SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER?

This is NOT promising:

I am excited about this weekend. We are in Section 12 on Friday and Section 8 on Saturday and the front row of an Upper Box on Sunday (just won an eBay auction - we’re *so* bringing K cards!) I am on a deadline at work, which explains the dearth in posting around here these days, although I am managing to watch most of the games. But even with the deadline, no one would think of suggesting that I miss a game, even although 99.999% of them are Yankees fans (which makes some of them even more understanding when I say something like, “I can’t do that on Tuesday, we have a game, I know it’s the Nationals but I am not missing any games I have tickets for in September.” Hey, there are nice Republicans too. [Or so I’ve heard.]) But it makes content generation a little difficult.

Tomorrow’s pregame festivities feature the Official Section 12 Regulars Final Season Tailgate, sponsored by the D. family in row F.

Last weekend we headed out to Flushing for Korean food and so I could shoot the neon while Shea was empty. I’m excited to see what they look like, but I shot them in the largest format possible so it will be some time before I can have time to work with them and present them for your perusal. But I have to do it soon, because if I don’t like what I got, I don’t have much more time to get it. I don’t trust the Mets to shut it off or take it down with any warning whatsoever. I feel like I’ve gotten Shea, you know, as much as I could get it, and at least we have 10 more games to make sure.

And we’re still looking for something affordable for The Last Game. Um, faith will be rewarded and all that.
