"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))

Opening Day 2018

29 March 2018:  D'backs open their 20th anniversary season and we were glad to see baseball return.

Traditional pre-game stop - 706 ideal for this kind of thing.


POC had four tickets for us - NOC, CPG, PJ and me were the lucky recipients.  Perfect weather; a short reception out on the 706 patio; and just as with our most recent (and highly enjoyable) trip to the stadium, D'backs beat Colorado.

Perfect night outside the ballpark.




Things also nice inside the ballpark.
