A Nice Weekend

I'm back after a few days vacation in Ludington, MI.

Spent a lot of time swimming in Lake Michigan and have a sunburn on my back to prove it.

Lots to catch up on:

Magic Number - 32

Piazza hit two home run last week against Pedro. That was cool - especially since the Mets won. It was nice to see him get the curtain call. I did feel a little bad for him when the Mets kept stealing bases - but you've gotta take advantage.

Following the sweep of the Padres. They took 2 of 3 three from the Nationals.

The Nats have taken a page from the Brewers with a character race. No sausages here - they have huge costumes of the 4 Presidents on Mount Rushmore.

Speaking of Presidents - stopped at the Gerald Ford Museum in Grand Rapids - very interesting. Shannon and Ellis did not enjoy it so much.

Mud Hens have lost four in a row - and I just sent in my playoff ticket request form.

Time to put some lotion on the sunburn.
