Sadly, We Are Alive

After a bit of a layoff, Alec and I have returned for some more pithy sarcasm (Alec) and relatively useless and somewhat bemused ramblings (me) that we shoot off into the great wide internet where no one is listening. Coincidentally, it's baseball season again- in fact, my favorite part of it, but I'll get to that in a different post.

From where I last left off, I actually did finish my road trip- attended a game in all 30 major league stadiums in a single summer- and managed to get four minor league ones and the Hall of Fame in to boot. 17,446 miles later, my car was on death's doorstep, I had gained ten pounds, taken a few years off my life and about 9,000 photographs, and lived the dream over 40 states and 84 days. After living essentially detached from all reality for three months, coming back to the real world of academic demands and imminent career choices was a little jarring- but I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

Now that I've settled back into the (relatively) real world, (aka still in the college bubble but on my way out) it's time to get back to what I do best- talk about baseball. Even if Alec insists I have never spoken an even mildly amusing word in my life, I'll still be here, if for no other reason than to give Alec a chance to rip on me so he can feel that he has some tiny sense of self-worth.
