It rained here for much of yesterday. Desert rain might be one of the few things I miss when I leave this place eventually.

Horace Fogel was a sportswriter who became manager of the New York Giants in 1902. His time as Giants manager is best remembered for his attempt to move Christy Mathewson to first base. He was fired 41 games into the season and replaced by Heinie Smith, who put an end to such nonsense. Instead, he tried to move Mathewson to shortstop.

March 1, 2014: Leaving
The toughest thing about living in this complex is that it seems to be a short stop for people on their way up. My daughters have made a lot of great friends only to have them move out of the apartments, with very little warning, to actual houses or larger apartments. Today the best friend they've made here is leaving and for the first time, they'll be left with no close friends here after having times when there were ten or fifteen girls running around together. Someday Skim and Sour Cream will be the ones to disappoint some kids around here, and that makes me sad, too.

Back to live videos. It loses something in video form, but I was actually at a concert to see this performance, and it blew me away. The rising platforms were just awesome. That and I like the dual male and female vocals.
