Two Goodbyes

One to Trot:


I teared up looking at that picture. I still am.

*sniff* Oh, boy. Anyway, *ahem* ... my second goodbye is to the '06 season. I leave you with the words of former baseball commish Bart Giamatti:
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone."

You need to watch that Tommy Lasorta commercial.

And summer ain't over yet. It's like 95 here today. Yeesh!
