Have a good weekend? I guess I did. We ate at Moxie Burger Friday night. I got a grilled chicken sandwich, no fries. On Friday night C and I were driving around and we were talking discussed The Big Ketch.
Saturday morning I drove to Firestone to get the alignment checked in Ceil’s car. Only took an hour. Later I mowed the lawn, out in the heat. Took a nap after that.
Andrew and Mariah’s wedding was late Saturday afternoon, at the JFBC Chapel. Andrew is the son of my other friend Reid, and his wide Noelle Hall.
Our kids grew up hanging out with Andrew (Anna’s age) and his brother Nathan (M’s age). Friday night pizza, trick or treating together, etc. The old group was in attendance: the Earharts and Watkins, including kids Mary Lee and Daniel, Bethany, C&A, and M. Also newer friends the Chiles and Cho’s.
When Andrew first saw his bride, he began to cry. Then Mariah came down the aisle crying. A tender, God honoring ceremony. The reception was at the Roswell Country Club. Hors d’oeuvres were tasty. Not sure why C ordered me a steak. Mariah’s brother delivered a wonderful speech. A good time. Got home at 1030 pm.
Sunday School has 23 in attendance. Our friend Drew spoke, about his life in the Far East. In the service the Chiles’ daughter was commissioned. Next month she travels to the Far East to teach school. After the service there was a BBQ lunch in her honor, catered by Williamson Brothers BBQ. Very good.
After lunch I drove C to Perimeter Mall. She didn’t stay long, but still it was too hot to stay in the car. Back home to watch golf. C cooked Mexican for supper.
Up early to go to the gym this AM. My neck still hurts. Week 2 of training for Leo.
’d take the kids to games, but it was only after the kids had moved on before I started to golf and to games. C would rather stay at home than go to games, and she likes it when I’m there with her at night. It was good to be able to have been able to make it to my kids games and recitals. C would go to our kids games, she just doesn’t like to go to games like I like to go to games (early). I like to go early to see all the sights then make it to my seats before the game starts. Ceil’s brother is like me, he likes to go early to see the warmups.
When I was single and worked for Jim Suggs, I would leave work at 5 and drive home and change clothes before going to SPdL on Wednesday nights. All those other married guys like Scot Wright and Scott Rees and David McDaniel would go to SPdL in their suits. I was hanging out with Don Head and David Hurt and the other singles, as well as the high school and college kids.
Will attended the Padres game in San Diego yesterday. Saturday he was at Dodger Stadium. Earlier they visited that famous observatory in LA. Tonight they’re at Angels Stadium. His flight takes off at 1 am Pacific time.
DALE MURPHY [SABR Bio] had the longest consecutive games-played streak within Cal Ripken's record 2,632-game streak. Murphy cobbled together 686 straight games during Ripken’s streak, although his real total was 740 because his streak started with a game on 26-Sep-1981. Cal’s began on 30-May-1982. Murphy’s ended 08-Jul-1986. His games-played streak is still the longest in Braves history. The Braves are the oldest continually-operating franchise in MLB history, born as the Boston Red Stockings in 1871. Since then, they have been the Boston Reds, the Boston Nationals, the Boston Doves, Boston (just “Boston”), the Boston Bees, the Boston Braves, the Milwaukee Braves, and since 1966, the Atlanta Braves. He was once named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People”, in 1987.
