Another Midnight Ride

August 17, 2006 | Stories From The Road

Well, we did it again. We took off Wednesday night again for Duluth for the rubber game of the semi-finals. Turned out it was really worth it. Again, it was a great baseball game, highlighted for us by Nate’s triple in the top of the 7th to score TB’s 4th run. They won 4-1. In the photo, you see Char and me to the right of Mike and Connie, the parents of one of Nate’s teammates from SMSU. Behind us you see the TB Border Cats crowd, quite a vocal bunch. It was crazy, but fun, doing this again. On the way home I was so tired I had to let Char drive early on. She drove most of the trip home. So by the time I showed up for work on Thursday morning, I had had 8 hours sleep in 48 hours. Worth every minute of it. Never give your soul to a company at the expense of your family. Never.

About BoomerTrekker

When you travel, only one of two things can happen: something good or something bad; either way, you have a story to tell.

Boomertrekker.com is the cave wall on which I try to etch the stories and pictures of my travel experiences. You will find stories of setting out to go one place, but arriving at another; of finding, quite by accident, experiences that I could not have anticipated; of meeting and becoming friends with people whose language I cannot speak. Sometimes you will find me paralyzed and out of my comfort zone, as I was in Cambodia when I regretfully let pass my opportunity to eat a cricket. At other times, I hope you marvel, as I have, at the intelligence and ingenuity and inventiveness of ancient peoples everywhere. These are the stories I tell here. They are the stories of my travels to foreign lands in which I am the foreigner. Read More
