First – Happy Mother’s Day to my mother. I did not manage to make the phone call, but it was a busy day.
Started off nicely with breakfast in bed. Omelet, bacon, croissant, melon and blueberries, and coffee.
And the newspaper.
Spent my time enjoying these bits until I had the opportunity to speak with Doris, my mother-in-law. We had a nice chat.
Then roust my own child. A bit later (after the crossword) off to the Mariner’s game.
The Mariners have lost 8 games in a row. Every game of the home stand so far.
But it was sunny today, and warm if you were in the sun. And it was Mother’s Day. And the game was well attended.
And the Mariner’s won. The last game of the home stand, and they won handily. Josh Wilson almost hit for the cycle.
Which would have been amazing because it doesn’t happen very frequently. It did not happen. But on this day the Athletics Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game against the Rays. Because it was Mother’s Day, many major leaguers were using pink bats, and generally trying to draw attention to the fight against breast cancer. Dallas Braden lost his mother to cancer when he was a high school senior.
I digress. After the baseball game. Immediately after, Ashlan & I dumped Carl by the side of the road (really close to home) and took off for our soccer game. It was a hot game with no substitutes, again. After the game Ashlan helped me stretch, and then one of her toes kept going out of joint. Se we finally left the field – I thought we had tied 1-1. I was corrected – we actually won 2-1. This is how much we care about the final outcome.
Anyway, after the game, dinner time. Carl had been going to get something special – but took a nap instead. Which worked out well because we got to go out to dinner. It was delicious. And Ashlan has enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
But I did not get to call my mother, and it is way to late now. So – HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY – MOM. LOVE JAY
