It was nice, thanks for asking. As much as one would say that there’s nothing like getting dressed up to get drunk (specifically, Hermana Weaselo and one of my coworkers), it’s also nice to be at an event that has no alcohol in it altogether, and the roast beef tea sandwiches were quite nice, as were the pastries. Did Senorita Weaselo take a scone at the end? Of course not, she took several!
What else?
-Got a quick drink with stellar individuals The Maestro and Sharkbait Friday night.
-Sang the bass part during the hymns during the wedding ceremony, dropping the octave where necessary because I had a sore throat from the hotel AC and couldn’t sing anything above G3 or so for most of the ceremony though by the end I was able to push it to the B-flat. Singing in the lower register helped soothe (bottom point of my range is about D2).
-Wandered around Chinatown Saturday night post-wedding, where we wish we remembered the name of the bakery we went to, because they had moon cakes in June, the sweet potato one was really good, and I should have gotten a red lotus cake but didn’t because I was very full from dinner and wasn’t thinking straight as a result.
-Did not get the Celtics championship run pancakes for brunch at the place we went to before going to Fenway Sunday, because I like not being instantly diabetic.
-Watched the GRITSAWX lose on Sunday. In extras! Kinda would have been okay if they walked it off because we would have gotten home a little sooner but it ended up okay, got a guy making his debut by pinch-hitting (Jamie Westbrook) out of it (he walked in the 9th because everyone did until Connor Wong decided to swing at a 2-0 pitch with the bases loaded and Andrew Chafin unable to hit the broad side of a barn and flied out to deep right-center). PS, fuck Manfredball. Also the auxiliary scoreboard had the Twins and Astros flipped, who do I complain to?
-Learned that the green line didn’t have places to get tickets at the station which made things awkward at Harvard Ave until we realized they have their own OMNY system in place, which is probably a better call. Did I get yelled at by Senorita Weaselo about this? Yes. Should I have not made assumptions from 2007? Also yes.
-Had good bubble tea by the ballpark (Ten One Tea House, which I checked is only in MA and RI, and also Taiwan). Senorita Weaselo got the winter melon tea, while I just got a standard brown sugar boba tea.
-Had a cute lunch in Stamford Friday afternoon.
-Drove by one of the Tree House Brewing location Friday afternoon (but didn’t go in, sorry Horatio).
-Found an excellent dinner spot in Westbrook Sunday night.
-Somehow managed to avoid ALL driving tolls, thanks Google Maps!
In conclusion, New England is a land of contrasts. Onto the news!
-Fun times in Cleveland, extensions for coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry!
-CB Cameron Sutton back to the Steelers on a one-year deal.
-Chargers release C Corey Linsley, who will retire due to a heart condition.
-In Fightin’ Redshirts news, they signed a pledge for the class of 2025 from a RB by the name of… Bo Jackson! Obviously not that one, no relation.
Are there sports?
No championship sports, as the NBA Finals (Up in the club like Luka Doncic vs. The team that could have literally sleepwalked their way to the East, especially after everyone on the Knicks died) start Thursday and the super-long-distance Stanley Cup Finals (Operation: Get McJesus and all of Canada a Cup vs. Deeeeefinitely not dirty, Jimmy Vesey’s shoulder was always like that!) start Saturday.
More complaining about Prime (and other baseball)
Twinkie the Kid vs. Arson & John (MIN vs. NYY, 7:05, Amazon Prime)
Tucupita Marcano’s Betting Farm vs. Ippei Mizuhara’s Old Betting Farm (SD vs. LAA, 9:30, FS1)
Oh, the Marble Survival 100 just finished yesterday. If you haven’t been keeping up (and I’m behind a few weeks) now would be a good time to do so and see who wins!
In conclusion, a fair lot of meh. Enjoy this lovely shot of a pole blocking my view of second base!
It’s a good thing there weren’t several plays at 2nd, including stolen base opportunities that I was blocked off from! Other than that, the seats were pretty nice though I should have wandered down as Detroit was scoring 4 in the Manfred inning, and a foul ball caromed starting at our section and bounced over our heads to the back of it in the 5th or so which was cool even if I can’t jump 15 feet to make the play.
The catching a foul ball saga continues!
