Not the nicest day today in Seattle with rain and temps in the mid-60s.  However, not too much to complain about as the rest of the country is steaming especially friends and family in the Southeast.  My Dad says that Nashville continues to experience scorching temps and Atlanta is not faring much better.  So after putting our fleece on and heading out to Safeco Field, we had a great time with several friends watching the ball game.  Ichiro is a helluva ball player…no doubt about it.  That whole movable roof thing comes in handy when the weather is rainy.  This was a pretty significant game as it was our daughter’s first major league game.  Although I have a love/hate relationship with baseball at this point dating from the strike year of 1994, there are few things that compare to stepping into the stadium when a game is going on and a great crowd today delivered.  Mariner’s won, they had Full Sail on draft, and a good time was had by all.
