PrintI'm stuck at a conference right now (I get to hear Jant Reno speak tomorrow, I'm pumped about that) so let's post pictures of ourselves ON THE INTERNETS.
I've seen what some of you freaks look like but it's always amusing to connect a face to a name.
Here's me in my STATS LAIR (A Marriot). Currently waiting for my next presentation.
Feel free to make fun of my face.

This is me at Shea last summer
I look exactly the same except I am now bearded. My access to up-to-date pictures is sorely limited @work.
Tentatively adopting Dan Ortmeier. And Boom Goes the Dynamite.
It was actually an hilarious game
This mets fan behind me bought the foam finger for the sole purpose of f’ing with me. The two girls sitting next to me and my bud proceeded to ridicule him for his Yankees cap and me for my giants cap, but we ended up having beers together, etc.
It was also the first game post Boonitez, which was nice, even though the giants got dominated

VERY COOL!
Locally (the Central Valley), we have a wonderful place called Project Survival’s Cat Haven. I’ve been taking my family there since not long after it opened about 10 years ago. I’ve never gotten to hold any of their cats, but I have been within about a foot of Ivan, the Siberian Lynx (when he was about a year old)
and… recently, I was at the Twilight Tour (their primary fundraising event), and they brought out Cous Cous on a leash. It was exciting to within a couple of feet of this adorable lion cub.
I highly recommend a visit to anyone that lives in (or is visiting) the Fresno area. It’s only about 45 miles from Fresno in the small foothills town of Dunlop. You travel right by The Cat Haven if you are driving up to the Kings Canyon or Sequoia National Parks (also highly recommended) on Hwy 180.
Oops, I misspelled "Dunlap"
And, I forgot to mention that they have a 17 year old bobcat named Rufus. Here’s a recent Fresno Bee article about The Cat Haven.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing the photos! They look so cuddly even though they can tear off my face and eat it.

Ours is more of a multi-year plan. We’ve got 11 under our belt so far and probably done for the year. We buy a shot glass at each ball park as a souvenir. Our priority next year is both Chicago parks and maybe Seattle.
The big dilema is whether you have to visit the new ballpark if you’ve visited the old one previously. RFK has been replaced and next year Shea and Yankee will be replaced.
Adoptive father of howtheyscored. The beatings will begin momentarily.
I’ve been to old and new Comisky, and walked away PISSED at what they had done. I wish I hadn’t ever gone to the Cell after that.
When you go to Wrigley, walk up the ramp with your eyes averted from the field. Then when you get to the top, close your eyes, take in the smell and the sounds. And THEN open your eyes. It will take your breath away. My first sight of that yard is one of the memories I will always have. It was that spectacular.
Incidentally, do those shirts still exist? I was wanting to get a new t-shirt the other day, and tried to find a link to those, but no luck. Sad.
On hiatus for now...
...the quality was absolute crap. One or two washes, and then fffffft. Plus, if anyone purchased a shirt in the past 18 months, I wasn’t informed, so I lost all confidence with the vendor. I’m torn on finding a new vendor or just opening up a CafePress shop of crap. At least there you’ll know it’s going to be crap.

Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
A local record store used to get demos and advance cassettes from all over, and they had no idea what to do with them. They’d let me dig through the box and take whatever I wanted for a buck. Most of them were duds (Mind Bomb! Season to Risk! Amygdala!), but one was an advance cassette of Kyuss’ “Wretch”, and I toted that thing around like a teddy bear my sophomore year in high school. Everyone has bands that they think of as “their” bands because they saw them in a high school gym in Duluth, etc…. Kyuss is mine.
One of my all-time great feats of oration was successfully explaining to my mom why a 15-year-old kid should be able to see Faith No More/Kyuss on a school night during finals week. If I could have bottled whatever I was selling that night…man.

(I wish I had a better pic, but this is the only one that I have at work)
We had her for 14 years, until we finally had to say "good bye" a couple of years ago. She was my favorite dog ever. Your Choco reminds me of her. Ours also thought that she was a lap dog, even when she was full grown (65-70 lbs.). Labs are the greatest…
great looking dog
They are the BEST dogs in the world. Mine is the same way. He has convinced himself he is a lap dog even though he pushes 80 lbs.
I can’t imagine a dog that has a better makeup than a Chocolate Lab. Get mine (vito is his name) near water and he will swim until he drowns.

Seeing this, I got a swelled head for like two seconds (“I’m somebody!”) until I saw the caption described me as an actor.
