Rental Car

While in Boston I rented a Yaris... not that I'll ever rent one again.  I kind of like a car with the instrument cluster IN FRONT of the driver... not off to the right.  Some designer doesn't have a driver's license.

Scout show - First Aid

So we went to scout show to provide first aid, and where do I find my daughter?  At the COPE ropes activity (She can provide the details as to how & why):

Chipotle

I have eaten a Chipotle a number of times in the past, and ordered a quesadilla (which is off the menu), but it usually comes cut and in a basket.  Not so in Westborough, MA.  Here it is, almost as served (I did have them cut it) on the same aluminum foil that they heated it on.  At least the taste was what it should have been.

Baseball - Exciting???

There has been some discussion in our home lately about baseball not being exciting. I would suggest that it is (or can be) exciting. Take for instance the Red Sox game last night. It's the first time I've been to Fenway Park, a classic park. The outfield scoreboard that shows other games in progress is updated inbetween innings by a man on a ladder.

Our seats were directly behind home plate and close to the field (picture is forthcoming).

The game had the excitement of bases being stolen, the Red Sox being down 6-2, men being left on base. Opportunities to catch up fell apart, leaving the bases loaded. Then in the bottom of the eighth inning, a home run tied the score.... and with the bases loaded, two outs, the 3-2 pitch in the bottom of the ninth was hit out to the left field wall. Not over the fence, but enough to drive in the winning run.

As the hitter rounded first, the Red Sox bench emptied and chased down the runner, rather excited about the win.
