Bye, bye California
May 27, 2008
My posting frequency has been slowed quite a bit over the past few weeks due to being really busy with work and taking on my new rehab project. You probably noticed that posting came to a complete halt over the extended holiday. Never fear, I just on vacation and I am back in St. Louis and back on my game.
If you’re wondering where I went, I was in California for my 10th annual St. Louis Cardinals road trip. I visited Petco Park in San Diego and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles (we also made a brief stop in Mexico, but that’s another story). The weather was surprisingly cold and wet, but it was a blast nonetheless. Best of all, for the first time on any of our trips we went undefeated.
As I said, this trip is the 10th in an annual tradition. What started in 1999 as a road trip to Kansas City has become a highlight of my every summer. Other trips have taken us through Houston, Denver, Milwaukee, New York (Yankees), Boston, Cincinnati, Washington, Phoenix and Atlanta. There is a long way to go before I manage to see all the ballparks, but I look forward to the challenge. Thirteen down and nineteen to go.
Things should be getting back a more normal situation as the week rolls on. I have a few interesting things coming up so stay tuned. I hope everyone had an enjoyable long Memorial Day weekend.

Have a great time. I love to follow my Kansas Jayhawks on at least one road game a season. Presently we’ve been trying to hit every Big XII school for basketball. But last year went to USC.
