UPDATE: This post was finalized on Friday but I never posted it. Instead I had to practice for this – another lip sync victory this time in the 24th Annual Sultan Lip Sync. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IKJzOvATXQ I know, I know. I’m a bit behind but if you read my prior entry you know why I’m a little [...]

Every year I sit down before the baseball season begins and write out my predictions. Unfortunately I’m a little late this season. I’ve actually started this entry three times but have never gotten around to finishing it, but since I’ve just updated my fantasy baseball rosters and thus put myself back in the baseball mood [...]

One of my favorite things to do for the Herald is to cover an Everett AquaSox game. The AquaSox are the Single-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. I’m the second string reporter for the Sox. Since our usual Sox reporter is unavailable (covering the Everett Silvertips, our Western Hockey League team that has turnedEverett into [...]

A year ago Lis, Lukas and I were planning a road trip across country to watch one of my favorite athletes of all-time, Tony Gwynn, get inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

We had a weekend full of baseball. Yes, Lis adored it! Major Leagues on Friday, Minors on Saturday and the Schmo’s softball league on Sunday. For me it was nearly a weekend in heaven, except for the fact that I had to work late Sunday evening. We’ll start with Friday and the return of Ken [...]

I thought I’d mix it up a bit since the last two lists were dealing with movies. Thought I’d get back to some of my personal stuff, stuff that is easier to write about. Do you ever think about what your 10 best days of your life were? What about your 10 worst days? I [...]

It’s taken me four days to complete this blog entry, but I think I’m finally done with it. And now, that I work at the newspaper tonight and don’t have to do anything but proofread I’m sure you can expect another entry from me real soon. Whoopee! This past weekend the Johnson’s kept busy. We [...]

Opening Day – April 4, 2006
Posted in Baseball on April 6, 2006 | 3 Comments »
Isn’t it lovely? The red, white and blue bunting hanging over the ballpark’s façade, the fresh smell of hot dogs, the neatly cut grass, the brightness of the bases, baseballs and home-team jerseys and the smiles of the thousands of people that played hooky at work, all to enjoy the opening day of the baseball [...]
