Apologies for the radio silence yesterday and the brevity of today. As summer winds down, we've been on the road. We were just north of Portland this a.m., but back in home in time to see the Mariners lose in epic fashion.
The best part of today was the kids answering an #ALSIceBucketChallenge! I'd received a challenge from a friend, as had eldest son Rick, so I offered up the two young uns and Rick as our physical contribution.
l Planning ahead and knowing we wanted to do the ALS challenge at the stadium after the game, we bought a 'bottomless' soda. I brought a Ziploc bag with, and in the 9th inning, I went to a concession stand and requested a 'soda' refill of ice only. I poured it into the Ziploc and requested refill of ice only and another and another. They couldn't refuse, what with the 'bottomless' offer. And that ice wound up on the willing victims' heads.
Lou Gehrig only lived to age 38 :/
Here he is sliding into home plate.
Gehrig was the first MLB player to have his uniform number retired, and he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.
