"Only I wasn't steering anything, not even myself. I just bumped from my hotel to work and to parties and from parties to my hotel and back to work like a numb trolleybus. ... I felt
very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

"On the surface, it sounds irresponsible, but to flourish in a rapidly changing world, you actually need to make more mistakes. Fail quickly. Fail often. If you do something and it
doesn't work, just recover in a hurry and try something else. ... Help develop a culture that is willing to fail its way to the future."
-- Price Pritchett, Culture Shift |

"There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction -- every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and that excitement at about a million miles an hour."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

| The I-70 Series |
| Wednesday, June 17, 2009 |
Today I scored tickets for this Saturday's game against the damnable St. Louis Cardinals, section 140 right next to the dugout, 3:10 start time. Parking pass, too.
Every year, we say the same thing: they ought to eat our lunch. They're currently at .547 and we're at .446, and our W-L records are practically mirror images (that is, we've lost as many as they've won and vice versa). But last year it was even worse than this, and we wound up taking four out of six games from them, including a three-game sweep in St. Louis.
In other words, it's just like MU vs. KU -- the records are what they are, but when we play each other, all bets are off.
