Day 11 and 12, Sports

Met a friend for breakfast at the Original Pancake House in Kirkland.  On weekends this place is packed crazy, hard to find parking, and basically you give your name and walk around for 45 minutes.  I was surprised that at 8:30 during the week I could park right in front and the place was empty.

Spent a bunch of time Wednesday trying to get my softball team in order.  Everyone seems to be out of town this weekend and I'm trying to find subs to show up at 10 AM.  Fun, fun, NOT.  Also the floor guy came back to check on the hardwoods and how they're "settling".  Can see the cherry wood getting darker already.  We set the official date for him to finish and talked about doing the stairs as well.  Will all wait until I'm back from Vegas.

Wednesday night went to the second Storm game of the season.  I've been to two of two games so far and will likely make about two games the rest of the year.  As I expected they were sloppy at times and looked great at times.  They trailed most of the game but put in together in the last three minutes and won by 3.  In the end it's a W not an L and that's all that counts.

Started some research on electric toothbrushes for Monica (why aren't these called teethbrushes?) and continued today.  Down to a handful of choices.  Basically got up today, had breakfast, did some misc stuff, tried to walk Hunny Bear until the drizzle turned to pouring rain and got ready to go to the Mariners game.  When Aaron and I split up tickets before the season, I figured this would be a beautiful day to be outside and the Mariners would be fun to watch.  Instead it was 50 and cold.  The sun was out for a couple of innings, but then they closed the roof because storms were approaching. Then it was 50 in the shade and COLD.  And the Mariners were terrible, down 3-1 going to the 9th.  In the ninth they showed more life than they have in weeks and put together a great rally to win!!  This was the first time I've seen them win in person this year (1-6).  Aaron, who I share seats with, says they've won every game he's attended. 

Got home, made dinner, and met with a photographer who's doing a family photo for us.
