Oh my goodness oh my goodness!


Wow. That was the best game I have EVER been to. After Friday's devastating loss, there was only a slim, slim chance of us making the playoffs. Basically, the padres had to lose both of their remaining games, and we had to win both. It was pretty sad.

Well...go figure....WE DID IT! I was pretty disappointed, getting to Coors field to find San Diego winning 3-0. Because what we did didn't matter unless they lost. Well, everytime the score was shown for the san-diego-milwaukee game, the crowd went totally wild....milwaukee came back to win 11-4!! and the Rockies won in a great, 4-3 nailbiter! YAHOOOOOOOO! Even better, we are going to the tiebreaker game tomorrow for the wild card spot with the Padres-Thanks Chris! Yippee!

No, it's ROCK-tober! Who needs football?

Don't be bitter, just convert, already!

The game is at 5:37, so all us working-stiffs can go.

Sorry, Deb, this is from a Rockies blog, and it's true: "Anyone else feel gypped that the lowly Cubs who are only 84-76 clinched? It's the best argument yet against the current division system. The Cubs could potentially finish 7th place in the league and still make the playoffs. Do you really want the 7th place team representing your league in the World Series?"

Our record is STILL better, and if we were in your division, you'd be out!!

Raja Ampat Part 4: Fam Islands

Image
 No trip to Raja Ampat is complete without visiting the picturesque Fam Islands. Pictures don't do them justice, but here are a bunch of pictures anyway! First we went to the main Fam Islands hike. It was short and steep and breathtaking in more ways than one!  See the islands on the left of the 100000 rupiah note? They should look familiar! We also hiked up to the Star Lagoon. This was a much steeper scramble, not recommended for the unsteady, the flip-flop wearers, or those with a fear of heights.

Raja Ampat Part 2: The Resort

Image
 Listen, normally I am not the type of person to leave a whole post on a resort. Because,  1. I'm a teacher and I can't afford to stay nice places 😆 2. Actually I do budget a lot of money for travel but I'd rather go basic for 3 weeks than all-out for one week. This is an exception. When I checked into my room I felt like I should have been there on my honeymoon.  (There's always the future....Mr. Right, are you reading this right now?!?) Anyway I'm making an exception because otherwise what will I do with these gorgeous room pictures, right?? The place I stayed is called Papua Diving-and they have 2 places you can stay, Sorido Bay or Kri Eco Resort. Due to covid, Kri Eco Resort hadn't reopened-it might be where I had stayed if it was an option-so I stayed at Sorido! Without further ado, here are those pics.  While Sorido Bay had a couple of bungalows for families, I didn't see those. Most lodging is these smaller individual bungalows spread out along the b

Week in Review (updated with pix & video)

Image
You know life has been hectic if the Rockies made it into the World Series almost a week ago, I was at the game, and no posting has occurred yet! Okay. Monday. Got into a minor fender-bender on the way downtown which really delayed things. Then my battery died, from having the hazards on. At that point, I figured my day had to get better, because it really couldn't get worse. It did (get better, that is). :) The Rockies beat the Diamondbacks, 6-4, and SWEPT the series (again; more broom pictures to be posted later) to win the National League Pennant and a pass to the World Series, for the first time ever!!!! It was very exciting, needless to say. After the game, they presented the NL pennant and had a little ceremony. The game was really long, it started at 8:18pm and at 10:00 it was only the 4th inning. The only reason this was important was because...I had to pick Toni up at the airport AFTER the game! So that happened at about 1am, then I drove him up to his house in Lafayette.
