This has been a hectic month, and I need more time to finish some planned posts. So, I’ll fall back on that old crutch of using this blog as a limited journal of a few notable events.
Pizza
Erin and I participated in New Haven’s record-breaking pizza party. We were two of the proud 4,525 people who ate two (small) slices of pizza and drank eight ounces of water in the generous span of fifteen minutes. We then walked around and enjoyed the festival: I tried Sally’s for the first time, had a cannoli, drank some local beer, and received a promotional 10″ pizza box for the effort.
The Onion
I recently subscribed to the paper edition of The Onion. I still maintain my New Haven Register subscription, but considering recent events, supporting an independent comedy venture (that doubles surprisingly well as a base level of news literacy) is important. I’ve adored The Onion since early in high school and am happy to help keep it running.
Cooperstown
I visited Cooperstown this weekend to play baseball with a group of sandlot teams from Connecticut, New York, and New Hampshire. It was idyllic.
I also roamed around the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The exhibits were fantastic, full of details and displays and memorabilia. I was awed by the plaque gallery and enjoyed reading dozens of biographies spanning the last century.
