Couple days with Diane
Di and I met at Tucson Electric Park and watched the Mariners lose *B-( to the Diamondbacks yesterday. It was a fun game, and, NO, Cole, Ichiro and all the other big names didn't play. Drat the luck! Both teams played their rookie and wannabe rookie players...But the hot dogs, beer, game and crowd made for a great time...
The crowd got into the Mariner rookie pitcher's apparent headshot to the Diamondback catcher. But really the guy didn't even have to dodge or duck, and the catcher caught it easily. The umpire jumped in front of the catcher and threw the pitcher out of the game. Both teams crowded near the mound...they seemed to come out of the woodwork...but no fight took place. The crowd hooted, hollered and laughed!!! Whadda joke...later a Diamondback pitcher did the same thing and the umpire just looked the other way...
We checked into a motel that was really a dive...yukko...It was a Days Inn even, but we checked out the room for clean beds and said "oh well"...Then hurried down the freeway and caught "Alice in Wonderland" in 3D...drooled over Johnny Depp as we gorged on popcorn...Later we skipped the tacos made with calf cheeks or pigskin and opted for shredded beef and chicken...lol

Yeah! What a FUN time you had! Even the nasty motel! Love you and GREAT to see Aunt Di! <3
The news said that that first Mariner pitcher, like Dan Haren of the Diamondbacks, was one of their star pitchers. I guess that's why the batter (D-backs catcher) got angry. There were tons of Mariner fans in the crowd!
The cave at the desert museum was really cool. Just a little difficult for me to maneuver with my new bat ears. Lots of stuff for kids at this place.
If you see Alice, make sure it's in 3-D. And no texting during the movie if you don't want to be spoken to by the movie police.
This was a year's worth of activities packed into 2 days for me. What a blast!
