Ballparks

My first one was Angel Stadium (Home of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim).  I can't remember exactly how old I was.  I think six, but my mom might correct me.  I loved driving (or riding, since I didn't have my license *quite* yet) home under the light of the Halo.  I don't remember how many games I've seen at Angel stadium, but I've been to a handful.  I even saw the Red Sox play there in high school.


My second one was Coors Field (Home of the Colorado Rockies).  I was around 15.  I saw the Rockies play the Cardinals.  My uncle wore an Eckstein shirt in honor of an ex-Angel turned Cardinal.  I caught a t-shirt that soon became a prized possession.  

My third one was Fenway Park (Home of the Boston Red Sox).  I was 20.  I fell in love with the old-time ballpark and their team.  I saw the Sox cream the Mariners and saw Ortiz hit a grand slam.  I saw Ellsbury hit a homer off Pesky's pole in a nail biter. It was a great week for baseball.


Up next is AT&T Park (home of the San Francisco Giants).  I'll be 21.  I purchased the tickets today.  I can't wait to see more MLB.  I fly to San Francisco two weeks from Sunday.

4 stadiums down, 28 to go.

    You can always return for Mormon Night at Fenway (August 4th)!

Best of 2022

 We're only through two months of 2022, but that doesn't mean the good reads have stopped! This year I've read some excellent books. My favorites include: 11/22/63 by Stephen King In an Instant by Suzanne Redfearn You'd Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow Some of these might get bumped off the list before December of this year. What books should I add to my to-read stack?

New Most Embarrassing Moment

Tonight Rob was warming up for his hockey game, so I was home alone. I heard a loud knock at the door, and looked through the peephole to see who it was. I didn't recognize the man, so I just stood there silently and realized that my door wasn't locked. He'd know I was home if he heard me lock the door (which obviously would be horrible). So obviously I just left it unlocked. After he rang the doorbell to no answer, he opened my door. I was pretty proud of how quickly I was able to slam the door shut and turn the deadbolt. I started thinking of the things in the room that would double as a weapon, but then I heard him call out, "It's the maintenance guy." Whoops. At least we'll get a working furnace out of the ordeal.

Today I was Responsible

Went to class, didn't text during a single one. Ate leftovers for lunch with the Mister. Went to my work meeting, and told too many jokes (I'll take 1/2 credit). Finished my resume so I can apply for teaching internships.  What has marriage done to me?
