a non-post about playoffs

I love the start of baseball season, because it means the NHL and NBA playoffs are right around the corner.
I’ve noticed that anytime I post about sports, bad things tend to ensue for the team of mention. As such, this is not a post about how well the Wings and Pistons are doing. This time of year is far too serious to risk jinxing either team with a post here on MI Accent.

We’re expecting again. The number of kids in our household is about to double.
They tell us we’re having a girl. That’s pretty much the same thing as a boy, right? Right?!

Capitol quake

For the second time in four months, I have survived another earthquake. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to respond to all of your concerned phone calls and email, but let me once again assure you we’re fine.
Unlike the first one in CA, I was at work in Northern VA for this one, a location where earthquakes don’t exactly happen every day. And even though it registered a whopping 1.8 on the Richter scale (Rachel wasn’t impressed), I definitely heard this one and felt a little something. I’m assuming that’s mostly due to the fact I was only 10 miles or so from the epicenter. It was loud enough that most people at work stood up, looked over the cube walls, and decided to keep doing email.
