Take Me Out To The Ball Game


I've gotten a lot of flack lately cause I haven't posted since June but hey, I've been busy and the Missus has been sharing our travels. But now I have an event to share.

My dear Son (aka "the Buddy") invited me and Grandpa to the local minor league baseball game. For those of you that really know me, you know I ain't much of a sports fan, but I agreed to go since I wanted to do the male bonding thing and heck, it might be a good excuse to quaff a cold one on a Monday nite.

It turned out to be great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the company. The seats were absolutely the best - right behind home plate and about halfway up so you could see all the action. And these seats were in the shade from the get-go and the weather was stellar - low 80's without a cloud in the sky and just a whisper of a breeze.

This is the view from our seats.

And to top it off, the Boise Hawks mascot came by to see us and decided I needed a hug, or maybe my nose picked, I'm not quite sure.


Anyway, I just wanted to share the great time we had and to thank the Buddy for setting this up and making it happen. You rock dude!

Looks like fun...you should have punched the mascot to see what he would have done.

I've heard that if you need your nose picked that my Dad can find something in the garage to fix that. Looks like fun!
