Went to the Mariners game last night.
Left work on time.
Caught the bus.
Got to read while on the bus, which was much better than watching the slooooow traffic around me.
They are replacing expansion joints in the westbound I-90 lanes, which means they are closed. All westbound traffic is now on the two lane express lanes bridge section. So – 3 lanes plus a carpool lane down to 2 lanes. Traffic has been affected.
Anyway, walked the 1/2 mile from bus to stadium, and sat down in the sun. (2 hours from portal to portal) The sun lasted at least for an inning or two, at which point the sun dipped below the stadium wall. (Until it came through the bank of windows, and then through the concourse hole – which is always a bit like being lit up individually – think The Natural)
Got to talk with a few friends and watch Felix Hernandez (All Star) duel it out with a Ranger. Close game. But they finally scored (boo). 1-0. 8th inning heroics. Ichiro on. Branyon out. Lopez out. Griffey walks. Gutierrez hits a mighty wallop! Yeah 3-1. The top of the 9th was two long flys to Ichiro and a slightly shorter one to left field (name escapes me). So that was the game.
Nice. Didn’t know there was a ticket for me for tonights game until this morning. After the chance of trying to drum up a carpool, and too late to catch the bus. So – either skip or get there late. Driving at prime drive time across I-90 will not be good. Decisions, decisions.
