A Funeral Too Far / Opening Day in Seattle / More Selling Business
It's been a crazy week. Last Tuesday, March 27th, a relative on my mother's side of the family died. The deceased and my mother were very close and we began planning a trip to attend the funeral in North Dakota. Problem was, the funeral was to be Friday the 30th, only three days after the unfortunate passing. My mother is terrified of flying and is anxious about travel, so getting her to the midwest in two days would have been impossible. Anyone else find it odd that someone would bury their spouse three days after their death? A couple of my mom's siblings weren't able to make it either because of the short timetable. It was rough. If it were decided that we'd go, it would have been just my mom and me in a rental car driving the 1,500 miles to America's heartland. We would have had to have left immediately. No planning and no time to tell anyone. That would have been an interesting journal entry from the road...
But we didn't go. Because we didn't, I was able to join Val and Franko for a weekend of baseball in Seattle. It was Major League Baseball's first day of the season (Opening Day 2007) and we snagged some nice tickets to catch the first Seattle Mariner's game of the year. I like baseball. I can see how it's boring, but there's nothing like being in a stadium with 50,000 screaming people. I love the stadium they have up there. I mean, just look at it:
That's a pretty bad panorama by yours truly, but it'll do. Yup, we had great seats. It was a great game, too. Seattle won 4 to 0. Since it was Opening Day, there was a lot of fanfare. Lots of fireworks and they even rolled out the red carpet for everyone. Yea, there's nothing like being at the game and going nuts when the home team hits a homer.
I'm officially out of the Nintendo DS sales business. The final DS we had lying around finally sold a few hours ago. I'll mail it off in the morning. Thank god, too; I don't know how much longer I could have stood having it collect dust here. Although, I've got other video game things to sell now. Val and Franko want me to sell their Playstation 2 and Guitar Hero 2 things. It's been a very busy week.
