Ken Griffey, Jr. will be back in Seattle this weekend. And the town is all atwitter. (ok, the Mariner team is, in hopes it will help sell tickets) Gina and I will be there on Sunday and we gave our Saturday tix to someone who cares.
Some folks are holding a really long grudge about his departure (get over it), but for the most part I think people are excited to see him. He was THE REASON to go to M's games in the '90's. You just KNEW something exciting would happen with him in the game. Just don't ask Greta for her memories cuz inevitably she was in the rest room when that something exciting happened. It got to be where we would buy her beers and make subtle suggestions, just so she would have to GO ! we needed homers.
Here are a couple shots of mementos from those glory days. Gina can't believe I have the hat still, but it was part of the birthday package for Greta and myself, the April 1st that our names made it to the big screen. OH YEAH !!!!
The Jr. candy bar has been in our freezer(s) for years now. You never know. But you can tell it's been a while, look how skinny he is in the picture.
Some would say Griffey for President in '96 would be better than what we've been experiencing for the past 7 years . You can form your own opinion.
You might be wondering about the Bernie Kosar bar.... long story involving God knows how many bloody marys and Sunday mornings at the the Univ. Sports Bar and the Browns Backers....
The Joey Cora bar ?? well, he did cry in the dugout... and we did go to a Joey Cora gala event that he sponsored to raise funds for an AIDS organization.... but God knows where or why we got that candy bar.
And of course, don't we all keep some chocolat from Paris in our freezer? oui ! we do. but God knows how long those have been in there? Quel something or other?
And here are the items that are crucial.. Margaret's Citron vodka and the frozen water bottle to ice various body parts.
No, no frozen pot pies, or hamburger meat, or burritos, or pizzas, or popcicles, or leftovers, or.............. just un-edible chocolates, and un-drinkable fluids.

Oh, I wouldn't say that Absolut citron is un-drinkable. I have a wonderful Lemon Drop recipe tht calls for it - plus a few other ingredients. Or, is it un-drinkable because it's Margaret's? Clearly a woman with good taste.
But, on the other hand, have you been saving those old chocolate bars just for the opportunity to someday show pictures of them in your future blog?! I was thinking of starting up a blog myself, but I don't know if I have enough old crap, er..memorabilita, to haul out and put in the photo slots.
Sorry, It's probably rude to dis someone in the comments to their own blog.

All I can say is I hope Ann can start runnng again soon, as the view of the freezer items is a little, um, well, strange.
