Long days at the ballyard. The games are usually over between 4 and 4:30, however, being a deck supervisor, I cannot leave until all my stands and concessions check out correctly. Allow me to digress and tell you why it takes two hours after the game until I can leave. First of all, there are [...]
My absence has been due to the work hours of the past few days. Spring training is winding to a close and we’ve had capacity crowds with the Cubs, Giants, and Brewers all bringing standing room only crowds. We leave the RV at eight in the morning and our return isn’t until seven o’ clcock [...]
The Arizona weather has been sublime to date. Mostly in the high 70s and low 80s. The locals speak of the excessive precip this winter and I’m amazed as we’ve only seen a few days of rain in our six week stay here. Just as soon as voiced wonderment regarding how fortunate they are, the [...]
Jay and Chris had been staying with us for the last few days and its been like a pajama party every night. We stay up late and laugh, imbibing and stuffing our pie holes along the way. It’s four adolescents in adult bodies. We’re going to pay dearly for the decadence of caloric intake. But [...]
We have been very fortunate to have our best friends from “back home”, visit us this week. In fact, Jay and Christine flew all the way in from Pittsburgh so we feel a bit honored. We hadn’t seen them since November but it was like a beat was never missed. They had a long flight [...]
Posts have been limited these past two weeks. Server changes have caused inactivity for many of those days. Long and busy work days, spending time with friends, and a head and chest cold reinforce the remaining hiatus. All is well now and if you’ve bookmarked this site, that won’t work any longer. You have to [...]
Crack!!! The sound is distinct, resonating in its own uniqueness. When the rawhide ball ricochets off the well swung Louisville Slugger. You know it immediately. There is no sound like it. It makes my eyes turn toward the field, regardless of my whereabouts. Spring training is in full swing here in the Cactus league. The [...]
I am still alive. Many of you have wondered why I haven’t posted in over a week. And then if you went to this site the past few days it was gone. To make a long story short, the domain, or host server, or almighty powerful Hal had to be changed. Perhaps you understand this [...]
In case you just tuned in, we started a five week stint working for the California Angels during spring training, which is known as the Cactus League here in Arizona. We’re in the food business again as Robin is a “stand lead” and I’m working as a deck supervisor. She is in charge of nine [...]
We tried to get in as much sightseeing with Erin prior to her heading back to the wintry Carolinas. After having a wonderful time at the Goldfield ghost town we drove through the Apache Trail for some miles until the ladies started to get a little nauseated from the switchbacks. I’ll make another trip back [...]
