As many of your know, Keds is in LA this week keeping a friend company while her husband is at Science Camp. So that's left me on my own this week.
So what am I doing to fill my time? It's not like Keds left me with a laundry-list of "honey-do's." Don't get me wrong - there were a couple of things like get the sheets out of the dryer, water the plants and make sure the guest room is ready for the housekeeper. But that's about it.
No, rather, I've been spending my time watching baseball, the History Channel and playing Civ. Opening Day was Monday, and the A's played their home opener last night and I'm watching the second game this afternoon. I'm catching up on some of my History Channel programs I've recorded.
I've also worked on closing out a few business-related items, since I won't be around during the work day anymore to work on some of these thing. Plus, the casita is a disaster and I need to clean that up too. I am working with a local activist to establish a Democratic Club in this part of town. I need to get the by-laws written. The goal is to serve the needs to those north of Cheyenne or Craig Rd. on both sides of Decatur. We just need a name. And a logo.
Oh well. Enough of that for now. The A's game is on. Hopefully they can salvage a split with the Red Sox.

Gotta love the life of a temporary bachelor! I say enjoy the week doing all those fabulous things you're doing. I could use a few days like that...
Ken,
I'm a casual A's fan too. Not a hugle MLB guy, but I did grow up in Oaktown and remember several live games with my dad at the Oakland/Alameda County Coliseum Complex (it's real name, prior to umpteen re-monnikerings) before that monstrous monument to Al was build on the side. Tony Armas, Dwayne Murphy, and yes... Ricky!
Haven't followed the team much lately. Hope they actually make the playoffs
Lora - Thanks. Maybe you could send Karl to some Autmotive Conference or the like...
Matt - Games at the Coliseum are the best. It's still one of the best values in baseball. They just opened up a new section in the 3rd deck that is all you can eat for $35. That, and the BART station is way convenient. The stadium is actually pretty crappy and "Mount Davis" killed any character. I'm not sure about the playoffs, but I think if the team can stay healthy they have enough young talent to stay in most games, win some close ones and be relatively entertaining. That is, if any of the apathetic Oakland fans can show up...
