I'm sitting in the second deck at Oakland Coliseum in between games at the Oakland A's Minnesota Twins doubleheader.  This is the first time I've been out to a public event in over a year.  I've had both my shots, over two weeks ago, am wearing a mask, and our seats are socially distanced from everyone else.   Feels good, but also a little strange.   The stadium is almost empty, I wouldn't be surprised if the attendance is in the hundreds instead of the thousands.  But it's a live baseball game!  Wahoo!  I wonder what "normal" will look like once we get there?


Bill, tgo (who just feels in the mood to share some musings).

That's awesome, Bill, can't wait to go to Fenway again...Go Saux! 

Right on!

I'm sorry to tell you, Rob, but your Sox are the wrong color......

Peter (who actually hasn't been to a game since '94, and is usually only still a Sox fan when around Cubs fans.........)

We wear Red Sox in Salem, Virginia.

I have read that when a woman gives birth she eventually forgets the pain involved and may even try it again! As I am out more and more after getting my shots I think this last year will be like that.

I dunno, David; The Lovely & Charming Mrs. Cowboy seems to remember the pain just fine - but She did it 3 times anyway.

I suspect a man wrote that!

It's possible a man wrote it! I did pass a kidney stone a while back and I don't think about it much anymore though...

I passed one a couple of years ago.   I remember how painful it was.  I wouldn't want to go through that again.

Oh, I miss playing live for an audience so much... Glad you're back on duty, Bill.
