another day off

well, we lost to the mets 3-2 in a close and exciting game. though the miscues could inspire anger, i'll allow the good pitching and one-run loss to inspire hope for the rest of the season. it's too early to be angry when it's so exciting to just have baseball back for real.

the get-together was fun with my pastor reid, my friend peter, and his friend john all showing up around 1pm for the nats game. my friend kasey had to work and showed up around 4pm for his dodgers' game. we had pizza and cheesesticks from papa johns (including "the kong" an extra large pizza with pepperoni and italian sausage - mmmm...), a bunch of ale 8-1 to drink, and grilled brats around the 7th inning. a great day all around.

lindsay's half day is today and i'll be meeting her for lunch. it's not too often that we get to eat alone. i had to run some errands and make some calls this morning and now i'm watching the 5th disc of that baseball documentary (1930's). there is not a nats game today, but i'm eagerly anticipating watching john patterson pitch tomorrow night.
