sunshine part 2

i forgot to mention that at the bbq we ate 2 large steaks, 4 porkchops, and some chicken with a little greek salad between 4 people. i'm still kinda feeling the effects.
also i discovered last night that sarah cuts to the hoop pretty well, and has good hands to receive passes. doesn't finish so well in the paint though, and ya gotta tell her when she's on offense and defense in a half court game. she's plucky, just prone to losing track of the game due to overwhelming fits of laughter and hilarity. i should also mention that she shows a good appreciation and knowledge of the finer points of the rules of basketball.

also at the baseball game, potentially awkward time was averted by a good long discussion about what music would be played as our theme music when we're stepping into the batter's box. (peter, my old boss, is a really great guy, just kinda quiet and we might need some practice making conversation outside of work). anyway, baseball theme music - i couldn't narrow it down very well. here are some of my ideas though
"black steel" as covered by tricky (and maxine quaye)
'sweet leaf' by sabbath
'back in black'
'good times bad times' by zeppelin
'run to the hills' by iron maiden
'follow your heart' by triumph
'alive' by pearl jam
'final countdown' by europe
'welcome to the jungle' by gnr
'i'm a cowboy' by kid rock, although 'bah wit de bah'(spelling?) also works well
i'd wanna do 'let's get it on' but i'm not sure it sets teh right tone
also i couldn't come up with any good country that would work
probably 'welcome to the terrordome' or 'shut 'em down' or even 'bring the noise' by public enemy would also be good
i remember this song from high school that we used to play for the wrestling team warmup called 'sword in the stone' but i don't remember who it was by.

maybe if i was injured but sacrificing for the team to pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth, with the bases loaded, two out, and down by 3 or 4 runs, then i'd like 'brothers in arms' by dire straits to be played as i limp/drag my hurting body slowly and painfully up to the plate. peter thinks this scenario would work better if i was a bullpen pitcher coming into the game, while i got my warmup pitches
