No, no, get your minds out of the gutter. Jeez...
The 2010 Major League Baseball season is Half Over. The National League won the All Star Game for the first time since 1996. And for the first time since the game counts for anything. (Winning league gets home field advantage in the World Series, since 2003, due to fans getting madder than wet hens when the 2002 game was allowed to end in a tie so prima donna ball players wouldn't have to ...what?...finish the danged game!? Heck yeah we were mad. Jeez!)
But that's not why I was lucky.
No, it's because I only watched an Inning-and-a-Half of the game, but I got to see the NL score all 3 runs with a bases loaded double in the 7th inning. Double hit by Brian McCann (now nicknamed McCann-Do!) and third run scored by Marlon Byrd, my favorite Cubbie, who ran so fast from first to home that there wasn't much of a play at home.
He really is my favorite Cubbie this year. Though I like all of the men in blue, win or lose, of course. I'm no Half-Baked fan.
So what else was I doing during the other Seven-and-a-Half innings of the game? I was NOT watching Two and a Half Men, although it would be kind of Half-Heartedly funny if I had been. No, indeedy, I was watching more of the Boston Legal episodes that my parents have lent to me. And eating hummus on sesame crackers. And picking up the vegetables from Henry's CSA, which this week included fennel.
Attention parents: I am almost done with these DVDs! Are there more? Do you want seasons 3 and 4 as gifts so I can borrow them? (What a Half-Assed offer THAT was...Jeez).
I have no idea what I'm gonna do with the fennel. I didn't know it existed outside of the jars of seeds that someone once told me are really good on top of homemade pizza. I tried it, it's true! But a whole...fennel plant? I have Half-a-Mind to look in the recipes that Henry's sister sends online when they give us these weird plants.
Or some would just say I have half-a-mind.
Good day, and I hope you all get lucky today, too!

I have the last season on DVD when you are ready if you want to borrow it. Or maybe it is just the last half of the last season? Anyway, let me know when you are ready for it and I'll start hunting around for it. I also have all seasons of Sex and the City.
Ack, I have season 4, not the last season (which is 5). Do you need 4?
Well, sure, I'll take any Boston Legal you want to give. I LOVE it even if it is SICK most of the time.
Wait till you see Season 2. I think it should really be classified as Porn. ANYWAY...glad you are enjoying them and we have more of Season 2 here when we come up in Sept. Unless you JUST cannot wait. I might get it in the mail as Educational Material - ya think?
I, P-Dub, found that The Game was being played last night just down the Freeway from me, here in Anaheim! I thought of you, and had a fleeting thought about sharing the experience with you by watching - but I am such a Not-Sports-Fan that I only glanced at it and gave you a wave before turning the channel to "HawthoRNe", the Jada Pincket Smith series.
P.S. My mind was not in the gutter but I was hoping you got lucky the old fashioned way, especially since I am NOT a NL fan. I hope you will tell us if/when you did get lucky! Maybe not in your blog tho, hehe.
Shred the fennel and shred some apples and you have a fancy slaw that they serve on top of scallops and polenta at Medici!
Mom,
Since I'm not getting lucky these days, porn WOULD be educational material. But I have ordered the last 3 disks from season 2 on Netflix. So I will get them in unmarked red envelopes, very discreet.
Maybe you need a gift for Grandparents Day!
Well, no gift for Grandparents day, PLEASE. Just a hug from two grandkids will be fine.
(Mc)Can(n) Do, Mom!
