They started the demolition of Busch Stadium today. Apparently it was a bit anticlimatic since not much of the actual wrecking could be seen. It was decided that the stadium couldn't be imploded for safety reasons. It would have been spectacular. Ah well. Better safe than sorry.

I'll miss the old beast, even if I didn't really spend much time there. It was just such a quintessential part of St. Louis, and soon it will be gone. But out with the old, in with the new, etc, etc.

I wore my "I write books" pin (courtesy of the folks at NaNo) and no one noticed...until I was walking down the hall to deliver the tracers for the study tomorrow, and who did I encounter but one of the fellow StL NaNo'ers. Small world, innit?

did you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle
or have you ever have the sense
that we were lying just a little
i mean come on
its not like we knew ourselves that long
