But not in that order!  Went to the Angels vs. Yankees game last night.  What a fun baseball game!  It was close the whole way, the lead kept switching  back and forth.  The Yankees started off with a run in the first inning, much to the glee of the plentiful Yankee fans at the ball park.  Then the Angels answered back with three runs of their own in the 2nd inning. 

Things got very tense in the sixth when the Yanks pulled ahead on a two run homer.  The Angels answered with 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh.  Then the Yanks scored another two runs to tie it up.  In the end, it went 10 innings, there were controversial calls that kept me closely involved in the game and...the Angels won.  What a great night of baseball!

We went with our local friends, Tom and Renee', and enjoyed all things baseball (beer, hot dogs, peanuts, the National Anthem, the seventh inning stretch, leaving early to avoid traffic--and so Tom could be fresh for his early morning corporate gig today--and catching the final moments of the game on TV...doesn't get more Americana than that)! It was, however, not a good way to start the food diary.  Ah well.

We also have progress on the Great Landscape project of 2007.  The patio cover is almost complete.  The spa is full of water and "curing."  Now it's just a matter of finishing up the softscape, getting the putting green in, and finishing up the design elements of the patio cover.  Oh, and we'll need some furniture.  We're not at the end of the road yet, but I can see it from here!

Now, if I can avoid the beer and peanuts tonight, all will be well. 

Patio cover from the top looking down.  We're going to add some copper art (eventually).
