The good news is the NE received some much needed rain. The bad news is that it was a Nor’easter. The good news is the storm is not really severe. The bad news is I really do not know what Nor’easter means. The good news is the ponds are full. The bad news is the roads are full. The good news is the plants have been watered. The bad news is the plants are gone. The good news is traffic on the roads is light. The bad news is traffic is no longer on the road (in the ditch or median seems to be the preferred place to “drive”.) The good news is that I am not in New Jersey – I finally made it back to my family in Oklahoma. That, for me, means there is no "bad news."

Today I traveled to Baltimore and after joining up with Jim Reagor - ended up at Camden Yard where we watched the Royals get thumped by the Orioles 8-1. Even though the Royals lost - it was still a lot of fun. We had great seats - just 5 rows off the field just past third base so the view was great (I think I was the only Royals fan in our section). The ballpark is beautiful and it was neat to be in downtown Baltimore. I hope to be able to go to all the ballparks in our "area" over the next several years. It was good to relax and enjoy the game. Maybe the Royals can win tomorrow night!
