baseball: usa national collegiate team vs. south korea, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty four. Our Bulls mini-plan has turned out to be full of delightful surprises; trading the tickets on nights we don’t want to use them — I say, “Could you get us something near the visitor’s bullpen, on an aisle?” and the nice…

holy ghost tent revival @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’m listening to my 4&5 star songs playlist on my iPod lately, on shuffle — and this afternoon on the way home, it threw up a slice of my teenage years. 4 Non-Blondes’ “What’s Going On” followed by Dog’s Eye View’s “Everything Falls…
