St. Patrick’s Day has certainly been more pleasant than Valentine’s Day was (the lost wallet and extortionist cop day, remember?) When Bob and Cathryn got up, George and Josi were heading out the door for the gym, so we had coffee, ran and showered. At noon the four of us headed into Scottsdale to watch a S.F. Giants vs. Milwaukee Brewers spring training baseball game (George is a major Giants fan). If you’ve never been before, we have to tell you this is much more fun and exciting than attending a regular game or watching on TV. The field is small, the audience is so close to the players, and the “feel” is so intimate, that it really seems you’re part of it! You can see the players’ faces, hear their voices, and the action seems quick and interesting. Today’s game started slowly, with the score sitting at 0 to 0 at the end of the fifth inning, then things took off, and in the bottom of the 9th inning, the Giants got two runs, including an out-of-the-field home run, to win 7 to 5. It was sunny and 85 degrees, and we each had lunch and a beer (George’s beer was even green in honor of St. Paddy). What fun! Now we’re back at their townhouse puttering in the kitchen and getting ready for a relaxing evening. What a nice visit we’re having, catching up with neighbors and enjoying the beautiful desert and sunshine! Tomorrow we leave for Sedona.
