Sharing some blog love

For the next two weeks, the SITS ladies are having a Spring Fling to help blog journalists like myself become better with design and networking. I signed up last week for this Fling. Unfortunately, I neglected to check my email yesterday, so the event started already and I’m playing catch-up. First I caught up by [...]

what–more books?!?!

Once again, it’s the subject of books that brings me back to my blog. I’d declare this blog a book zone, but no…it’s too much like Seinfeld and I like it that way. He-he Anyway, there are major book events happening at the moment that have called to me. First, April 8-12 is National Library [...]

Another season opens!

It’s the start of another season! [Major League] Baseball, of course. Opening Day is today, Monday, April 6th, and hopes are high for another interesting year, maybe without a steroid dabacle even. Dare we dream? Indeed, it’s the stuff the Houston Astros are made of…dreams (for we have little else at the moment, but who [...]

One small step forward

Dear Astros, Has my last letter to you actually done some good? The dear Houston baseball team scraped together a win today. Though, they still lose the series. *grumble, groan* But, it’s a step. Let’s hope those ballplayers don’t fall up the stairs [again]. *chants to self* Must keep believing…must keep believing. View a Random Slice *narrator’s [...]

R-I-P Astros

Dear Astros, I’m writing your obituary today, much like the Houston Chronicle did that one year, in efforts that maybe you’ll wake the heck up and start living up to the potential and hopes you talk about day after day. I realize all teams have their ups and downs, and without the likes of the [...]

O is for O-O-O-Oreo cookie

O is also for…the wizard of Os!!! (pronounced Oh’s) Of course, current Texas baseball enthusiasts should know I’m referring to Roy Oswalt of the Houston Astros, whom received his first win of the season tonight in a 2-1 win against the Philadelphia Phillies! Alleluia, it’s about time. In other letters news, my site of the [...]

Weekend Poetry – Gossip Edition

Hello there! It’s time to see how the Weekend Wordsmith has inspired me. This week, the writing prompt is a picture of two people telling a secret to one another. Basketball is hot, hot, hot today in Houston, thanks to our team on a winning streak. So, I’ve written a little haiku in honor of [...]

Take me out the ball game

The smell of Astroturf is in the slightly chilled Spring air! It’s time once again to check in with my favorite minor league baseball player,  pitcher Adam Cowart. When we last left him, he had just helped the San Jose Giants (Single A advanced minor league team of the SF Giants organization) win the California [...]

Blog Party Across the WWW

**Beep, beep, beep** We break from our regular programming here at Slices From the Pear Lady to P-A-R-T-Y! Yes, that’s right It’s once again time to dust off your boots, grab a glass of whatever (might I suggest some of this lovely margarita, or for those “driving by” a Dr Pepper), a dish of ice [...]

Hopping Around The WWW

Well,  I don’t know about you, but I’m a pooped puppy today. I’m not sure why. I can only guess that when I’m working (on personal projects or on-the-job, etc.), I must be putting in 100% into the activity. That’s good and bad, for it causes me to do a sort of crash-recharge time. Anyway, [...]
