summer.


so, the solstice was 2 days ago.  and today is the 3rd consecutive day of  >90F degree weather.  welcome to summer indeed.

we have scored free tickets from his boss to a phillies game tomorrow.  neither of us have ever been to a professional/MLB baseball game.  come to think of it, i'm not sure i've ever been to a professional sports game period.  all i know is that you're supposed to eat hot dogs and beer, which is ok with me.  as long as the hot dogs aren't full of cancerous chemicals and mystery meat.  100% beef is good.

and hey, the tickets were free, so if we decide baseball sucks as much in person as it does on tv, we can just go home.

technical difficulties.

conversation with barclaycard customer support:
me: your website isn't letting me log in; i keep getting an error page

barclaycard guy: oh i think it's a system upgrade, oh my screen just froze, oh my screen just went black and now i can't see anything

me: so i guess it's a problem on your end, then.
good thing i was just trying to check if the card had been charged for a passport renewal and not trying to pay my bill.

the passport is necessary because we are going to japan in a month and a half for my brother's wedding.  whee?
