We drove from Atlanta to Orlando on Friday (4/4/08). We went from cold and wet to hot and breezy. SHORTS TIME!!
On Saturday (4/5/08), we drove to Miami. We're staying with Steve and Charlene Dawes, friends from my RVI days. Charlene cooked a wonderful shrimp dish while we jabbered away.
Today, we went to Dolphins Stadium. For all your Northerners, it was 85deg and sunny. I wish we could bottle this weather and take it with us. Dolphins Stadiums a very nice football stadium, but a marginal baseball stadium. Attendance is very poor. We sat behind homeplate, 11 rows off the field and had the whole row to ourselves for $37 a ticket. No lines for food; no problem getting into and out of the parking lot. The Marlins aren't a very good team. Too many errors, not enough pitching. The Pirates won 9 - 2. Alfredo Amezaga made a highlight reel catch in center. I'm sure it'll be on SportsCenter tonight.

Now, for the all important hot dog rating: "9" -- you have to buy it from the kosher hotdog guy, at a kiosk near section 146. Hebrew National dog, sauerkraut, peppers, and onions with a fresh bun. Yummy!
We leave for Sarasota tomorrow (on our way to Tampa). We'll be stopping at the Ringling Bros. Estate and Museum. It should be interesting.

Great to see you are off to such a great start. Being a liflong Pirates fan it was great to see them go 2-0 in your first two games. I agree, mustard from a pump is a huge +ive. I plan to meet up with you for the game in Pittsburgh in July.
