"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Early season baseball

In addition to access to tickets via POC and the general fun-ness of being at professional baseball games, we have an additional reason to head down to Chase Field:  as mentioned midway through this post, we have a great place to stop off on game day.
Opening Day 2013

Opening Day 2013 was back on Monday, April 1, 2013.  The crew at 7th St & Washington outdid themselves with game-day hospitality on a perfectly beautiful evening.  Tickets; parking; pre-game drinks, appetizers, grilled chicken sandwiches; opening day win over St. Louis Cardinals in front of a sell-out crowd.  Hard to beat, a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Then back to the ballpark on April 9 to observe CPG's birthday.  Though oops, Dbacks lost pretty convincingly that evening.  But PJ and I had fun with CPG, and POC was able to stop by for an inning or so.
