Speaking of Balls...

If you're in the tri-state area and want something fun to do tonight, you should head to Miller Park and watch the Milwaukee Brewers play the New York Mets. The most important part of the game will be at the very beginning though, because my good friend Todd is going to throw the ceremonial first pitch! We're all VERY excited about this, and know he'll do a tremendous job. I have no doubt that he'll be discovered there and before you know it will be a pro-ball player himself.

Todd happens to be the husband of one of my oldest (timeline, not age-wise) friends, "Scooter". She was supposed to be with him on the baseball field, undoubtedly wearing some adorable Brewer maternity gear, but she's been put on bed rest for now-- in an effort to keep those twins in the oven until closer to her actual September due date.

I'm sure at game time she'll put on one of those big foam fingers and will cheer her man on from home, though. She might even start her own one-person-carrying-two-babies version of the wave while she's at it. They're supportive of each other like that.


I took this photo at their wedding several years ago. Don't expect him to wear the tux tonight, it's a little formal for the occasion.


The first reason to go to the Brewers game tonight is to see Todd pitch. The second reason is to see the famous "Incredible Edible Sausage" race. That's what she said.

Anyway, GO TODD!
