I am enjoying being in one of my favorite cities and at my absolute favorite ballpark in baseball. It should be a near-full house tonight because they have a dual-bobblehead giveaway of Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro.
The weather is fantastic here…probably the mid-60s and sunny. I’m guessing the roof will be open. In the photo below is a view of downtown from my hotel room. Off the distance is the Space Needle. Much further away are some mountains — I’m digging the snow at the tops.
