After the girls got back home last week, Sean and I took off for an overnighter in Seattle — boys night out of sorts, you could call it. It was perfect: 8th row seats at Safeco Field to see the Mariners and Tampa square off, an amazing game that ended with the Mariners winning 7-6 in 11 innings on a 2-run, walk-off HR with 2 outs and 2 strikes on Ryan Langerhans, and even a 4-star hotel room at a 2-star price (thanks to Priceline).
I’ve put 21 photos on Flickr. I think this one is my favorite because of the 4-level depth of field — from Crawford to Hernandez to the Rays coach to the fans. Pretty cool.
I don’t think so. Gotta be a gimmick. Trick photography/editing. Something. Still, this is supercool awesomesauce…
Update: As Adam Baldwin just pointed out on Twitter, and as you can actually see in the freeze-frame above, there’s a dummy on the ground at the base of the ramp. So, no, it’s not real. But it’s still cool!
Cari and T are back from their California adventure, and life is returning to normal already at Casa McGee. While the girls were gone, those coupons that magically appeared in our mailbox the day they left came in very handy.
Day 1
Day 5
Day 7
Not pictured is the dinner we had on days 2 and 3 courtesy of the Pizza Hut coupon. On the other days, we actually had home-cooked meals! So, it wasn’t a total culinary vacation or anything like that … but close.
I doubt the temp has gone down at all in the 10 minutes since I took this screenshot. Probably gone up, in fact. Checking … no … okay, still says 108 degrees.
I know Seattle and Portland had a little burst of 100+ temps, but we’ve been at or above 100 for about three weeks now. If I wanted to live in weather like this, I’d move to Death Valley.
Enough already! Look at that cooling trend — 20 degrees less by Thursday. Can’t come soon enough, I say.
Welcome to my home away from home on the Interwebz. When I'm not here, you might find me on Twitter (@mattmcgee), Flickr, StumbleUpon, or maybe even Yahoo! Answers. I'm a big sports and music fan. I watch LOST religiously. I love big, juicy cheeseburgers, and ice cream. With M&Ms. The ice cream that is, not the cheeseburgers.
