A Thumbs-Up Week

Last week I spent more time with the digital camera than I have in a while. It was nice to have the opportunity to take pictures again and to be excited about trying to capture a shot. I was worried that my interest in photography was beginning to waneand that I would have to buy a new one to remedy it. Anyway, as I was looking through the extra pictures, I realized that it was a pretty good week: lots of time with Veronika, Caravan milestones, signs of spring and my first Mets game. I also realized that I cannot seem to have my picture taken without throwing a corny thumb up. Sorry about that. It was a week worthy of the gesture though so I thought I'd put it out there. Three days into a cold from Veronika, this week isn't looking as good.

On the baseball front, worry not--the Brewers will always be my team, but I'm becoming interested in supporting the Mets because they're the New York team that's not the universally loathed Yankees. The only thing keeping me from fully supporting them is that Mike Piazza's mustached mug is still their public face. It didn't help that in the two games I watched this weekend, he went 0-for-8 and left sixteen runners on base. He's the Sammy Sosa of catchers: past his prime, still getting the big contracts for his numbers from years past, and a sure strikeout/double-play in clutch situations. But I will not let Mike Piazza talk overshadow my week.
