Saving the World

Recently, fellow Hamilton alumns started "an alumni organization dedicated to environmental responsibility within the Hamilton College community." The group, called Graduates for a Greener Hamilton (GGH), has already gotten the attention of Hamilton's president and has a membership of over 100 young alumns (yes, we're both part of it). For more information on GGH see http://gghamilton.org/ (I would make this an actual link, but I don't know how).

Environmentally Friendly

Teeni, we know you mean well, but I don't think kitties are accepted by the Alexandria Recycling Program...

If April showers bring May flowers...

Then what do April snow storms bring?


This past Saturday we woke up to about half an inch of snow and were a bit suprised that it actually did do what the weatherfolk predicted (although considering that it was 70 degrees in January, we really shouldn't be suprised by any weather here).

Opening Day

**We were able to gain these images through a clandestine source who's identity is a mystery.**

Today was Opening Day for the Washington D.C. Nationals. The season started out well with a strike being thrown for the first pitch (by the Nats); unfortunately it pretty much went downhill from there. The Nats lost 9-2; however, much fun was had by all and it is officially baseball season once again.


First inning. As you can see, the Marlins already have a runner in scoring position (2nd base).


Everyone was given a free Nats hat.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

This past weekend Andy and I headed up to my brother's place in Philly to see the Sox play their last Spring Training game versus the Phillies. As those in Red Sox Nation are already aware, the man of the hour was Daisuke "Dice-K" Matsuzaka, our new 100 million dollar man. The game in Philly marked his first outing in a major league park. Boring to most, thrilling to fanatic Sox fans hungry for an A-list pitching lineup. Dice-K wasn't the only A-lister in attendence, however.


Andrew "El Goon" Magoun. Secret Agent Man and all around good guy.


Katie "KP" Poulin, Michael "Mike" Poulin, and Nate "Poulanium" Poulin. A family of geniuses. What a star-studded event.


Duh. Actually, this sign is ballpark-speak for "You have flipping amazing seats."


Good thing he has a nickname. Spelling/Saying Daisuke Matsuzaka is a real challenge for the kids.


Can you find the ball in this picture?


15 seconds of fame. (Yes, this is a real screenshot from ESPN's Sportcenter broadcast on Sunday morning.)


This totally trumps my iPod's celebrity appearance in Kiplinger's.
