She usually ensconces herself in something else while I watch maseball … such was watching the oven do nothing, looking at paint, etc. It’s somehow more interesting to her than baseball. Color me confused. But then I don’t get all excited about Powerpuff Girls or whatever current outfits the Backstreet Boys are wearing. De gustibus non est disputandem. ---

It was evidently quite a spectacular sight … ---
