More kindness in the last 48 hours, and more thanks are in order.

First, to the Dodgers, who on Saturday treated all of Team Pudu to an entire box right behind third base, practically on the field.

"Practically on the field" isn’t hyperbole. Just a few years ago, before these new seats were added, our rumps would have actually been in foul ground in the field of play. When Alex Gonzalez hit a 3-run homer in the first, you could even hear the third baseman grunt his disapproval.

So, a big thanks to Ellen and the kind folks at Dodger town.

On Sunday, Team Pudu also found ourselves all tuxed up and wandering into the Emmys, right there on the red carpet like the big kids. (Sorry for the subpar pics here; only cellphone cameras were allowed in.)

This was hardly an exclusive gig; there were almost as many people at the Shrine Auditorium as had been at Dodger Stadium the day before. Still, the TV business is often described as being about the size of a large high school; if so, then the Emmys are the big high school talent show, but with lots of actual talent bounding around, only a fraction of which gets televised. Rest assured: conversation with people who write ripping dialogue for a living is a pretty good time.

Favorite moment: the surprise Tony Bennett mini-concert in the middle of the Governor’s Ball. I mean, I’m just standing there, catching up with some people, and hey, that’s Tony Bennett!

Awesome fun weekend in puduland. Many thanks to all involved.
