SAFECO SWAN SONG: The photo above is of the very last pitch of the 2012 season. Sigh. What the hell am I supposed to do between now and April ? As Rogers Horsnsby reportedly said, "People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."
I feel you Rogers. ...
The game was Big Fun. We bought great seats off Stubhub right behind home plate for a (relative) steal and enjoyed hearing the sound of the pitch in the catcher's glove (or sometimes on the batter's back, as was the THUD we heard in the first inning when Mike Trout got pegged).
The Ms and the Angels having both been eliminated before today's first pitch, it was a small crowd. That, no doubt, factored in to the kids being on the big screen TWICE tonight. In the first instance, they and bro Ken demonstrated how they all were Gangnam style. Here's the blurry pic I took of them getting down - Ken, Bee and part of CJ. Gangnam style!
And just an inning later the Safeco DJ broke out "Moves Like Jagger." The kids were all over that too and CJ was doing his best Mick on the big screen. :)
EARTHSONG: As the saying goes, "In space, no one can hear you scream." But apparently they can hear you sing - if they have the right kind of equipment. Enter NASA. .
Thanks to the .Storm Probe mission, we're npw mapping the radio waves captured by the Probes and caused by the two Van Allen belts. Apparently HAM radio operators have been hearing chorus in the background for years, but there's never been a recording this clear. http://news.yahoo.com/earth-singing-whale-says-nasa-hear-now-151345965.html
TURN ON YOUR HEARTLIGHT: Today marks the 30th anniversary of the debut of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. What a great movie.
We celebrated the occasion by sprinkling Reese's Pieces on the kids' dessert tonight.
Gangnam - hmmmm
