Sorry for the layoff, I've been a busy marmot. Especially in the week leading up to Memorial Day. Here's a recap.
Monday: Let's see, free tickets, free parking, $1 hot dogs, $1 scorecard, how can it get any better. Kicking a Pittsburgh team's affi;iate, that's how! Akron Aeros 5, Altoona Curve 3.
Tuesday: Lutheran West (my alma mater) clobbers Brooklyn 11-5 to finish up a PAC-10 (Hey, our last conference was called the MAC, we can't resist ripping off D1 college conference names) championship baseball season. Fun was had by all. marmot or human, unless they were wearing blue and gold. Read all about the shellacking here.
Wednesday/Thursday/Friday: I'll update this if I remember anything.
Saturday: Indians beat the Rangers 5-2 behind a magnificent performance by Cliff Lee, who picked up his 7th victory of the season. This was followed by an all night drive to Indy punctuated by a brief stopover at a Dayton Motel 6.
Sunday: Woke up, picked up some donuts for all the fans of real, shiny, and fast IndyCar racing at Camp & Brew (thanks for the t-shirt, guys!). Finished the journey into Indy, hung out at C&B, entered the Speedway, downed a tenderloin (and a box lunch), and watched Scott Dixon win the 92nd Running! Returned to C&B and then left for home. This is where everything went wrong. Me and my mother, the roo (long story), managed to arrive in Dayton right when all the restaurants were closing, rather than eat more fast food (we'd had enough already), we decided to keep going. We found nothing. With exhaustion setting in we found a truck stop a bit south of Mansfield where we managed to get some food from an Arby's (at this point, we were hungrier than we were picky) and directions to a Best Western (phew!).
Monday: Finish homeward trip, catch Coke 600 on tape, watch indians lose to White Sox 6-3 (in person), sleep off crazy week.
