A Serenity Prayer Tigers Fans by Jen

Here's this. I think it's a good time for it. 

A Serenity Prayer For Jill, And All Tigers Fans by Jen.

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

Like when pitchers get injured playing Wii sports

or the price of a hot dog at the CoPa;

courage to change the things I can,

by throwing out statistics from last season

to silence the naysayers this season.

Living one game at a time;

Enjoying one inning at a time;

Accepting losses and trades as the pathway to a better team eventually;

Taking, as Leyland did, this floundering team

as it was, not as we would have it;

Trusting that he will make all things right

while wearing his mirrored shades;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

even if they don't make it to the World Series

and supremely happy in the next season.

Play ball, Amen"

This One Time at the LIE-BARY.

Mom and I went to the lie-bary, (no Forny, sorry guys) The check out lady called me by name, and i said. "it would have been creepy that you guys knew my name, but i know it's up on the computer."
Laughter. (of course.)
One of the other ladies noticed my shirt, saying "Nice sweatshirt, Go Tigers" and i showed her that i had checked out a book about Ernie Harwell, and how he would have LOVED to see this season. *sigh*

The lady told me she liked my braids, i replied that my hair was so long i couldn't think of another way to do it. Maybe in a Princess Leia way. *showing an example, she said she wanted to grow her hair as long as mine. I replied maybe I'll cut mine like yours. (really really short) and Mom said, "No." which i replied, "Maybe i'll get a Beatles haircut."

Mom was cool with the Beatles haircut idea. I'm not sure i want it that short.

On the way out the lady was like, "Nice to meet you Jill" and i was taken aback, but replied "You too and thanks"

Mom asked if i knew that lady, and i replied, "No, people tend to bond over the Tigers when they are doing well."

True Story.
