The Mariners played a great game last night. No. Really. This rookie pitcher just flat killed it. He loaded up the bases in the 1st inning but wiggled out of that and never looked back. PLUS, miraculously, our hitters actually hit! It was a fun game to watch. And... even though it was a Tuesday home game, the Oh So Very Annoying Former Player who usually invades the Tuesday broadcast, was MIA. It was a surprise and a delightful evening of baseball. A real rarity for Mariner fans.

This morning was a great swim. I had been doing a mile which usually took me 50-55 minutes. But now I've switched to just swimming a good pace - some sprints but not many - and going for 60-65 minutes. I'm not wearing my lap counter but my Misfit says I'm doing a mile and change and that works for me.

My brother is changing his business from a franchise to a stand alone. There are many moving parts to the swap. Today's project is to upfit his newsletter. He sends out some in email (PDF) and some on paper. They are created in Microsoft Publisher which is a great piece of software for the task. He was going to hire a designer to make him a template but, it turns out, no one works in Publisher any more. Wild. So, I'm going to make the template. It will be better right now, anyway, to retrofit his old template - continuity and all that. Plus, I work very cheap.

A food truck I've been meaning to try is in the park by my house today so no breakfast. I'll do an early lunch instead... at the truck... at 11.

Saw this and had to share with "pool connoisseur" you.

I never learned how to swim, but I've been around a few pools. The ones smelling "clean" (chlorine)...were freakin sewage pits???!!!

Yep, that's been big news all over the internets this week. People pee in the pool all the time. No big deal. And no red eyes - at least not on my head.

Thanks to South Park, I already knew water parks were pretty bad, but not BAD in all capitals until now. Catching pink-eye from a water park - WOW!

One of the benefits of growing up in the 50's is that 1. you have an immune system that is rock solid from a pre-antibiotic freaked out world - I had a great case of pink eye in my 20's that set me up with pink eye immunity for life and 2. you are now old enough not to give a shit (oops yeah, ok, pun intended

PLUS you are so old that you don't even care that your One benefit list has two items!

If I visit your brother's shop when I'm in Texas, will I be able to wave to you on camera? :)
