Assignment #1: Write a poem about Baseball and God

And on the ninth day, God
In His infinite playfulness
Grass green grass, sky blue sky,
Separated the infield from the outfield,
Formed a skin of clay,
Assigned bases of safety
On cardinal points of the compass
Circling the mountain of deliverance,
Fashioned a wandering moon
From a horse, a string and a gum tree,
Tempered weapons of ash,
Made gloves from the golden skin of sacrificial bulls,
Set stars alight in the Milky Way,
Divided the descendants of Cain and Abel into contenders,
Declared time out, time in,
stepped back,
And thundered over all of creation:
“Play ball!”

by Philip E. Burnham, Jr. from Housekeeping: Poems Out of the Ordinary

Gorsh, aglaia, you've got me blushing now!
Sure I'll be your friend. I'm honored. :o)

Peace and Laughter!

Finally wandered over to the AltSex community, decided to join. I don't have much time to comment at the moment, I defend my dissertation in June.

You're welcome. I'm sorry your allergies are bothering you! I'm seeing this all over. A lot of people seem to have the sniffles right now. My allergies aren't bothering me right now. I wonder if the longer you're in the bay area the more adopted you'll become to the things that set off your allergies. I hope that's the case for you!

I think from your post on a thread it can be said you're not well. I hope you get better soon!

Definitly friends! I ended up in TX because my husband grew up here. We met in the Army. When he got out we decided that since TX had cheaper living conditions and we would have more family around, this is where we would be. I grew up in Amesbury, MA, heard of it? Don't worry if you haven't, not a lot of people have.

And tell your friend that people don't understand me either.

Hi there, I happen to be a big Red Sox fan, too! Kind of hard to do here in Texas, but I try. Seems we share some of the same books as well. Not to mention we started here on LT within 3 days of each other. Small world I guess. Nice to me you!

Hi,

Thanks for the friends request--I see that we share a number of books and I suspect the number will go up when I finally get the rest of my library entered.

You live in one of my favorite cities--well, I know what the sign at the airport says, I'm not exactly being original in loving it! My brother lives in SF also, so I expect I'll get out there again someday, despite being 3000 miles away at the moment.

Geez, how'd it get to be 4 a.m.? I'm always wondering about things like that . . .

Cheers,
Elizabeth

how is the pricing? (i'm assuming its a used bookstore, but i get in a lot of trouble when i assume!) i hate it when i go to a used store hoping to get a great deal and the books are only about a dollar or so cheaper! thats why i normally just stick with borders...

and yea, my ex was insane! i guess everything happens for a reason though, cuz if we never dated i would never have moved to the city, and i totally love it here!

hi! thanks for the comment, i'm pretty new to LT and everyone seems to know everyone already! i was looking at your fav stores and i've never heard of Dog Eared Books before, so maybe i'll go check it out. i work at borders and get such a good discount that i normally don't go anywhere else, but i do stop into Black Oak Books when i'm in the area. Also nice comic in your pic, one of the top reasons i dumped my ex was because he made fun of how much i read and openly mocks harry potter in front of me just to make me mad.

Hi, aglaia! I want you to know I hadn't signed out of chat - I was stupidly on another tab. You guessed right, I was haunting chat. I hadn't expected anyone to show up, so I was writing letters back to LTers. Hope you're catching your Zzzzs right now! I'll check my e-mail tomorrow. Good night! :)

I'm down with the 5-oclock-somewhere-in-the-world concept :-D

but at the risk of getting all geeky, anytime after 7pm pacific coast time on a friday or saturday would work, because that would be after noon on saturday or sunday for me. You would just have to give me a heads-up in advance if it was likely to happen, because i don't haunt the PC on weekends. Something to file away in your fetching little black purse ;)

most def, we'll have to catch up on chat sometime. I'm cataloging a few things I picked up recently, and stuffing my face, but I dont think I have any energy. plus, I went on a run just now, so I feel like absolute crap. soooo tired! yawn!

I adore k! yes, I hope to shop it up in ny with her, when she comes over in june. hey stop that! two shopaholics like us cant get together in a store! can you imagine all the damage we'd do? lol

posted by suge at 9:28 pm (EST) on Mar 25, 2008

Yo! chica! how are you? sorry I missed you on chat, I haven't really been on lt much lately. I haven't been sleeping very well, I'm exhausted! I have zero energy for Lt when I get home from work :(

So how's things in SF?

Hi! From looking at our list of shared books, it looks like we have a lot of common interests. Thanks for the friend request, and I'll see you around!
