Surprise!

Well, after literally months of preparation and subterfuge, my brother is in town for his 30th birthday and I'm taking him to New York. He came to Portland thinking we'd be going to Seattle or something. The highlight of the schedule is a Mets/Yankees game... something that I'll sit through, but that my brother will see as the be-all end-all. Entries will be sporadic for the next week or so, as a result. (Although I might be able to add something here or there from my phone. So if you see entries like "U R not going to believe this...", you'll know why.
