when I get a change-up.

    Mac: Bet I can hit this ball over those mountains.

    Aaaand, scene.

    If you want to read something terrible.

    (via reflect)

    Unusual gifts for men include books for the thinking man! The complete short stories of Ernest Hemingway are very popular with young and old, although sometimes it’s hard to see why they like them so much! (They are a smidgeon depressing!)

    Great opening paragraph, or greatest opening paragraph? (!)

    alldirections: Aaron, we found the Hello Kitty store. Which toilet seat do you want for the party? That one looks great. Although, the one with the laundry bucket (or whatever that is up there) looks great, too.

In the past calendar year I have:
Finished my Doctorate
Found a College Teaching Job
Moved across the Country
Seen the birth of my little girl
Turned 30.

Seemed like a good time to start writing stuff down.
