today is monday 10 january 2004.

it's official. shawn green is no longer a dodger. this stinks. but worse if i had named a dog shawn green. then i'd have to rename the dog.

which makes me laugh--no wonder the shawn green jerseys were such a big sell during Christmas. so where the beltre ones.

for the record--the only impact dodgers from last year that remain are bradley, izturis, gagne, od perez, weaver, and ishii. everyone one else is gone. don't get a 2004 dodger calender--most of those guys aren't dodgers anymore.

reading hadji's blogs scares me. yes, we do get older, but no i haven't resorted to diet coke. or sugarless coffee. actually there was a time in life when i used to drink coffee black--but heartburn was not worth the claim to manliness.

amahl and the night visitors--love this operetta. the line on friday that made me scream . . . amahl is singing, "there are not two kings outside, the kings are three, and one of them is very tall!" i laughed.

did i mention the meatloaf incident on the plane over Christmas? i'm on the san fran to honolulu flight--i'm sitting on the last row next to the window. they've got choices for a meal--pasta or meatloaf. but on the last row, they run out of meatloaf. greivous.
