baseball and baseboards

"What do you think? Is this a good color?"
Dolores and I were in the Bronx, painting swatches of color on the walls and looking at them in different light, yanking off old baseboards and measuring for kitchen cabinets. Twenty-two floors down, the Yankees were playing. The stadium was full, even in what must have neared 100 degrees.
I liked the colors. Sort of a terra cotta for the kitchen and entryway. A creamy white, a cool, misty greeen.
Picked out cabinets from the Home Depot catalogue and realized I'd forgotten drawers (no, not that kind of drawers, idiot). or a pkace to keep the broom. The painters come on August 8, then the Pergo laminate floors have to go down. Then the moldings, switchplates and etc. "If you were a baseball fan, we'd stay," said Dolores regretfully as we left. She is a baseball fan. For who won, check your sports pages. I don't really care.
