10/7 - THIS DAY IN MARC'S LIFE...

PLAYING OUT OF MY LEAGUE
In personal news, today is mine and Julie's one-year anniversary. Yep, after my perfect bowling form, witty humor, and rugged good looks made her heart swoon when we met a year ago, she didn't stand a chance. As I bowled strike after strike, her knees buckled more and more. She knew she had found the man of her dreams....

Oh man, if only that story were true. In reality, I wore a goofy bowling hat, was totally worried about saying something dumb in front of this girl (a virtual certainty with me) and now I have a quasi-creepy story about how I'm dating (and living with) a girl I met in a bowling alley. It must have been the size-14 bowling shoes. I guarantee it.

How I managed to convince a sponsored Adidas runner/corporate attorney that lived on the beach in Del Mar to go on a date with me is probably a testament to my bowling skills. Her choosing to stick around for a year is beyond me. But I'm not about to start asking questions.

On that note, "Happy Anniversary To Us!"


"DOCTOR NO-NO"
Roy Halladay is not human. Who goes into their very first postseason start, shakes off the nerves of being the staff ace and the pressure to perform, and goes out and pitches a no-hitter?! Oh, and it was his SECOND of the season (after his perfect game earlier this year). So sick. It's not even fair. I love me some Doc Halladay.
