Grandpa's 90th Birthday and a great baseball game...

I woke up late and got to the park late. It was OK. No big deal. The game was great. Great seats and great company. The win was sweet as well. Schmidt did a great job and for Benitez got his career 250th save. It was a nice day and the weather was perfect. I forgot that there was a season ticket holders picnic.

I was so happy and I lost track of time, but being on the field was sweet. I got to see the dugouts (I didn't go into the clubhouse) and it was sweet. I was on the same ground as Bonds, Alou, Linden, Ellison, and others. It really made my day.

I got some autographs. I got Linden, Cain, Eyre (he asked me what was on my head I said I didn't know. It was sweet! It was just the long balloon tied to look like ribbon thing for AIDS but black.), Taschner to edit his number. It was just sweet over all. I didn't get Ray Durham's autograph, but I got a picture. That was sweet. Just being with the players was great.

Afterwards, it was time for Grandpa's birthday. I had no idea he was 90. Yup that's pretty good. He's in good health too. I saw my little cousins and then the older ones. I got some cute pictures of them. They're all on my camera and I just have to take them off and put them on here. I got some on my camera which is sweet because I can look at the cuties whenever I want.

Memorial and Cracker Jack...

It's Saturday night and I'm at home. OK this is after I went to a memorial. I'm just sitting here thinking about life. I saw my little cousins who are growing up before my eyes. One who was maybe a four months old now is eight months old. I can't believe how he's grown. Then there's also another one who's now big too. She's only a little bit older than him I think. They're growing up and that's life.

I spoke with my cousin about "converting" his boys to being Giants fans. He didn't have a problem with that. I think I should run it by my cousin first. I don't know if she'll be OK with it. This event a sad one, did allow me to see my cousins only a week earlier than usual. You just have to wonder if this is how life is. Something good happens and then something sad happens.

When my cousin read something she wrote it did bring tears to my eyes because what she talked about I felt too. I felt how her grandmother did take care of me too, as if I was one of her own grandchildren. She lived a long life until the age of 91. I had no idea my uncle retired early to take care of his parents. Things you learn from others.

I've been thinking about Cracker Jack for a while now. I ate it and then we lost. I ate it again and we lost again. I finally finished the bag hoping for something good to happen. Nothing. We lost again. I hate Cracker Jack now.
