Mariners Faltering Not only do the Mariners not have the best record in baseball anymore, but Oakland and Anaheim are pressing to actually take the lead in the division--how irritating! 1:43:16 AM

Good Subscription MP3 Service? According to Joel Spolsky, there's now a pay service with a reasonably attractive menu and an interface better than Naptster's used to be. 1:31:47 AM

In cataloguing Dante's cute antics I'm embarrassed by my riches. Here are two from today regarding Dante's "shushing" me alone: Incident #1: In the car driving, I begin to recite some eminem lyrics for perhaps the 17th time today, "Some vodka that'll jumpstart my heart quicker than a shock/when I get shocked at the hospital by the doctor...", only to be overriden by an insistent "shhhhhh" from the backseat. I glance in the rearview mirror to see Dante's finger to his lips. Incident #2: It's after midnight (don't fret, he gets all the sleep he needs), and Dante and I are cleaning up the disaster of puzzle pieces he created in his bedroom. Since Lani and Steve have just gone to bed, I warn Dante that we need to use our whisper voices. A few minutes later, we're leaving his room and something sparks me to speak out loud--this is a mistake. Dante jumps on me with a fierce "shhhh", finger imperiously to lips. 12:57:56 AM
