Consider standing up yourself. Or if you prefer a more sedentary activity, try the opera.<br /><br />Please feel free to call me a midwestern rube, Mr or Ms DC Native.

Oops, sorry. I should be kind to the Nationals fans, as their team doesn't exactly resemble a major league team, but rather a Reds Old-Timers team...<br /><br />-Gary M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21666786.post-12425782704419704022009-06-11T14:08:55.768-04:002009-06-11T14:08:55.768-04:00See?
