Baseball Game

I'm not the biggest baseball fan that walks the earth. I'm probably not even in the top 500,000 just to be really honest, but our friends Michael and Tina called the other day and said they had tickets to a Mariners game and I knew Waymond would want to go.

So, we met our friends at the Tacoma Dome bus station and caught the bus to SafeCo field for the game. Our bus ride was great. We walked a few blocks to the stadium and then found our seats. We had the best seats I've ever sat in. I'm not even kidding. We were 8 rows up from the field. We were chatting before the game started and the players were stretching on the field just yards from us and I asked Waymond if any of those guys were famous and he said that I've seen all of them on billboards! It's completely lost on me, but we had a great time.

I feel bad that a bigger fan couldn't sit in the seat we did, but I did have a great time. Two guys broke their bats. The bad news was we lost 10-1. Unfortunately we went to the game before the bench clearing brawl. I would have loved to be on the 8th row for that game! Maybe next year!

Pineapple first

I picked out my very first fresh pineapple at the grocery store the other day and we had it tonight with our fish tacos and it was really good! My friend Malena taught me how to pick a ripe pineapple. Malena is from Mexico where everything is fresh. I learned that the leaves at the very top should put out easily and then you know the pineapple is ripe. I tried it on a few before we found one that worked. Thanks Malena. We had some good pineapple this evening!!!
