mktye's remarks made me think of a couple of things (and, no, I still haven't figured out the quote business--I'll have to buy Rocks another drink and get him in a headlock, I think): If any of you read Tom Boswell's weekly WP online baseball chat, you would know that a whole lot of folk are complaining about the PA system and the LOUDNESS and all the unnecessary music. He promises to talk to the powers-that-be about that. AND NOW SOMETHING FOR ALL OF YOU: Years ago, I think we were at the 7-11 when somebody was "dressing" a Big Bite, Craig dubbed that stuff that you pump out on your dog or "nachos" as EVOTS--Extra Viscous Orange Topping Substance. By using this acronym, you can avoid misusing the prefectly good word, "Cheese." You're welcome.

Going to see the Nats on Monday or Tuesday isn't possible for me. HOWEVER, I learned something in the last few days that some of us might want to note: on September 11, the Nats will be playing at RFK and it is also the first home game for the Deadskins. There should be a lot of Nats tickets available. I told Craig that I wanted to go the Nats game that day, since avoiding football in most instances has become a goal of mine. Using the Metro should be an interesting proposition. (Note: I was since my youth a football fanatic. Moving here ruined that for me. Instead I discovered baseball, a much better alternative.) Please keep me in mind, the next time somebody here wants to go. DID ANYBODY SEE TODAY'S GAME??? GO NATS!!!! Barbara
