monday

This blogging thing is exhausting. I had to take a food break.

On Monday the Tigs didn't play until 6:05PM so we decided to go to Gatorland in the morning. We waited for the elevator to come to take us down to the first floor. Imagine my surprise when the elevator door opened and Willie Horton walked out. I couldn't breathe and definitely couldn't speak. Sometimes I hate myself. I wonder if I have been spending too much time with Amanda. When we go to Gibraltar Trade Center to get autographs she gets really nervous and her palms sweat. I'm okay with standing in a line and meeting baseball players. But apparently I am completely inept in making conversation with a baseball player in the real world. Anyway, when we were in the elevator and the door had closed I asked Jesse if he had notice Willie Horton. He said he noticed the short fat man looked familiar but couldn't place him. Willie Horton was staying on the same floor as us!

Gatorland was a trip. The ticket lady said Gatorland is so cool that Johnny Damon and his wife had been there the day before. Lots of alligators and crocodiles. Unfortunately, it rained really really hard and we had to miss the train ride and the alligator wrestling.

The game was great. Split squad sucks a little bit but we got to see a lot of starters play for most of the game. I'd like to say that the Tigs were looking strong but they just weren't. Rondell White was definitely looking good, though! It was so nice to watch baseball again.

Still hadn't found a place to buy a cd.

I can't believe that you didn't just blurt out, "I named my pussy cat after you!!" to Willie Horton.

I'll remember that for next time!
