susandennisI am 63 years old today. (I did get a card yesterday from an old friend wishing me a happy 68th. I should hang on to it and in 5 years, it will be accurate! He's 68, I think. so just projecting...)
Both Seattle NPR stations are now doing pledge drives so I had my radio set for KQED in San Francisco and the first thing I heard was that the baseball game was in the 11th.
Seattle is playing Oakland in the baseball season opener being played in Japan. A major owner (or two, I think) of the Mariners is Japanese and it is the first regulation game of the MLB season and the first time they have ever opened the season out of the country. And Ichiro is playing. In other words, BFD.
I had TiVo set to record the game but I hopped up and turned on the TV and saw the last inning of the game and so I saw the Mariners win!!! And Ichiro got 4 hits. Flashbulb (now there's word that old people only use!) city. Fun. Happy birthday to me!!
