The 4th of July

Having a "holiday" mid-week has really thrown my sense of time off just a bit. Wednesday felt like a Friday...then yesterday really felt like a Saturday and today (Saturday) feels like a...Saturday?? Anyhow...it's been nice to have some days off, even mid week.

Me and the fam went up to Cincy to watch the Red legs play the San Fran Giants...I was really hoping to get a chance to watch Barry Bonds yank one out of the park. He didn't even play that day...said he had sore legs.

It was a good game...we had decent seats as you can see. The new ballpark really doesn't have a bad seat in the place. It was a combo of sunny/overcast throughout the day. Hollybird got ROASTED by the sun...

About the 8th inning you could see some rain clouds rolling in...Then all of a sudden, WHOOSH!!! I hadn't seen it rain that hard in a long time and to come on so quickly. We stuck around during the rain delay, but ended up leaving before play started back...the Reds lost...again! According to the scoreboard the "highlight" of the game was the Reds grounds crew trying to get the rain tarp on the field before it got really flooded...it was a hoot to watch. Pretty sad for your team when that was the highlight of the game!

I've been a Reds fan all my life and will continue to be one...good times and the bad. He at least they've won a recent World Series (1990) unlike the Chicago Cubs (1908!) That's for you Geron!

"Roasted" doesn't even begin to cover it! How is it that I sat between you and Bryan, and I am a lobster, yet you all have nothing??? What's up with that? It's just another reason why I prefer the snow and ice! Come one winter....
