he war

this is a piece by anne taintor. holy frig she's funny. i really love her work. i went to minotaur and bought a box of 30 postcards by her to send to-out-of town friends/family. i'm excited about that. when i was there i was telling beckie how much i like her work and how in ottawa i saw a whole "coffee-table book" by her. and she told me they can special order it in for me. yay!! i did find this website.

today rhonda, isaac and i had a barbeque. it was awesome!! i kept thinking "i can't believe its march and we're bbqing - nice". it was really fun. al had given isaac the ball and glove from his sermon, so we played catch after lunch. it was neat, i felt like i'd taught him how to catch. i know that seems silly, but there are things we take for granted as grown-ups and forget we learned them at somepoint and they weren't just enate. like for example, i showed him how to close over the glove with his other hand when he caught the ball. i told him that sometime i'll bring my glove over and we can play a proper game of catch. i also tried to explain to him that baseball players stick their index finger out the back so they don't break it and so on. he didn't seem interested in that, but after all my years of baseball i instinctively keep out my finger when i slide on my glove. but i can understand how it seems strange at first. i remember thinking "if you're supposed to keep out your finger they why do they have a slot for it?" i don't know, they just do.

i love that we sang "wonderwall" at church today. i've been listening to the cat power cover a lot recently. i love that song. in a way i think of oasis as my guilty pleasure.

you're gonna be the one that saves me.
