The news headline of the week was hurricane Alex that was bound for south texas/northern Mexico. It made landfall about 100 miles south of brownsville and thankfully didn't cause much damage there. We did get some residual wind and rain here, yesterday it was all wet and overcast and today too, but at least i see the sun starting to peek out. and it's only the start of the hurricane season. but at least we haven't gotten really hot temps like last year, the hotttest it's been so far is 95, compared to last year, when we were on our 2nd week of 100 plus temperatures, this is heaven.
On June 24th we went to the Botanical Gardnes again for the 2nd concert under the stars event. http://sabot.org/. Their featured artist was The Sisters Morales http://sistersmorales.com/.
It wasn't too bad, the day was pleasant, not too hot and the music was soothing. they play mostly mexican urban folk music. they sang one or two songs that i remember from my childhood. that was kinda weird, but it was a good evening.
That's us enjoy the nice weather for a change.
Last Saturday i went to my first professional, although Minor League, baseball game ever. Normally, i wouldn't even think about it, but they gave Joel 4 tickets to the Missions game in town. I jumped at the chance, since one of my new year's resolutions was to try new things. I couldn't find anyone else who was interested, so it was just the two of us. Which, it turned out, was the best thing to do because the seats were so close together. We ended up taking the two seats in the middle, w/one empty seat at each side. that was the best thing about it, we weren't
crowded in or anything.
Even though they ended up losing, it was nice to be outdoors for the evening, since i work 8 hours stuck in a cubicle. They even had a fireworks show afterwards.
