My fingers are mad at me
and a Phillies game recap
I haven't climbed in two weeks, since we left the Gunks thanks to a nasty nasty head cold. Bleck. I guess I lost a layer of calluses on my finger tips because after just a few short climbs, my fingers were screaming at me. I look forward to building them back up again. Hopefully I can get out to the gym a couple more times before the long weekend.
Sam, Elk, Mendra and I had a good time at Ovarian Cancer Awareness Night with the Phillies v Blue Jays. Citizen's Bank Park really is a nice ballpark. Its got great food, good views. I just wish it was easier to get out of the parking lot after the game. I think we get out of the Flyers games much faster.
Unfortunately there wasn't any visible indication at the game that it was Ovarian Cancer Awareness Night. It would have been nice if they'd put some information about Ovarian Cancer on the scoreboard, or made an announcement about it over the loud speaker, and they didn't have any handouts to give to people, either. But maybe they didn't sell enough ticket earmarked for Ovarian Cancer night. Hopefully the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation was able to get a good-sized donation out of the Phillies though.
As for the game itself: to Mendra's disappointment, the Blue Jay's lost. If it wasn't for one inning where they loaded the bases for the Phillies with a few walks, and a few hits... it could have turned out differently. Watching the game reminded me why I loved playing so much when I was a kid. I used to love playing under the lights.
