When Kristin came to visit last week and we needed a way to kill a Wednesday afternoon, we ended up at Lichterman Nature Center, where I’m fairly sure I went as a kid on a field trip once. Faaaairly sure. Anyway, being there as an adult is weird. Supposedly it’s how this area of the country would look if not for urban development. I think about those giant lily pad things being everywhere and it seriously freaks my shit out. Of course, those things are legions less scary than kudzu, and that stuff seems to be trying to take over the eastern part of Lichterman, so…

Wednesday night, Kristin hooked us up with some sweet Grizzlies tickets, where we got to see them lose the season opener in style. I’ve never had access to the club level before. There is a swanky bar there where random middle-aged dudes from major American cities will buy you free drinks if they think you’re alone! Apparently! God bless America.

We were sitting directly behind the media area, where I could see that Geoff Calkins both has what looks like painfully bad posture posture and he tweets from Twitter.com and not a Twitter client. I have no idea what either of those things mean. I report, you decide.
