Southbound

AND THEY'RE OFF:  It's a little quiet around the MPA campus since the entire student body is gone fishin'. And campin'. And, apparently, tubin'.

Christian texted me the photo above this evening. It's the kids on Dorena Lake, pictured here (via Google Earth). 

At least, I think it's a photo of the MPA kids, but I have to guess, because the photo is so tiny and pixelated.  But I'm presuming he didn't send a photo of strangers' kids, LOL.

Hopefully some higher resolution photos will be incoming in the days to come. 

STARRY-EYED: While the kids were doing their thing, the MPA administration was working around campus and, at times, concentrating on today's Major League Baseball's All Star game. It was nice to see four Mariners on the team, and they all got to play, which is nice.

King Felix started the game and did himself and the city proud, dominating.  Here's a few-months-old photo of Annabelle, repping Felix (and happily holding a batting practice ball!)

SPACED OUT: Today, NASA released a new video highlighting the the many ways the Goddard Space Flight Center helps explore the universe. It's pretty rockin'!

TODAY'S ENGLISH LESSON: Weird Al is in the midst of a week where he's releasing one new video every day. Ambitious! Loved today's debut: "Word Crimes" to the tune of "Blurred Lines"

Blogger is refusing to let me embed the link, so you're going to have to click on it. It's worth the trouble. ;) - http://vevo.ly/yRwiKB
