Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Adventures in Baseballing

A coworker came by late in the day yesterday and invited me to the Nats game last night. One of our member companies wasn't using their season seats and they're much better seats than mine, so I figured why not? I probably shouldn't have since I've been very busy at work, have a game tonight as well and have been feeling a bit run down lately. Generally this is the point where my dad uses that tone of voice he has to say "Stop burning the candle at both ends" and I make my argument that I don't have a choice between work and social obligations and he says something along the lines of "no one is going to take care of you but you" and it goes on and on.

So, I went to the game and it was fun. Agie and I got up to tool around, we went to the bathroom, went to the souvenir stand where she bought a hat for her husband (which she wore during the game not taking the stickers off so that he wouldn't know she'd worn it) then to Dominic's to get our Italian sausage which is the best in the world (seriously, if you haven't had one - do it now). We were both excited and hungry, sat down in our seats to grub and then.....I dropped mine. I was like a kid who dropped his ice cream cone. It was very, very sad. After recovering, I asked everyone if they wanted anything since I was getting up again. Hasan said he would get me one while he was gone. He came back with one just the way I like it - no peppers with just yellow mustard - and nothing for himself. What a great guy. Agie and I have decided on a new career - giant foam finger sellers. Just think of how fun it would be to get paid to yell "Get your fingers here! I've got your fingers right here!"

Best quote of the night goes to Hasan. "So, I saw they elected a new Jesus today".
