We rang in 2018 at Busch Gardens this year … watching the fireworks display through the skeleton of Gwazi … The park was crowded, but nothing like we’ve seen when we’ve gone to the Disney parks for NYE. There were a lot of ride closures, but with Quick Queue we were able to ride all …
sigh After Brett Gardner’s line single to right field scored two runs to put away Game 5 of the American League Division Series for the New York Yankees, hundreds of crestfallen realists in the Progressive Field stands succumbed to the inevitable. They lugged their disappointment and dashed dreams up the stairs into the night, fully …
For the third time in a row, my Cleveland Cavaliers are the Eastern Conference Champions! They’ll face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, also for the third time in a row: Game 5 against the Celtics was amazing (almost as amazing as Game 2 where they crushed Boston by 44!) and saw the Cavs …
It’s mid-April, which means it’s time for my annual post about spring sports and Linux upgrades! 😉 First, sports … For the first time in four years my Tampa Bay Lightning are not in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They were in last place back in February and just missed squeaking into the last wild card …
Normally my Spring Training vacation doesn’t have a “Day 4” but this time I’m staying in Phoenix to kick off a four-day southwest road trip with my family. My brother had a later flight, as did my sister. So after checking out of the hotel we had time to actually go out for breakfast together …
This morning we had breakfast at our hotel and then drove over to the Cleveland Indians Players Complex in Goodyear to watch their warm-ups and shag some fly balls during batting practice (we each got one). It was Corey Kluber bobblehead day at the ballpark so we were in line to shortly after it opened …
Our morning started out early with a hike up the Echo Canyon Trail to the summit of Camelback Mountain, our annual tradition. It was great weather for the hike and we were in the shade most of the time. It only took us just over an hour to reach the top. After spending about 20 …
It’s been two years since I’ve been out to the Cactus League to watch my Cleveland Indians at Spring Training … but it’s time! The tech arsenal is pretty simple this year: my Surface Pro 4, iPhone 7 Plus, Canon PowerShot SX710, and FitBit Charge 2 (I also brought my trusty Garmin nüvi GPS but ended up …
It was fantastic watching the Cleveland Indians in the 2016 World Series. Unfortunately, after taking a 3 games to 1 lead over the Chicago Cubs, they lost three in a row, including a Game 7 heartbreaker in Cleveland that ended in the 10th inning. The Cavaliers lost to Golden State in the 2015 NBA Finals and …
Incredible! For the first time since 1997 my hometown Indians are going back to the World Series! I’m in Denver on a last-minute, 9 day business trip so I had to “watch” the game via ESPN notifications on my phone, so it doesn’t quite feel real. I can only imaging the energy in Cleveland right …
