Mariner's Game w/ Jess

My friend, Jessica, got two free tickets (in a luxury suite) to the "Turn Back the Clock" Mariner's Game. And she invited me! :)

"Turn Back the Clock" night meant old school uniforms, mid-inning games, awesome old music, etc. It was really fun!

Ichiro, getting ready to hit a big one.
Ken Griffey, Jr. To me, when I was growing up, this man was the personification of the Mariners.
And now he's back in Seattle again! :)
7th inning stretch meant pictures in the luxury suite.

Final Score: We lost. :( But I still love the M's!

Windermere Cup

Many of you know that, when I was in high school, I had a deep desire to want to learn how to row. In fact, I wanted to go to Seattle Pacific University simply because they had a good crew team. Unfortunately, SPU was too expensive...and therefore I ended up at SBU instead. One letter change, but drastically different overall. One difference is that, sadly, SBU didn't have a crew team. Despite that, I've kept my desire to learn how to row. Some day I will.

In the meantime, I just watch. And lucky for me, the city of Seattle is a fan of rowing as well. Seattle hosts the annual Windermere Cup, at the Montlake cut. Teams from all over travel here to compete. And I got to watch. :)

Revive, Brandon Heath, and Third Day concert

One of the perks of working for Medical Teams International is that I hear about upcoming concerts early. One of the cons of working for Medical Teams International is that I can only afford the CHEAP seats. But alas, the view is different but the music is the same. And it was good.

Prior to the concert, I decided to pass the time taking random photos.

See that WAAAY in the background? Yeah, that's the stage.

The evening started out with a new Australian Christian band called Revive. They were good, but not GOOD. So I didn't get any photos. Sorry.

After Revive, Brandon Heath came on stage. He was a huge draw for why I bought the tickets. I heard Third Day was coming, and considered going. But when I found out that Brandon Health was coming as well, I just couldn't resist.

Brandon on stage (yes, I realize I need a telephoto lens. *sigh*)

Dad and me with Brandon in the background...whom you can't see because Dad's head was blocking the view. :(
And then THIRD DAY

This was awesome. It was a very worshipful portion of the concert. I love being in a community of believers, collectively worshipping our Lord with song. :)

And the finale...when the lead singer of Revive and Brandon Heath joined Third Day. Very nice way to end the concert indeed.

Do you see what I see?

I got glasses. Aren't they lovely? They are for distance, but I definitely don't have to wear them all the time. I have 20/20 vision, but these correct to 20/15. I find that they certainly help when focusing on something for a long time...like projects on the computer, movies, sporting events, etc. I'm quite surprised with the difference in sharpness and colour now. Yay!

Cinco de Mayo

Told ya it would be good. :)

Oh how I love my co-workers
