My dad just told me that if the Dodgers hit a grand slam in the fourth inning of tomorrow's game, I'll win an iPhone! He says the odds are about 320 to 1. I like those odds!!

P.S. I didn't win.

Wicked!!

Last night my family and I went to see the musical Wicked. I would definitely recommend Wicked, even to someone who doesn't like musicals. I liked how everything was so Steam Punkish.
