and they won

It is Friday. There is a home game. I am sitting with the usual crowd in the Right Field Bleachers.

The As pulled off two home runs in the first inning to lead 4:1. But then the Orioles came back to tie the game in the 6th which meant that Mengen doesn’t get credit for the win, but rather Trivino who was on the mound in relief when the go-ahead run in the 6th. An insurance run in the bottom of the 8th pretty much clinched things.

For those of you not enamored of baseball – sorry about that….

It is a nice start to the series as the losses to the Astros and Mariners are still stinging….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
