Worth getting up for in May: Carolina baseball’s Senior Day; sweeping a series to end the season; Superchunk at the Cradle; Dustin Ackley playing Double-A baseball in the NC; the Hold Steady’s Heaven Is Whenever and American Aquarium’s Small Town Hymns; live Old Ceremony shows; Iron Man 2 and weekend binges of superhero movies on DVD; cheese and beer; Farscape re-watches; nice publicists in New York City who send me CDs; bands from Athens with pedal steel players; boys with banjos; long conversations about photography, art, and what it means to live in the real world; Johnny Gallagher, courtesy my wonderful Lana; podcast binges; my Flickr gallery of unexpected baseball shots; new Rick Riordan kids’ series, and old Rick Riordan mystery novels.
May wasn’t a bad month but I’m looking forward to June.
