I can’t afford to go to the All Star game, but I’m excited about going to Sunday’s Futures game & the Celebrity / Legends Softball games.

Decent Chicago take on a St. Louis visit, though I’m pretty sure hurricanes have calm eyes, not tornados: tr.im/r8L2

I was trying to figure out why none of our Cardinals packages have any upcoming games. Next home game is 11 days away!

Pro-tip: Hit ? in any of the google apps (gmail, calendar) to bring up a lightbox with keyboard shortcuts. I find 1 a day to start using.

On every elevator ride & most plane rides I find myself sizing up the passengers to determine who the hero is & who we have to gang up on.

RIP Bob M. The Fog of War may be my top Mad Ape Den pic of any era. Got any you owe a tip of the hat to?

Thanks, Baltimore. The swimming, rapping, BBQing, fireworking, country-musicking & avenuing were awesome, as usual. Next, you visit us!

I highly recommend buying a season of Top Gear for airplane viewing. (Bonus: no embarrassing sex scenes to hide from neighbor seats.)

OH airport McDonald’s employees: “You hear McNair got killed?” “Yeah, I blame the recession.”

I really hate when you click a deep-linked site URL on your phone and it forwards you to the front page of the mobile version of the site.

Street fired fireworks are the best! Also, the scariest. twitpic.com/9cojb

Got to hear the Baltimore version of the Star Spangled Banners, complete with the big O.

Had a pizza delivered to a BBQ. Is that a faux pas?

Huh: Joe DiMaggio has the 2nd-longest minor-league hitting streak (61 games for the San Francisco Seals in 1933). The record is 69 in 1919.

Spontaneous Michael Jackson dance party post- rap round robin in Baltimore. Attempted moonwalking for 1st time in…24 years?

Is it statistically accurate (so far this year) to say, with the bases loaded and Pujols up, “most of the time he’ll hit a grand slam”?

Bases loaded, Pujols at bat, my Twitter app crashes. I hurriedly load the MLB app & am confused by the score. Then, realization. & cheers.

Swimming in Prettyboy reservoir near Baltimore was awesome…& prohibited! We stayed, despite the death threats: twitpic.com/97lgt

Flight attendant comped us coffee & Bailey’s. You’ll never get that on Delta. #southwestair FTW.

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.
