A Good Idea

June 21, 2017

This was April 16th, early in the Mariner season. Paxton, the Mariner pitcher, is Canadian. Instead of “Ks” for his strikeouts, we chanted “Eh, Eh, Eh, Eh.” And hung an Eh sign in a maple leaf on the railing for each strikeout. 

Paxton pitching again at today’s game. We were back with our Ehs. 

And the Mariners must’ve liked the idea, and incorporated it into their scoreboard. 

Counting his Ehs in the upper right. 

By the way,  the Mariners won after the Tiger’s Verlander pitched 5 innings of perfect baseball. Paxton had 8 strikeouts, but Verlander had 11. A bunt single started the rally, and the door opened. A fun game, especially after having my head firmly implanted in databases all day. I do enjoy the analysis,  but after several hours my neck is soar and my head is spinning.

Welcome Spring 

June 21, 2017

Carl has had a congested head most of the month. He keeps hoping it will clear, like rain clears humidity from the air. 

And it has been humid, for Seattle. I even had a day of pouffy hair over the weekend. 

I am not complaining about the weather. I will take our lows in the 50s over highs in the 100s any time. I can’t fathom the 110 plus temperatures predicted in the southwest. 

This week is predicted to improve every day in sunniness and temperature. I hope Carl improves too, especially because we have friends of his arriving on Thursday.
