I bought a book last night that I’m kind of excited about. I bought it at about half-past midnight, actually. And I stood in a line with a bunch of other people, many of whom were small children (but many weren’t so small) to get it. I’m talking, of course, about Harry Potter #7. I haven’t opened it yet (other than to put my name in), but I fully intend to begin reading as soon as I can.

The Mariners have been pretty exciting recently. They’ve stayed over .500 (no small feat considering their recent history), re-signed the most exciting player in baseball (that is to say, Ichiro!), and had a run of clutch pitching and hitting. I’ve really enjoyed watching them play. The other day, as we watched the game, Josh remarked that there was a chance that we would want to save some money for playoff tickets. I immediately thought he meant for seeing the Brewers, who are in pretty good shape to make the postseason for the first time in 25 years.*

Before we go gallavanting off on another fine trip, I thought I’d better put down some recollections of our lovely time in San Francisco. Then you can come back later for stuff about our upcoming time in Indiana and Cincinnati and not get confused. Because, you know, they are so much alike and all.
We spent several days in the City by the Bay and were really lucky when it came to the weather. It was mostly nice and sunny the entire time we were there. We could see the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, which, considering how often it gets foggy there is no mean feat. It was really a lot of fun. We did all the incredibly tourist-y things; rode the Cable Cars, walked through Chinatown, ate seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf and ice cream sundaes at Ghirardelli Square (yes, that is spelled correctly), visited Golden Gate Park and Cliff House, drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and took a tour of Alcatraz. The last was way cool.

On Sunday, I went with Alisha to see the newest Harry Potter movie, “Order of the Phoenix.” Overall impression: it had some good bits and some bad bits. I’m glad I went to see it, but it wasn’t life-changing. Read more…

We were gone on vacation for a week, but now we’ve come back (and just in time to find that my last post didn’t actually post when I wanted it to. It has now been fixed)
So that’s the reason for our silence, but rest assured we’ll have plenty to talk about in the next few days.
