Baseball

Last night I went to Minute Maid Park (I still think that's a terrible name) for the first time this year to see the Astros play the Rockies. I feel very privileged to have seen not only a win, but a game with quite a bit of offence. Lance Berkman hit a homer (yea!), the 'stros scored 7, and Andy Pettite pitched 7 shutout innings (one day after his 4th child was born on Father's Day). I was expecting a pretty empty ballpark, but that crowd of 28,000 seemed even smaller than I expected. In fact, I don't know if I've seen the place so empty before. They didn't ever open the roof, which was too bad because even though the daytime high was over 90 deg the humidity was incredibly low for some reason last night. It was really nice out.

This morning, I was up at 5:30AM. At 8:03, I'm now waiting for my sim to get started. It's ANOTHER EVA sim, so I am going to be bored, barring extreme unforeseen circumstances. I'm working late through the handover so that a coworker can get his kids to their stuff. Then I'm going to try to go get a haircut before going home to pack for Hawaii. I can't believe we're leaving the day after tomorrow.
