Happy birthday Chantelle. I hope you're still being creative wherever you are and whatever you're doing.
Right around now I was supposed to be getting around here to drive up to Detroit and catch the Twins-Tigers game, but due to all the craziness at the house I'm going to pass on that for now. I was really hoping I could make this trip with Christina and Milena and/or Penny, but due to the craziness in their lives I'm not going to push it. One of the biggest regrets in my life was that I never caught a game at the old Tiger Stadium, and I figured if I went up there now at least I could drive by the old ballpark before it went to pot. Still, even if things weren't so crazy here, I figure that maybe it's best if I wait until I can make the trip with some friends here, just so I'm not up there all by myself.
Since the Tigers' weekday games are all on the road here for a while, I may still pass on seeing the Tigers and going up to see the Shock (Detroit's WNBA team) instead. Even at that, though, I'd really rather make the trip with friends if I can. All things being equal, maybe this is one of my summer goals that I should put off until next summer.
To be honest, I think part of the reason I wanted to go up to see a Tigers game is that it would give me an excuse to go off-diet. Mike Ilitch, who owns the Tigers (and also my beloved Red Wings), is the owner of Little Caesars Pizza, so of course said yummy pizza gets served both at Comerica Park and the Joe, and I'm sorry, but I think it's kind of a necessity to eat Little Caesars either when you're going to a game, or during a playoff run of one of the teams. Of course, I could always just go out and get Little Caesars here in town, then come back and watch the game on TV ... sigh, I'm hopeless, aren't I?
Christina/Milena: Has the package arrived yet? It should have been there yesterday at the latest.
