August 9th has always been a special day on the Calender for us and now it will have a second reason as today will end one very bizarre weeks in our 40+ years together.
If everything goes as planned, he will make it back to Laurel Fork after a lengthy stay at Duke University Medical Center.
For those of you that reached out during the past week, God Bless You π. Working on the book π and the High Jump project provided a nice diversion !
The writing β on this site has been ongoing for almost two decades now but the streak part is still in year two. The self challenge is to make everyday a little bit better for someone by using words in a positive way.
Don’t know if it will see 800 or not but we will do our best !
Years ago, I completed the visit every Major League Baseball βΎοΈ stadium π loop and thought that it would be fun to see how many of the AAA parks I could take in. There are 30 and they are spread across the country in second level cities.
Β I am now just a handful shy and later today that number gets reduced by one as I take in a game upstate in Salt Lake City.
Β The difference for me is that when I am at a park like the one tonight, its less about the game and more about the atmosphere and marketing aspect of things. What is taking place that night translate to a college game or a High School game?
I don’t know it for a fact but I believe that Howard Mayo and Casey Burcham are currently working on their versions of the MLB parks and if that’s the case, I would welcome hearing about it.
My favorite thing about the game of Baseball βΎοΈ is just how different every park is and what it means to the community it serves.
Salt Lake City !
Next up after SLC will be Albuquerque, New Mexico, home of the Isotopes. Between now and then I will research what an Isotope is….
