Baseball and dentists

Hell has officially frozen over, because DC finally gets baseball! I never thought it would happen in my lifetime. Not to date myself, but the Senators left the month after I was born. So I never felt like I had a "home team" for real. Hence my loyalties to the Braves during my years at Tuscaloosa. But baseball! I'm reminded of the song from the Hexagon satire show, "We need a team in Washington", including the immortal line "We need a team that lost a hundred games every year?" Hey, they're lugs, but they'd be our lugs! Granted we'll have to make some concessions to Peter Angelos, because his poor Orioles will be so hurt by this. And we have to wait to see if they can approve the stadium, but there's hope.

I had a dentist appointment yesterday to deal with one filling. I hated waiting for the numbing injection to wear off. I have more dental woes coming later.

And the apartment sent me running around to get something signed and notarized today. I'm sure the office was impressed I did it so fast, but it's not like I'm lacking free time. At least by being with friends on Saturday, I missed the fun and games, when someone got very publicly written up for a drunk and disorderly after a party. For once it pays to have a semblance of a social life.

Merck took Vioxx off the market, because a study shows a heightened risk of heart attacks and strokes. For whatever reason, Vioxx never worked on me, so I wound up using Celebrex.
