Let's Go Nats!
After a, um, challenging morning of writing (that pesky, pivotal Chapter 15 of THERE'S THE RUB is now going to be two chapters...), we headed down to Nationals Stadium for an afternoon game against the Pirates. My sister- and brother-in-law picked us up and drove us to the park (we've taken the subway to the other games that we've attended.) Let's just say that there's a lot to be said for parking in a season's-ticket-holder lot one half block from the park entrance.... There's even more to be said for a quick getaway at the end of the game - we were home less than half an hour after the final out!
The afternoon was lovely, and the game was a good one - the Nats won with relative ease (which was a nice change from the last game we saw!) My only complaint is that the park is too loud - music plays constantly, and the volume is so loud that you can't hear family members two seats away. I'm not a great judge of noise, though; I almost always think that ambient sound is too loud. I hope that they'll tone things down a bit as they settle into the season.
Back home, I got the morning chapter edited, caught up with my parents by phone, and worked a little on the newest quilt (my own version of a fairly simple pattern that I was too cheap to buy; it's a "market quilt", with various fruits and vegetables in market "baskets".)
Somehow, it's already pretty late on Sunday night, and there's a full work week ahead of me...
Where does the time go?!?
Mindy,
