It's official!  Jeff and I will be going to Spring Training to see the Giants in Scottsdale.  We're just doing a weekend, from March 7-9. 

If anyone is going to be there and wants to meet up, let me know.

I'm also looking for dining and nightlife advice in the Phoenix area.  I have never been to Phoenix before except to make connections at Sky Harbour. 

I suddenly remembered why I hated playing little league last night.  Jeff and took ourselves into the batting cage behind center field at AT&T Park.  I felt just like I did in 2nd grade.  I clearly have zero hand-eye coordination.

Here is Jeff's attempt.  He did much better than I.

And here is mine:

I was lucky enough to make it to the last home game as well.  Not so great for the Giants', but it was nice to be there to say "farewell" to Barry.

The train ride home was really amazing as well.  I met a blind man from Monterey who LOVES going to Giants' games.  I also learned that he too was gay, but he is also a bible study teacher and a musician.  I had a great chat with him about baseball, and I learned a lot about how a blind person can experience and enjoy the game.  I hope to see that guy again soon.

Not only did the Giants win both the Saturday and Sunday games this weekend I went to, but after the game Jeff and I got to run the bases!
