Weird, same flight attendants on this STL-Baltimore flight as my Dallas-STL flight yesterday, and one remembered me!

I’m going to petition that it is morally and ethically wrong to have anything scheduled that requires pre-dawn awakening. It’s inhuman.

This Edward Tufte ad’s disappointingly poorly designed: tr.im/qJUT Like it was made by someone who’d only looked at his book covers.

Once again, up far too early. I’m not liking how often I’m having to do this lately. Hello, early birds!

Realized today, at least the last 5 cars purchased by St. Louis Woot employees have been Hondas. I plan to buck the trend.

I love Super-Mario-cloud days.

Watched my team win with a walk-off homer, then switched channels and watched my brother’s team win with a walk-off homer.

Bummed I’m not at the Cards game with @__, but it’s awesome seeing my crazy little nephews & having fun hanging out with their parents.

Surprisingly ended up with several bruised fingers after yesterday’s corkball game. Maybe a batting glove would help?

Pretending I live in Australia again.

“If at all possible” is among the most common wastes of 18 letters I can think of. “I can think of” is among the top for 14 letters.

OH, AT LUNCH ON THE ROOFTOP, RE: INDEPENDENCE DAY - “WE HAD JEFFERSON, WHO WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE? CHURCHILL, I THINK. YEAH, OR KING EDWARD.”

AH, BILLY MAYS’S HEART WAS TOO BIG. MAKES SENSE, ON SEVERAL LEVELS. I HATE HOW “SUDDEN DEATH” SOUNDS, BUT IT’S PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO GO.

In case you haven’t seen it, the Billy Mays ESPN ads are fantastic. Here’s my favorite: tr.im/qapz

Bedtime reading material - working through the logic of the examples in the baseball rule for batting out of turn: tr.im/q7gl

I’m surprised “I wish it had been the Shamwow guy” isn’t a trending topic yet.

Wow, Billy Mays died. I would’ve barely known who it was last year, but I’ve enjoyed Pitchmen & thought about a Woot connection someday.

I have some fear we traded a may-be Danny Haren for a could-be Mark Mulder, but logically this Derosa trade makes sense & seems right.

Pujols hits two home runs, and the MLB TV play of the day is his defensive play. I love it.

Finally saw Star Trek in theater. Thought I’d waited too long. Quite enjoyable. Nokia & Budweiser product placements grated, but survivable.

Did a little garden work, then went to the Loop. Committed to a serious level of A/C for the rest of the day.

Maybe some of the Cardinals’ video prowess is due to FSMW being 1 of 3 team networks with a dead-center outfield camera: tr.im/pZ0X

I want an iPhone app like Shazam, but for bird calls. I hold it up to the tweeting & it IDs and displays the bird.

There needs to be a site that lists all the various parish carnivals each weekend. I need a Scrambler!
