The kind of games people still-talk-about. I'll ask Marc (someday) what on earth they were, and write them down for you. I've even gone to two games in the last two years. As I understand it, attending baseball games is a bonding ritual of kin groups among the Nacirema.mira amirashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372005605076355136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212115997694971585.post-77588825513090026972012-01-18T01:52:25.153-08:002012-01-18T01:52:25.153-08:00Baseball players?

You, Sephardi with Ashkenazi; me Norwegian with German and perhaps Jewish. You, German shepherd and cat; me, labrador retriever and cat.
