21: August 11, 2007 - Brooklyn Cyclones Baseball

With great thanks to Mario, a group went "out to the ball game" and saw the Brooklyn Cyclones play the Auburn Doubledays on Saturday evening. It was superhero night, which meant that fans were encouraged to dress as a superhero. Most of the workers at the ball park were dressed up too, as you can see in the photo album.

The outcome of the game wasn't great for the hometown team (3-0 loss), but the group had a good time and got out to the ocean side. After the game, several of us strolled on the boardwalk, took in some local culture and enjoyed a little M&M's Vanilla Fudge ice cream (better NOT to look at the Nutrition Facts when buying ice cream, eh?).

No positive RSVPs for some "Spontaneous Fun" so Jill will be keeping her ideas under wraps for future use!

Hope you are all having a safe and restful summer. Remember to RSVP to Mark (mark.elsenheimer@gmail.com) if you want to come to the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball game on Saturday August 11th!

[19: July 28, 2007 - Movie Matinee]

The plan was for a contingent to go see "Ratatouille".

Cosmic forces must have interfered, and it was not to be. (On the upside, David was able to read his golf magazine for almost 1/2 hour!)

Maybe next time ... maybe too many activities too close ... maybe too many people who weren't away had already seen the movie?

18: July 22, 2007 - WNBA Game

For the second season in a row, Stephanie has been able to score some WNBA tickets for the group (yeah Stephanie!). This year the game was Sunday afternoon with the New York Liberty hosting the Seattle Storm.

The blogger had to be out of town on business (actually, just stepping off a plane in London at the time of the tip-off), but the report was that the game was good, the food was plentiful, birthday(s) were celebrated, and balloons were balanced. It sounds like it was a great time, and I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

WOW! I just checked the box score for the game and it was only a 2-point loss by the Liberty. Heartbreaking, but so close!
