Annie and the Mariners

Look for us tonight at the Mariners vs Mets game cuz we'll be there. I'll wave if I see you looking. Bill's taking his shower so I have time to tap out a few lines before we go to the airport. Fortunately, we're at the Ramada Inn just five minutes away. Our flight goes out at 7 on Alaska, and we'll be seeing Annie at Sea-Tac at 8.

Then, it's a day of geocaching (hmmmmmm) and sight seeing. Annie's got us on a strict schedule so we have to be on our toes. She says once we get to Safeco Field, Bill can go to Ivar's, she'll go to the ribs place and I can buy garlic fries. She says Ichiro's fans have Sushi too. I wonder if there's any other food.

It should be a fun experience. I hear there's not a bad seat in the stadium. I know I'll be looking for some Mariners memorabilia for Willie cuz he's home alone taking care of all the critters, and we appreciate that. Unfortunately, Debbie couldn't make it up this weekend, but she will soon, and they can begin a somewhat normal married life when they move to Spokane.

Speaking of Spokane, I saw the Spokane Polo Club for the first time last night. It's out here by the airport. The fields are beautiful. We watched a few brief minutes of polo and found one of my former students, John Babin, who has taken up the sport. He was keeping time and squeezing that squawky horn to let players know the game was finished.

Apparently, there's a big regional tournament there this weekend. So, if anyone wants to see some fun action with beautiful, athletic horses, check it out. It's directly north of the Longhorn Barbecue where we ate last night.

Gotta go. Happy Saturday everyone. I'm lookin' forward to the blue? skies of Seattle.
