"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well no. Not really. I resisted.

Attachment 1938

But I was sorely tempted when this guy showed up on my windowsill in the middle of a drenching storm on Saturday.

Sara! You didn't even rig up a shelter or umbrella or something? Bad, bad Sara!

Re "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

He had the overhang from the roof. That's why he chose that spot.

Took him an awful long time to dry off enough to be able to fly again. I was also tempted to offer him a blow dryer, but I didn't think he'd appreciate it all that much.

No, I would have turned on the blow dryer.

Ack! There's a theme developing. This is the view from my fishbowl right now:

Re "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

That's giving me flashbacks. I got grazed in the head by a foul ball last night. Almost knocked some sense into me.

Nope. Didn't catch it. It took a while before I figured out what was going on. Talk about having to be smacked upside the head.


And I wouldn't mind seeing that outside my window. As long as the water stayed on the other side of the glass.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

No I didn't have a foul ball close by. I had 3 of them. Not including batting practice, which is when I had my close encounter. You'll be pleased to know it was a Sox ball that beaned me.

Nah. Just teasing me. Happens all the time. So much so that (after the beaning) I took this picture and made it my wallpaper at work.

Re "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

3 ? And you didn't snag one for me?

What was Chip doing? (Well, maybe I don't want to know)

Oh man, I have never caught a ball at a major league game. I did, however, snag a pretty soft opposite field liner one day when I was sitting behind first base. Caught it with my off-hand just inches from my wife's face. The wife who forgot to duck, that is.

(So it was a Class A game and the kid reached across the plate to lunge at a breaking ball on the outside corner of the plate. Still counts! :P)

Man, I can't believe you didn't snag 1 of the 3 and then take it down to the Sox clubhouse to have it autographed. What kind of friend are you, Yankee-lover?

The kind of friend who opted not to wrestle a total stranger in a pool of beer. Well, I guess he wouldn't have been a total stranger afterwards, huh?
