Ah, how I love Sidenote Saturdays. It brings me great joy to blabber about the many non-baseball topics that live in my brain - believe it or not, baseball is not always at the top of the my list of thoughts! All week as I pondered random things I kept exclaiming (in my brain, that is, lest you think I am crazier than I am [and I am crazy, there is no denying that; see the towels story below as one minor example] and say such things aloud) "I've got to put that in my Sidenote Saturday!" Of course, I've forgotten most of them, but here are the ones I remember.
-----------------------------------

I am going to be on TV in April - a sports show that will air throughout LA county. Details forthcoming.
-----------------------------------

I Know Joe Morgan has a knack for saying the darndest things, but I kinda like him. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.
-----------------------------------

The YCD is doing much better and is recovering from his surgery quite nicely. He should be out of the hospital sometime this week, just in time for the season to start rolling.
-----------------------------------

When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a farmer. Anytime the age-old question "what do you want to be when you grow up?" was posed my answer would invariably come back "a farmer!" I think it was the idea of having a sweet barn in which to jump in piles of hay that was so attractive. And goats.
-----------------------------------

This week in Mexico some very wise youngsters starting some riots against emo kids. As a punk rock chick, this brings a little grin to my face.
-----------------------------------

Until a couple years ago, I had an extreme and irrational hatred of towels. The texture literally made my stomach churn. So much did I hate them, in fact, that the YCM made me some non-terry cloth bath towels to use. I am still not a fan of towels, but I'm able to use them like a normal person now. Yes, I have problems.
-----------------------------------

The recent "scandal" surrounding Obama and his nutso pastor is beyond pointless. Holding someone accountable for another's idiocy is idiotic and unfair. Let's go ahead and blame Romney for the lunacy that is Mormonism while we're at it.
-----------------------------------

I hate Nirvana with a fiery passion unrivaled by my dislike for any other artist/group. The Dave Matthews Band is up there, too.
-----------------------------------

Alrighty, that's it for today. I'll be posting a lot more this weekend - I must at least try to get caught up on my 2008 Season Previews. Time is running out!
