Visiting my mom on the first day of Fall. I read a bit before bed & listen to classical music from her cable TV. WTF? A whole channel blasting out Christmas music?🎄 Before October🎃? Ridiculous. Sheesh!
There's not much to celebrate this year with the fact that I can only get my Sweetie 2 dolls.🪆🪆

Got tickets for an Exploding Whales game in Eugene (about the only way I can get my Sweetie to go to a game). She's sporting the Captain's Hat giveaway. #EMS70
Had some beef and mac & cheese, plus a drone show after the game.
Whales pulled it out in the bottom of the eighth 9-8.

Went out for our 41st Anniversary to the place where we had dinner the night I proposed to my Sweetie 41 1/2 years ago.
Had a nice view of the Spokane River.

My Sweetie told me about this bird nest in our fence the other day. She was amused that they had built a high-rise with a tiny opening at the top. She figured it had been abandoned.
I looked in. I am not convinced the builders haven't left. Will keep any eye on things like our previous duck egg.

I'm #AllHoppedUp to see the Hops start their crawl from out of the basement of the 2nd half NWL season. Or at least get the first win of the half-season.
(I made a promise to wear my 'Ribby' shirt at the next Hops-Spokane game I go to. Ta-Da!)

Saw a great Mariners game tonight. Cal Raleigh had 6 RBI and a grand slam to lead Seattle to an 8-0 shutout win over the Red Sox.
Thanks to JapanBall (Extra Innings Travel) and Baseball Bucket List for organizing & sponsoring the trip. They are headed up to Fairbanks, AK, for the Midnight Sun Game.

Decided I needed a break after helping my mom with her yard work, so I went to the Hops @ Indians game in Spokane.
Look who I met at the entrance! Ribby!!!

My Sweetie goes up by one more with the correct guess of "What is Dell?" from just tonight's Final Jeopardy category of 'Texas Technology.'
(I think she meant the company, not the person, which was what the clue referred to, but it would have been correct.)

Kudos to @rifftrax.com for the 2015 live "Sharknado 2" credit music. During our weekly viewing, my Sweetie and I were intrigued by a song. It was "Dimetrodon" by The Doubleclicks. Truly a "deep cut" from a local (for us) folk-nerd duo that we now can watch for.

Well, I finally broke the long winless streak at our game of "Pre-Final Jeopardy" where we give a response from just the category reveal. I got 'What is the monarch butterfly?' for the 25 MAR game. This puts me one correct prediction behind my Sweetie from the tally we started on X.

What's more giving on Valentine's Day than donating blood?
For me, I donate my AB plasma. So, I guess I don't end up giving any "red", but more of a yellow (like a cream filling you get from a heart-shaped box of candy).

Guess I will need to dump my stock shares in Jack Daniels, Johnnie Walker, and Jim Beam since Pete Hegseth will NEVER TAKE ANOTHER ALCOHOLIC DRINK for the next 4 years. 🥴

Plans fell through, so my Sweetie and I found an alternate venue for Christmas dinner together. ❤️
Had a great meal.
As we were driving out to the restaurant, we passed a local pancake/breakfast place (that serves Sweet Cream pancakes). It was open. If only we knew. Maybe next year?

Back on the MAX for the final train trip of my #OZBall24 Australian adventure. It's cold and ick and rainy here in Portland. True PNW Christmas weather. 🌧🎄
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

In the last days of #OZBall24, I got to watch the first two matches of the BBL Cricket 🏏 season on TV. Not sure what I thought or how it was presented, but I was under the impression that the Melbourne-Sydney Match 2 was held in Melbourne. If I had known it was Sydney hosting, I would have gone. 🫤
