Opening day...

Today was the opening day for our local baseball team (Norfolk Tides, affiliated with the Orioles) and, as always, it is "Public Safety Recognition Night". For the last 5 years I have attended the opening day cerimonies. Today was no different, though it looked as if the weather wasn't going to cooperate. But as I walked into the park, the sun came out and the field was ready. B-E-A-Utiful!!! I had just gotten my usual jumbo hotdog with the works and looking for my seat (5 rows above the home dugout on the home plate side!!!!)when the phone rings. Amy: " I need you to come home!" Me: "What?!?!?!" Amy:"Bosco just bit Nathan and he's bleeding".
Well, no shit. I immediately leave to go home and inspect this "bite" and prepare to laugh at the typical mother over-response. Upon my arrival, I see the bite and no kidding- it's a bite! Upper arm gash, bleeding, and in need of stitches! So the rest of my evening was spent in the ED and though no stitches were needed, the cleaning and Steri-strips were enough to piss him off. What a day. I wonder how the game went...

About Me

My photo
For those who don't know me that way... I spend most of my energies contemplating life and everyone in it- mostly feeding on a combination of fascination and frustration, which is most of what I feel for the world at large...

Good Night!
