I've always loved this paragraph that opens "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" by Ernest Hemingway.

"Kilimanjaro is a snow covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai 'Ngàje Ngài,' the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude."

Jamie Moyer, the crafty lefty, is starting for the Mariners today. Go Moyer!

It's good to have baseball on the radio again.
