Dear Science: Analysis

For the first two months of the Album Club, I have absolutely loved the featured albums.  And when I read on Peter’s blog that although he liked the albums, he didn’t love them, I was always a little disappointed.  I wonder if Peter will feel the same way when he reads this review.
So yeah, in case [...]

Champions, And Not Just In Our Eyes

For any of you who believe that my softball career this year has been a failure because the RELLS’ Bells only won one game (ahem, Dad), I have good news.  If you have been reading this blog from the beginning, you may remember that in addition to Team RELLS, I play on another team with my old section-mates [...]

Good Food, Good Company, and Good Softball

Although some of you might not consider a season with only one win a success, us on this year’s RELLS Bells would beg to differ.  We all had a wonderful time this season, and to celebrate our success, Theresa and I organized a BBQ – Softball party.  Perhaps because our team was so popular, perhaps [...]

Bravo Miss California

OK, So I’ve been hearing about this Miss California controversy for days now, and it has upset me enough that I’ve been moved to speak up.  Basically, my problem with the recent media coverage is that it has not given Miss California’s answer the credit it deserves.  Everyone is debating one [...]

Playoffs: Frosted Tips

When it comes to softball playoffs at UVa law, many teams treat the game as Jenga and stack stack stack.  The best players in the league inevitably play on almost every team in the playoffs.  The Frosted Tips were no exception: they had so much of UVa’s top talent that we had about as much chance of [...]

One Busy April

I know that I the frequency of my posting has diminished.  The fact is, in addition to softball and all of the regular affairs that need to be settled at the end of a school year (my last!), Theresa and I have had an extremely full and enjoyable socail life.  Hence, less blogging.  Here are [...]

Game VI: Thundercats

Today, Charlottesville woke up to a soggy morning.  The ground was soaked from a late night rain, which was still in its final stages when I drove Theresa to work.  I was sure that our game this afternoon, the final of the regular season, would be cancelled.  However, the North Grounds Softball Commission insisted that [...]

Game V: Team Mud Night

Today was our first evening game. The forecast predicted a 75% chance of rain, but when 5:00 rolled around, it bright and sunny. So, we took the field against Team Mud Night, which was reported to be another really good team – I know you may be thinking that I say ALL the [...]

Little Dorrit

Theresa and I have really enjoyed watching the first two parts of the BBC/PBS Series, Little Dorrit, based on the lessor-known Dickens Novel.  Not only is it a thoroughly engrossing and addicting mystery that would appeal to fans of “Lost” or “The Da Vinci Code”  (dare I even mention these works in [...]

From My Crash Cache

Last Week My Computer’s Hard Drive Crashed.  Here are a few things I learned from the experience.

If anyone tells you that Macs are indestructible, don’t believe them.
Getting the extending warranty on a laptop, unlike many other products, is a good investment.
Back up your data.
Either that, or go to UVa Law, where we have such a great community that [...]
