Pet Diaries

This goes around the internet periodically, but never fails to make me giggle a bit (having owned not only dogs, but also having been responsible for cats).

Braves 10, DiamondBacks 6

My second major league baseball game! Both have been trips to see the Braves in Atlanta – a beautiful ballpark. We were running late due to the service at Famous Dave’s Barbeque being a bit slower than we would have liked – and the parking lot on I-75/85 getting down to the stadium. Aahh! the [...]
