Surprising Sights at the Middle School Career Fair

1. boys with pierced ears
2. a kid who looked just like my cousin Eric F.
3. a kid who looked just like my cousin Taylor K.
4. a kid who looked just like Adam Rich only taller
5. a kid I recognized from when I went last year
6. a "Hood" - I guess since the '80's are back, Hoods are as well. This girl looked straight up Nancy Rouse circa 1986.
   

Meetings at the Animal Shelter

I have to have meetings at the animal shelter as part of my job. Here are a few things I've noticed:

1. There is a constant din of dogs barking.
2. The last time I was there a rooster was crowing and it quieted down all the dogs.
3. There's a lot of discussion of pigs, though they don't get them very often.
4. A little dog named Mojo has attended two of my meetings.
   
5. The meetings really jack up my allergies.
6. If you don't have allergies and you do like cats and/or dogs, you should go adopt one from there right now.
   

Major League Baseball Stadiums

In honor of Yankee Stadium being replaced, here's a list of major league ballparks that T and I have been to:
1. Comiskey Park/US Cellular Field - Chicago White Sox - Go White Sox!
2. Yankee Stadium - stupid Yankees
3. Shea Stadium - Mets
4. Camden Yards - Baltimore Orioles
5. PNC Park - Pittsburgh Pirates
6. Busch Stadium - St. Louis Cardinals
7. Coors Field - Colorado Rockies
8. Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia Phillies - I have been to one more major league ballpark than T has, since I went to this one by myself, which I do not recommend - those Phillies fans are quite rowdy!
