During said free time, I was able to catch dinner with Mr. Sheets (a Maumee-ian!) yesterday, which was an excellent change of pace-- both a fancy dinner and the taste of home. He's been spending a ton of time in Sac Town lately on the job, something I know a bit about, so it was a good time to meet up and spend an hour or so chatting over food.
With my remaining free time I've started the move out process. My apartment complex knows I'm leaving at the end of the month, and I've started to try and move my bed/desk/chair via Craigslist. If they sell they sell, if they don't...well, oh well. Pretty soon I will have to start worrying about getting all the utilities turned off, get the mailing address changed back to M-Town and start packing.
Dad's trying to make it to Sac Town July 28, with that plan having us leaving Sunday morning. Ah, I-80, I can't wait to get reacquainted (shudders). If all goes as planned, we could be home either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on how motivated we get on the trip back. West to East is usually harder (losing an hour a day instead of gaining an hour wihle driving). We shall see...
Back to MiLB though. I'm taking off to Modesto (home of the Nuts!) today to gather some info for a batch of 'On Location' stories due this week for the Farm's Almanac. It's really ridiculous to think back to how stressed this set of three stories used to make me. Now having two or three days to write them seems like an eternity. I'll just have to make them the best yet, I guess!(Pictures from the adventure will be posted, as usual.)
For now, enjoy this week's edition of the Pioneer League and Northwest League notebooks. Brockman's Helena Brewers are in the the race for first in their division in the PIO, while Paul's Yakima Bears are getting a taste of the cellar in the NWL. Can you feel the excitement!?
