The month ends

from the stands

It was a good capper for having a month off. Last night I went to the game on some tickets that Shawn gave me for my Birthday back in March. They were real good seats. I went with my long time friend from work Tony (also a lover of baseball and a Cardinals fan) to see the BoSox lose again to the Mariners. It was a good game, not a real clean one, a slow one (3.5 hours +) sloppy on the BoSox part, Manny was useless as usual, the starting pitcher for the Mariners - Fernadez stunk up the place as did Mariners13 million $ 1st baseman Sexon who was booed during his three strikeouts. We left at the top of the 8th to beat the sell out crowd to beat the sheep.

This week of my paternity was consumed with voulenteer time at the childcare center painting for the opening of a remodle job they did on a big common space and kitchen. Also Ben contracted a serious stomach flu from a PEPs birthday party last Saturday. It was real bad, liquid from both ends for three days. 4 other kids from PEPs also caught it, 1/2 the daycare center had it yesterday, it is tearing through the town. Lots of poor hygine around.

Today we have another b-day party to hit at 11. First Me ben and digger are going to the eastside to the dog park then the bank then back before the bridges are closed for the Blue Angels at 10:30.

I go back to work on Monday and am looking forward to it.
