False alarm. All systems are go. Proceed with your regularly scheduled happy fun time.

Lightning bugs. Tons of ‘em. Scads and scads. In my yard, right now. I can’t remember the last time I saw one. I don’t even remember how they do that thing with the light on their butts — I must have learned it sometime in science class, right? And [...]
And no, not for Godot

I’ve been very single-minded these last couple of weeks, repeatedly pacing up and down the same worn-down furrow in the metaphorical rug, chewing the inside of my cheek, muttering inapplicable slogans, laughing spasmodically in the car…
I’m doing naught but waiting, waiting… for Resolution, for The Word, for the Test Results.
And when it’s [...]
Rain-out

We should’ve gone to the Cape League game. They didn’t get rained out.
It’s Matt’s day off today, and we had joyful plans and schemes for watching the Yankees/Mets game tonight, but no. It’s been rained out. After only an hour of rain. Sigh.
The last time I was at Yankee Stadium, it [...]

The last few nights I’ve woken up in the middle of these great, epic chase-scene dreams. Consistently, I’m playing the role of the hero of a murder mystery-type story, and elude my nefarious pursuers by using my superior knowledge of the local landscape. Things like where one can hide halfway out the jetty [...]

Open letter to Michael Kay (TV play-by-play announcer for the Yankees):
OK. First of all, you’re dreamy. You’re also very protective of your privacy, so i have no idea if you’re coupled or not, but I have to imagine you are. What a catch. (oooh what a catch! a pretty play!) [...]

Must be some kind of weird weather front moving through, because I keep getting up before noon and doing stuff. Odd, but I’ll go with it.
Today I decided I wanted to follow up yesterday’s surprisingly strenuous hike by walking the two miles of the nearby beach, so I put my walkin’ shoes on and [...]

And what about this:
my major contribution to the set construction for Sleeping Beauty has been the sewing of about 5 billion red felt roses, soon to be followed by the making of many many papier mache thorns.
So about 15 hours into this project, I start getting all cross-eyed and delirious, so natch I [...]

I guess, like cleaning out an attic or shed, when undertaking even the most modest of home improvement projects, you have to make it look like hell before you can make it look good. Our house looked like ass for a few days, while we got a new roof put on, but now it’s [...]

From the time I was in 7th grade until he moved away in 10th, I had an everlasting crush on this kid named Gaje. He was quirky, funny: he always made us laugh in that grim fastness of a middle school.
I remember his talent for rewriting/satirizing song lyrics: In the art room, as [...]
