MaryAnne Take Me Out to the Ballgame

30 Jul 2008 July 12, 2008 andnbsp; We made it to down to Joliet, IL and are staying in a small campground at the Empress Casino. It�s an interesting little park, with a smattering of greenery and nice large sites. The casino is across the parking lot, and the hotel is adjacent to the campground. The driveway up to the property has really neat landscaping in the form of cards and dice made out of stone and flower arrangements. Quite clever, indeed. We�re right near the entrance so we can watch all the comings and goings. I feel like Mrs. Kravitz! andnbsp;andnbsp; After getting settled, we ventured over to my cousin Shelley�s house. Shelley, Ramon and Joyce are Uncle Ray�s Read More

MaryAnne Take Me Out to the Ballgame

30 Jul 2008 July 11, 2008 andnbsp; We left Minneapolis for our return trip to Chicago. The winds were brutal and blew us all over the roadway! Along the way we stopped at the Spam Museum! andnbsp;andnbsp; That�s right, you read it right � SPAM. And not the internet kind either! That wonderfully fabulous mystery meat in a can. And actually, after touring the museum, we found out that Spam is actually ground up spiced ham, with NO fillers! It does not contain pig parts and the stuff let over like non-kosher hot dogs. The museum is located in Aurora, MN, home of Hormel Foods, the makers of Spam. The HQ is even located next door to the museum. I Read More

MaryAnne Take Me Out to the Ballgame

30 Jul 2008 July 9 andamp; 10, 2008 andnbsp; July 9, 2008 We decided to go out sightseeing today. OK � we went out to stalk Prince. I looked up an alleged address for his house, and went searching. Minneapolis and its surrounding areas are beautiful, and not at all what I expected. The houses were all so huge! I guess with all those multiple birth children one needs something that big, but all the developments were like that. (I looked up one on the internet when we got back home � 6 bedroom, 5 baths, finished basement - $325K! Unbelievable!) After 3 hours of searching, and getting lost numerous times, we abandoned the mission. We found the alleged general Read More

MaryAnne Take Me Out to the Ballgame

30 Jul 2008 July 7 and 8, 2008 andnbsp; July 7th I spent the afternoon at the Mall of America in Minneapolis. (Angels singing) Rick came along for lunch, but high-tailed it out of there right afterwards. Just as well, he�d just slow me down! I told him I�d call for him when I was ready to go. The MOA isn�t as big as I thought it would be. The amusement park in the middle is mostly kiddie rides, with a couple that cater to the older kids at heart. andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; There�s even a babysitting service so one can drop them off. There is one really cool kids thing that I wish I could have tried. They put you in Read More

MaryAnne Take Me Out to the Ballgame

30 Jul 2008 July 6, 2008 andnbsp; We got into Minneapolis yesterday. We drove through lots of farm land and dairy farms. Imagine, dairies in Wisconsin! I�m loving the whole cheese curds thing! They�re basically just little balls of cheese, but they�re just the right size for snacking, and come in a plethora of different tastes, like taco or garlic and dill. Mmmm mmmm mmmm! The countryside is also dotted with cheese factories and stores. They really are cheese heads up here! As we came from St. Paul to Minneapolis, there were detour signs for I-35W, the bridge that collapsed last year. What a stark reminder of how precious life is. The signs say the roadway should be opened soon, Read More

MaryAnne Take Me Out to the Ballgame

25 Jul 2008 July 4, 2008 andnbsp; To day we went to the Milwaukee Brewers game. The stadium was easy to get to, and we got there early to walk around the park. andnbsp;andnbsp; OK, we thought we got there early enough, but it seems that in Milwaukee everyone comes early. The parking lot was half full with tailgaters, and the lines were long to get in before the park even opened! A woman that I befriended in line told me that this was the only park that sells more Brats than hot dogs. I believe it since almost every grill in the parking lot had Brats on it. No tri-tips, no steaks or chicken. I didn�t even see many Read More

25 Jul 2008 July 1, 2008 andnbsp; We did nothing today, and I feel bad about it. I know we�re on vacation, but I had wanted to go visit my cousin on the other side of town, but Rick doesn�t feel so good, and I am a little tired. The campground is about an hour from where she lives. The heat, no the humidity, really wipes me out. I�ve lived in the San Joaquin valley, so I�m no stranger to heat. Rick too. But the humidity is oppressive! I don�t know how people can live in this stuff. I know they get used to it, but no thank you! And I get tired of the noise from the A/C unit Read More

25 Jul 2008 July 2 andamp; 3, 2008 andnbsp; July 2nd andnbsp; We left this morning and headed up to Milwaukee. The drive only took about an hour and a half, so it was easy cruising. We�re staying at another Jellystone Campground here. andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; I love these places. Maybe it�s because of all the kids running around. It reminds me what summer is supposed to be about. Hanging out with your friends, swimming, riding bikes and flirting with the boys! Ahhh, the innocence of youth! The campground is packed for the 4th of July, and no wonder this is the place to be with kids, there�s a million things to do here! They have a water park, miniature golf, a Read More

His words brought me lots of comfort. She was an amazing woman! We had a social engagement today, the wedding reception of my friends Karen and Jason. They actually got married last year, but haven�t been able to get back to Chicago long enough to do it. (They live in Charlottesville, VA and work at UVA) Karen�s Mom, Sue, is so nice!

I don�t know how you people in big metro areas do it! What a waste of time spending hours sitting in traffic! Aaarrrggghhh!!! I get so frustrated that yes, even hours later I�m still outraged by it. Rick just laughs at me and says to get over it. I can�t knowing that it is so easy for people to be sheep and not demand better for society. OK, OK � not the forum for this rant! I�ll spare you all.

21 Jul 2008 June 25 and 26, 2008 andnbsp; June 25 andnbsp;We left Detroit today en route to the Chicago area. I had this great idea of staying at a campground in between Chicago and Milwaukee. My reasoning was that since we were going to be in the area for so long, we wouldn�t have to move during that time. The logic had one flaw � the campground sucks! It looked nice enough when we pulled in, but once we got out to hook up, the mosquitoes came out in droves! OMG I�ve never seen so many in one concentrated area. Its hours later and I still feel like they�re buzzing around me! The campground is also very brown and Read More

I love all the big cats standing guard over the park like gargoyles. andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; Our seats were behind home plate in the second section. The park is newer, and was one of the first retro parks built after Camden Yards in Baltimore. andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; andnbsp;Rick says it�s the park that ATandamp;T (or whatever the hell it�s called this year) in San Francisco was modeled after.

They had a couple of social engagements to attend as well as checking on the house. Linda went first, followed by us, and Art drove up after work. Linda planned on staying through the week, but Art would only be here for the weekend. It�s like driving from Monterey to LA, so I guess it�s not so bad.

17 Jul 2008 June 19, 2008 andnbsp; We went and saw the Reds play again tonight. Every time I see the skyline of Cincinnati I would start singing the theme to WKRP in Cincinnati, that old TV show with Dr. Johnny Fever and Les Nesman. Remember? I loved that show! (That�s Les Nesman singing the theme song, ya know?!) We didn�t have the suite this time, so we had to sit in the regular seats with the regular people! (I told you we were getting spoiled!) The seats were great (Thanks Art!) and we had a great time. andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; Art and Rick had fun mugging for the camera with the statues. It�s like they were both back in high school Read More

UNITED STATES Well: we have been here for 5 1/2 weeks, now, and we are,still, not on board!

11 Jul 2008 Just a last minute update.andnbsp; Jason and Mark both busted out on Day 3.andnbsp; Jason fairly early to a bad beat, and Mark late in the day.andnbsp; Mark made it the furthest and was about 50 away from the money.andnbsp; He also had his opponent dominated, and the guy hit a runner-runner straight to take him out.andnbsp; That"'s a real heartbreaker.
I went to see Ka tonight.andnbsp; Amazing althetic performances.andnbsp; I am amazed at what human bodies can do.andnbsp; I"'m headed to WA tomorrow for the day, but I"'ll be back Sat. at 5:00.andnbsp; Just in time for Salmon Jam. Read More
