Finger broken, posted at 7:59 a.m.
Epiphany in Baltimore has moved to epiphanyinbaltimore.blogspot.com Some recent developments...***
I broke my little finger yesterday in baseball already, and a line shot came right at my chest. practice. At least, I think it's broke. I can barely move it and it hurts like hell. I was standing to the right of the pitcher during a scrimmage of the guys who had pretty much made the team. A line drive was hit right at me. My mind was yelling at me, "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" but my legs didn't listen. The ball took a glancing blow sideways off my left pinky. I laughed it off, but it's not seeming so funny now.

I finally found car insurance that was somewhat reasonable. It's through GEICO (not gecko) and I'm getting it for $150/month. This is much more than I used to pay for my eight-year old car in Michigan, but much less than the $240-$280 everyone else was quoting me. So now I'm insured.

After yesterday's trial, today will be kind of anticlimactic in the classroom. I'll be doing more objective pronoun stuff, we'll do some debriefing on the trial, and a little bit of review for their test on Tuesday.

So, my banner is finally working, and I got 268 page views yesterday. My average before that time was around 60, so that's sort of exciting. Welcome everyone! Sign the guestbook. :)

Berty called last night, and we had our first long conversation in well over a year. I miss her. Amongst our topics of conversation was this little exchange about my being single:
B: So, I'm checking out Internet personals for you, to find an artsy girl with funky glasses.
E: Cool.
B: But I'm not really sure how far away you are from places. How far are you willing to travel?
E: I dunno. Not too far. I'm actually pretty content in my being single right now.
B: But, Epiphany, if you were getting laid, you'd be way beyond content. You'd be like, "Fuck baseball. I'm going have sex. You be better than content. You'd be freaking happy!*
E: Yup. :)
So, Berty is now scouring Internet personals for a suitable woman for me. That could be cool. *berty may not have actually used the word "freaking."

My finger hurts from typing. How am I going to hit grounders today?
