Ball Game ***edited***

I got a call from my brother Tommy on Saturday afternoon, inviting Tom and me to join him and our Dad at an Orioles game the following afternoon. Heck, yeah! We had no other plans, so the ball game was a great idea. We met Tommy and Dad at the Metro Station and took the Light Rail to the stadium for the game against the Mets. Our seats were in the shade along the left field foul line. Great view and a lovely, if hot, day. Mom sent money with Dad to treat us all to a cold drink. It was a really enjoyable outing. We would have been happier if the O's had won....but you can't have everything. The Mets fans at the stadium seemed like a nice crowd--and boy were there a lot of them--Dad was talking to the father and young son seated next to him, and learned they came down for the weekend. At least *that* is good news for Baltimore! Those New Yorkers had plenty to do while in town, too, with the HonFest and Greekfest going on, as well as the Inner Harbor activities. Heck, even our train on the trip home was full of Mets fans....Tommy amused them all by pointing out that, with the Orioles, you don't get cheated out of those last three outs. You get a full nine innings of play! :)

Thanks for the game, Tom, I enjoyed it!

I forgot to mention that Tom took me to dinner at the Pirate Cove on the way home. Yummy food! When we pulled into the driveway at the back of the house, there was a deer munching on greens across the bridge. We were both so pleased to see that the deer still come by! (I already knew that, because a lot of the lily buds from around the mailbox have been eaten, but it was nice to see the deer.)
