Baseball, baseball, something else, baseball.

Announcements:
*Katie's day at work was actually pretty good.
*Amanda's day at work was also pretty good, but isn't over yet. She will be going back. But it is with Jack and Kyle, so she doesn't mind at all.
*Katie just celebrated her one year anniversary at CRL and received a card signed by everyone. Tomorrow they will have a group picture in honor of her year dedication to the company.
*Amanda got into the Online English Degree program at the University of Illinois at Springfield. She is happy. She is ecstatic. She loves this news with a crazy amount of overjoyedness.
*The Royals are smashing the Yankees--though this news will be worthless if they lose.

Random Thoughts (that are not actually random but really about baseball):
-We have just seen the new HD screen at Kauffman Stadium.
It is rather huge and a bit much.
I will second that.
There will be no more cute little baseballs when someone gets a walk. I am sad for this. They were almost doing a jig.
-After going to three Twins games this past weekend, Katie has decided that she likes outdoor baseball better than indoor baseball.
Baseball is about the experience, and the experience changes when it is outdoors rather than indoors.
Also, if there is a fly ball and you lose it inside the Metrodome, you cannot turn your head frantically looking for it, or you will never find it. You must choose a point on the roof, and stare there, waiting for the movement of the ball to catch your eye. This is what you must do if there is a fly ball.

Now (Jeremy) we shall change the subject from baseball to something else, forgive us our little indulgences.

Events:
-The writers and the networks have remembered the faces of their fathers, and so Thursday, this very Thursday, in fact, The Office is returning! We will be watching it here, at our house, at 8pm. It will be an Office Reunion. Come and join us.
-A reminder: We are going to the Royals game THIS Friday. Anyone who wants to join us, let us know by Thursday, for we are going to buy our tickets early. Details will be discussed with those who love us enough to join us.
And, we're back to baseball. Oops.

A Review:
We shall now be reviewing the movie Leatherheads. In the tradition of never reviewing a movie that we have both seen, Amanda went to the movies with Juliet, Jeremy, Martha, and Nick without Katie, who was away in Minnesota this weekend.
Katie, what is your opinion of Leatherheads?
Well, I'm worried that it might be the same as that one movie John Krasinski was in. . . License to Wed: a crappy movie I might go see because Jim is in it.
Yes, Katie, you are close to the truth with your thoughts. Leatherheads was a bit of a disappointment. About the time I realized it wasn't really about football, it became about football. The middle was good, and had some funny parts, but the other five hours of film seemed a bit long. I will say, Jim was a dashing distraction.
Also, the VIP room at The Legends is ridiculous, and should be avoided (except for the very cushy arm rests on the chairs) unless you wish to spend lots of unnecessary money on not so great food.
Overall, Leatherheads + VIP at The Legends = waste of money.
But, it also did equal a good time with friends, and for that, I would go back and do it all over again. Though, I might order some candy. Candy is tasty.

That is all for today. Katie is asleep on the couch beside me, taking a mid-evening nap. The Royals are winning. The Yankees are losing. Everything is good in the world.
This time, we really are done talking about baseball. That is, until next time.

Keep voting, we feel we are not done battling this one out. Though, in the end, we may decide that this may never be over officially. Votes are now worth two, as of 4-8-08 at 6:20 pm.

Coming Sometime in the Far Off Future: An end to the story.

The Royals won.
