Back from the Padre game. A tribute to Tony Gwynn and the unveiling of his statue at the ballpark. The first ever sports statue in San Diego history. Oh yeah, I cried! I also had an amazing seat and got some decent shots of things. I'll post those tomorrow. SP and I go tomorrow and... Continue Reading →
Hello Gaslamp Ballers!
I happened to refer to my blog in a comment on the Padres site today and sure enough - the last 6 visitors were from there. So hello my baseball friends. Reveal yourselves if you dare ;->
Photos from the weekend
Baseball and kitties 🙂 Since DS2 is suffering withdrawals from his electronic devices, I was relieved that we won tickets to Saturday night's game while attending a pre-game event on Friday night! Opening Night Friday was our 4th straight at Petco Park. First one against the Rockies and the first one the Padres lost :(... Continue Reading →
TGIF
Phew! I am pooped. Three nights of homework stress. The Open House last night. Combine that with month end deadlines at work, plus trying to work ahead so I can take Tues-Fri off next week. Then combine all THAT with well, you know, that time of the month = WIPE OUT!! It doesn't end either... Continue Reading →
A ridiculous whine
This is ridiculous because the causes of my whinings are all Very Good Things. I should NOT be complaining. However....Why oh why does the beginning of post season baseball have to clash with my very favorite weekend of the year? The August Moms reunion is the light at the of my summer madness tunnel. I...

Now for something completely different
Flowers and baseball! For some reason, the purple dahlias are really taking off. The orange ones weathered the Florida-like heat wave, while the purples looked like they were going to die. They definately stopped growing and blooming and I had to cut back a lot of stalks while the orange went nuts. Now, the orange... Continue Reading →
Golden Falcons 26 – Titans 6
4-0. What a nice start to the Pop Warner season! DS2 had another rushing touchdown. Not a lot of competition again. Their score came with a lot of our rookie kids in on defense. Next weekend though will be The Big One. Against a coach who used to be in our league but then left... Continue Reading →

Baseball weekend
Days 2 and 3 of the weekend were dominated by baseball. DS2s team played in a tournament in Huntington Beach. The schedule had them playing 4 games between 5:15pm Sat night and 11:00am Sunday morning. And being the cheapo that I am, I drove home in between rather than stay at a hotel! Of course,...

Padres sign Piazza!!
We interrupt this regularly scheduled lazy Sunday for the following announcement: Mike is Padre!! Holy shit!! Ok, see..DS2's first word was Mi-KEY. That's because I was a passionate Piazza and Dodger fan from 95-97. I grew up bleeding Dodger blue and was just about to re-focus my attention to the Padres when this amazing catcher...
