play ball

baseball season is upon us! a long way to the fall classic but should be entertaining along the way. some fans do not even get excited until the playoffs (some don't care at all). myself, while at home, it is good background noise for the TV or radio--"tuning" in when you hear the announcers getting excited, or see a couple of men on base. it can also be a good distraction while running, play by play broadcasters creating an image for you.

there is a conoco home run pump in the outfield, it counts up every astros' home run. our first picture at ENRON field was 12. my last visit to Minute maid park was 594. also, we have a brick for calendar girl. we bought one for puddle jumper, but i don't know if it has been 'installed' yet.

btw, it is virtually impossible to watch a game with two little girls. all they care about is going up and down the steep concrete stairs, eating 2-3 bites of a hot dog, drinking a spirte, getting ice cream and catching a ride with the "bike taxi"
