Two Very Good Days right in a row.
I took off work Thursday to go to an afternoon Nats game with my friend Steve. We had a great, albeit sunburned time. The Nats lost, but that is not surprising any more. Mark met us in the stands before the game, so I was very happy about that. Then, in the 4th inning there was The President's Race. If you haven't been to a Nats game recently, it is a sight to behold. Much like to sausage race in Milwaukee, they have four guys don giant costumes and race down the field--except these costumes are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt. It is truly hysterical, and they have rigged it so Teddy never wins. Thursday, Mark and some other media guys got to be the presidents! Mark was George and he won!! It was very fun and exciting, not to mention hilarious.
Steve and I went downtown after the game to avoid traffic. We hung out at the Austin Grill which, we discovered, has the best quesadillas ever. His wife Emily joined us for awile and then they left while I waited for Mark to finish up at RFK. He got downtown around 7pm and we got to hang out some more. I could definitely be falling for this guy. He's just so wonderful. I get that stupid grin on my face whenever I talk about him...yay!
Friday was yet another Very Good Day. Work was quiet, so I was able to keep track of the 1:05pm Yankees-Red Sox game online, which the Yanks won 12-4. I took my second Access test at the end of the day and scored an 84, which I'm happy with--not overjoyed, but I'll take it. Then, I came home, met up with my roommie and Mark and we trucked over to Glory Days to watch the 8:05pm Yankees-Red Sox game. My family ended up coming out to meet us for dinner and we all just had a really good time. The Yankees won again, 14-11, in the longest 9 inning game in baseball history (4 hours 45 minutes).
