My Nights at Busch

I've spent this week at Bush Stadium...at least that's what it feels like.  Its been great seeing the Cards WIN!  By the way, I'm 5-0.  So all you Cardinals season ticket holders out there, you might want to invite me along to ensure a W!

Peace,

They did it!

Last night was proof that a team of people, when aligned with vision and will, can accomplish the (almost) impossible. The St. Louis Cardinals had virtually no chance of making the playoffs back in August, but decided they weren't going to give up like most ball clubs do. Instead, they started playing every game like it was game 7 of the World Series. Now, October 17th, we are indeed going to the World Series!

I'm pumped for them, the city, and the game!

Peace,

Great (early Fall) Weekend!

The weather turned absolutely beautiful just in time for the holiday weekend and we've spent the majority of it outdoors. Friday night we enjoyed a 'winning' Cardinals game. It was 72 degrees at the first pitch, and by the 6th inning (when Olive decided she'd had enough) it was 64.
Yesterday I spent some time outside working on the yard and garage before Mizzou kicked Illinois' rear in our first football game of the year. Late yesterday day afternoon we BBQ'ed with some friends and enjoyed more time outside. Late last night, Kate and I read on the porch as the temp continued to drop. 'Twas a perfect night for a stogie!
Today after AWAKEN, we headed out to Centennial Farms to go apple picking. As you can see, we had great success!

Enjoy your day off tomorrow and spend as much time as you can outside...

Peace,
Ross

p.s. i'll post more (& vids) tomorrow of our weekend adventures
