Que nos quiten lo bailao
Just wanted to throw a change-up here. I’ve been interviewed for my company’s newsletter, because I run a photo contest at Keysight, where employees submit their photographs and monthly winners are crowned. They asked me about the contest, about my roots in photography and in the end I was asked to pick some of the ...

Susan Collins is concerned Because survival is insufficient

Cross Words 350

Hey peeps! Back in June I started solving NYT Crossword puzzles. It’s often really hard for me — except for baseball trivia that everyone else bitches about — because, you know – not my language, not my country and so on. But it’s also a great fun. Such great fun that I actually got into ...

Back to Africa: Tanzania & Uganda (Photos, lots) 47

I just came back from Africa and, as always, it was a trip that will leave everlasting memories. It was basically fourfold and I’d like to share all four parts with those of you who have decent Internet connection as it is somewhat image heavy. First part was Amani Children’s Home. Some five years ago I ...

Game 24 - The Anniversary Thread
On this day in 1901, the A’s played their first game in the AL, losing to Senators 5-1. Also on this day in 1931: At Washington’s Griffith Stadium, a walk to Lyn Lary is followed by a Lou Gehrig home run, a smash which clears the fence, but bounces back into the hands of center ...

Barton vs. Callaspo vs. left-handed pitching 61

This started as a comment, but given that I get paid a whole cabbage for every post and only a leaf for a comment, here we are. Hopefully needless to say, I don’t have a horse in this race. While I really like Barton the player, he has to get some negative points for thinking ...
