Highlights

I try not to watch television, and usually I succeed, but I get distracted by it when I'm in public places. Last night, the three of us had dinner with my brother-in-law, and I was watching (but fortunately not listening to) the Yankee game. Alex Rodriguez seemed to be hit in the face with a pitch, although he actually got his hand in the way. I swear, they showed that at least a dozen times in the next hour. Of course, it's like the big crowds for the movie mogul's funeral because it gave the people what they want. (A-Rod would probably win a poll for the player most fans want to see hit in the face.) But still…
