The Word B

"It's summer, and enjoying the hot nights of dodgers, Vince Scully, the screen-door open and drinking a beer."
these are the words of my cousin. it is funny to have them verbalized to me (or written) because i was only expressing the desire to return to this, to my wife the other day. living in australia has it's advantages and high points. however, i have found it extremely difficult to give up my american sports and adopt new ones here. although i am in the process of doing exactly that, i would much prefer a baseball game any day.
another reason i think this time of year makes me homesick, is because my body clock is still tuned into the northern hemisphere clock. despite the fact i have lived here for 6 years. it will be 6 years exactly on the 1st of july, this friday. in july i want baseball. in november i want football, and in march i want basketball.
i know i have the option of getting cable television, but i can't afford that in my life. price is a small factor in that equation, rather it is the fact that i would be glued to the sports channel all the time and would never get anything accomplished, such as this blog for example. then what would you all look forward to reading on a regular basis?
