I'D RATHER BE SAILING

Last week it was so hot here, there was no difference between here and Florida in the summer. If I was a snow bird, I would not want to come here anymore. Today was the first 'cooler' day, in the low 80's instead of 90's feeling like 100 with a 100 % humidity. Several friends emailed me regarding my latest drawing. Check out the comments:

DAVID ORTIZ SETS RECORD IN SEATTLE

Final: Red Sox 11, Mariners 4

Ortiz doubled in his first at-bat to pass Baines for the most hits as a DH and hit a two-run homer an inning later, leading the Boston Red Sox to an 11-4 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night. Yay !

UPDATE: JULY 11th: Day baseball today at Seattle. Things are not going so well, 4-1, Seattle, top of the third; Dempster is pitching.... more later....

Sox pulled it out, 8-7 in the tenth.....we're still #1 as the Tampa Bay Rays come charging up in the standings; they are only 4 games behind us. After the dismal horrible last season, we are getting to see great baseball - missing Roby.....

UPDATE: July 14th:
well, we lost to the A's last night. We are all bleary-eyed in Beantown from these 10:00PM games out on the west coast; glad they're over. Today is day baseball...3:40 pm...stay tuned......
