Good day friends and foes alike.
I hope that everyone has had a good couple of days while silence has overtaken this space.
E-ve and I had some great relaxation time as well as some good times out and about.
Wednesday night was the comedy show and it was a barrel of laughs. Debra DiGiovanni was there once again and was funny as per usual.
At the end of the night there was a special guest comedian who had a line that went something like this, “So a guy walks into a bar and sees the girl of his dreams…” He kind of tailed of at that point because he was busy getting down on one knee in front of his girlfriend who was sitting at the front table. The rest, as you may have guessed, included “Will you marry me?” There was a look of shock and awe on the young lady’s face, but she said yes, there was a kiss and we believe that they went home happy.
We also got to meet Julia’s bf on Wednesday. He’s a pretty solid dude. And most importantly he makes her smile, a lot. We’re looking forward to seeing them both again at Julia’s bday Friday.
Thursday was a much needed and enjoyed day of relaxation. There was napping, baseball on TV, more napping, and more TV. Finally E-ve and I watched the Watchmen on Thursday. Thank you to Rogers On Demand for giving us the opportunity. E-ve also got to see one of the best baseball movies of all time on Thursday night as we screened Major League on the old 27 inch TV. The movie is still great even all these years later.
Side note: Big thanks go out to E-ve for a fantastic lunch and dinner of Chinese food from Ho-Lee-Chow! Xoxo
Yesterday was baseball day and I was visibly excited for most of the day. I tend to become a little kid when I know that I’m going to get to go to the ball park. We were there plenty early to walk around the stadium and get some coffee and cookie dough ice cream dots. In fact we were there very early, much earlier than we needed to be, E-ve is a saint for putting up with me in circumstances like these.
We were some of the first in the gates at just after 5:30pm and found our seats in the second row of the 200 level and got to see the Tampa Rays take batting practice. I was even lucky enough to get a bp home run ball. But instead of taking it home I was able to give it to a kid who was at the game with his dad. No matter how much I love being at the ball park and watching the games, the ball park is a place for little kids. It always has been and always will be.
The game was amazing to watch. Roy Halladay was as good last night as I have ever seen him. He sat down 15 Tampa hitters in a row after giving up 2 runs early and ended with 10 strike outs in 9 innings. In the 9th inning with 1 out and 2 strikes on Carl Crawford the crowd started to stand. Doc responded by striking out Crawford we didn’t sit. The next batter hit a hard ground ball to first base that Lyle Overbay made a play on to end the inning. The crowd responded again with a loud cheer, but still didn’t sit. The ovation continued while the team left the field, it kept going while the Rays took the field, Roy was shown on the JumboTron twice during the break and each time the crowd roared. It may have been the longest ovation that I have ever been a part of. I can’t lie, I’m a big geek and was a little choked up (or more) during the whole thing. If that was good-bye to Roy Halladay in a Blue Jays uniform, I’ll be happy to say that I was there.
Best wishes to E-ve for a late wake up time today. Also hoping that sweet dreams accompany that sleep.
The day has started here at work. Hell’s Kitchen is currently running on the computer beside us and a pre-release screening of Green Lantern: First Flight is planned for a little bit later. I’m excited about that too!
Today’s post has gotten long, because there’s a lot to catch up on… I hope that everyone has stuck around.
I hope that everyone has a great day.
Like wham!
