Harriet Miers gives herself the nod as the Bushies's next Supreme Court nominee after sizing up her own experience as White House Counsel, Assistant Chief of Staff for Policy, and past personal lawyer for Dubya. So she's got experience with corporate malfeasance and drug statutes, one would assume. No experience as a judge, not nearly as skilled in obfuscation as Roberts, and from what I've seen her taste in fashion is lodged firmly in Dallas blue-haired Talbot's bunk. Be afraid people. Be very afraid.
On a very different note, Maya's first swim lesson on Saturday went, well, swimmingly. She and about 15 other youngins (up to age 2) were joined in the pool by a parent. Practically everyone else except us had other family there ringing the pool with camcorders and digital cameras - I felt like Tara Reid with a boob out given the amount of flashes going off around me. Just prior to heading up to class, I got a call from a friend who had an extra ticket to the Giants game - fourth row, crazy good seats from the sound of it at the always lovely SBC Park. But life is very different now and I had to pass without objection in favor of singing "The Wheels on the Bus" while splashing around with a bunch of strangers (huge thanks for the offer go out to Scott, nonetheless). Maya's pretty fearless in the pool, even though we're not exactly expected to launch her off the high dive at this point in her swimming life. If nothing else, a half hour in the pool tired those lit'l cuties out big time. One little boy fell asleep on the locker room floor while his Dad and I chatted about our breeding success. Expect more updates on our little dolphin in the weeks ahead. Maya also got some top quality time this weekend with her Aunts Becca and Katie. Maya goes to them as comfortably and eagerly as Conservatives go to an NRA fundraiser. Having them in this timezone will surely be fun for all of us in the months ahead.
So the New Brew Crew finished the season with two losses, but finish at 81-81. As I've been saying for quite some time, this is a team that excites me. For once, I'm really looking forward to next year - something I'm always jealous of hearing baseball fans from other parts of the country saying after a decent season. And to have something to hold onto from this past season I put a bid on and won a team set of this year's baseball cards on eBay. It cost me a whopping $1, plus shipping and handling. Not exactly Hall of Fame prices. But it just may be the best investment I've made in years. Rock on.
