Personal and Professional Musings
As I sit in my new pad watching the ridiculousness that is the Real Housewives of Atlanta (it’s like a trainwreck from which I cannot look away) I begin to feel my apartment shake a little. Just a slight little tremor. Immediately, my California brain looks for the nearest hanging light fixture to confirm the…
I was sitting at a bar on Saturday night (I live in New Orleans now, remember?) and was watching the various sporting events that were being televised when a very large man at the end of the bar heard that I had just moved here from CA. We began a lively discussion about the dialects…
My new apartment is off of Hickory, which is the street which one would turn onto from Dickory, which is also the street of which Dock is an off-shoot. It is next to Mouse Lane. I find that amusing. What I do not find amusing is my apartment. It isn’t exactly what one would call…
That is the mapquested distance from my old house to my new house and I made it. I didn’t have to drive it (luckily) but I’m here in Naw’lins, which is pretty much the only way to pronounce/spell it. I’m pleased to have the internet (for a brief, flickering moment in time) while my computer…

Angels Stadium (Los Angels Angels of Anaheim): TBD To be fair, I got a chance to visit this stadium for work and so I didn’t have a chance to actually go through my checklist of criteria and see how it stacked up. I got to watch the game from a suite, was on the field…
Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City, Field of The Dreams, and Milwaukee Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers): 7.5 I flew into Detroit and took in a Tigers game on a Friday night. Let’s just say that the bar was set pretty high for the first night. Our tickets were club level, in an area that…
New Comiskey Park (Chicago White Sox): 6 I will always refer to the White Sox home as Comiskey not US Cellular Field, just like Candlestick is not Monster Park or whatever else they may think to call it. That field is fabulous. We had awesome seats on the first base side of the dish and…
PacBell Park (San Francisco Giants): 8 Not only is this my home turf, but they have Kruk and Kuip which totally boosts them. The atmosphere is always pretty good, but parking sucks. The outside has some good photo ops with the Willie Mays Plaza and the selection of food is vast. However, I’m over garlic…
