More planning 2014

Regarding site activity up to now, I can’t stress strongly enough that we are grateful – wait, let me be more specific: we are surprised and ecstatic – that there are actually people reading this blog. According to our internal statistics, we have more than 100 page views from the state of Alaska. … Ok, I know that’s not really a lot of people, but hey, we’ll take it.

The past year was fun. We enjoyed writing about Opening Day in D.C., Miguel Cabrera’s and Joey Votto’s game-winning homers and Craig Kimbrel’s genius as a Braves closer. Even more than that, however, I enjoyed posting stories about my daughter Kelli cheating in the Peachtree Road Race, Penny getting creeped out by the mascot Sausages in Milwaukee and the incredible evening Penny and I spent inside and around Wrigley Field.

If there were an award for “Most Unexpected Experience of 2013,” it would go to the afternoon we went into a suburban St. Louis sandwich shop only to discover it was not a sandwich shop so much as a sex shop. Oh, yes. True story. You'd think the name "Shameless Grounds" would have given us a clue, wouldn't you?

So, we’re gearing up for 2014. More adventures, more stories.

We’re heading to Cleveland for Opening Day.
