we've been a bit preoccupied with baseball 'round here. the astros are headed to the world series!! i am so excited. you might not know this about me, but i am a closet sports nut. i keep it pretty well hidden, but sometimes i allow myself to get carried away in the thrill of the game - and the series. i shamefully admit that, having had to work 4 of the last 5 games, i have been wearing my walkman radio around the library, one earphone in, wires under my shirt, listening to the great milo hamilton (and my once-favorite astro alan ashby) call the games. i was so swept up in the fervor that i even bought a baseball hat today. i haven't worn a baseball hat since i was 10, if not younger. i wore it around the library tonight, but felt really self-conscious.

well, we did put in for world series tickets, but those are apparently really hard to get. everyone i know entered themselves and at least two relatives into the lottery, and nobody i know won.

go 'stros!!
