Getting Back on the Road

I just got back from the Baltimore Orioles game, my first at Camden Yards in several years. I had forgotten how close, compared to Dodger Stadium, the fans sit to the field. Even when I sat in the "Dugout Club" field level seats at Dodger Stadium, I didn't feel as involved in the game as I do at Camden Yards. It's much more a city park surrounded by tall buildings, compared to Dodger Stadium's desert crater feel.

Tomorrow I head up to New York on the train. There is wedding planning to be done with Miss Millions, but hopefully some diversions as well.

This morning, at a local bookstore, I saw McSweeney's 13. It's amazing looking. I've got a copy on its way in the mail. Also in book news, Bill Clinton's keynote speech at Book Expo was well-received, and retailers are salivating over the expected sales numbers for his memoir. And for the Brits, check out this awesome deal being offered by The Times. When you buy a copy of the newspaper you get a bestselling paperback for 99 pence. Now that's a great reading initiative. (Better than "One Book, One City" anyway)
