Astro's and Pixies

These are my two excitements for the day. In about 15 minutes, game four of the NLCS will start, and with Roy Oswalt on the mound, I think our chances are pretty good at pulling even with the Cards for the series. Of course, after today, we're screwed, but oh well. I'd be absolutely pumped to go to the world series, but the Cards are a pretty good team. And with our pathetic little bullpen, I just don't know. And if we win? Uh oh, those Yankees are pretty good, too.

Tonight, Trey and I are going to see the Pixies. I'm psyched; I haven't gone to a show--a big one--in ages, and I love the Pixies. Just the thought of four old, fat farts rocking out with their amazing songs makes me giddy. Rock and roll is not just for the young; it can grow old as gracefully (or pathetically) as its practitioners.

Here's the photo for the day:

Zoey's new thing is throwing a bunch of her stuffed toys into the laundry basket and climbing in with them. They all just hang out together for awhile, like in a little clubhouse. She talks, they listen politely. It's very sweet.
