Well, we're off to Seattle for a week's vacation tomorrow.

I badly need to get away. I'm really looking forward to this trip. We have a Bat Mitzvah out there, we'll be doing some touristy stuff, and we've got tickets to two baseball games. We're seeing the Everett Aquasox on Wednesday. The Aquasox are the Mariners short season Class A afflilate, and the Aquasox were J.'s Little League team this season. He's very excited about seeing the "real" Aquasox.

Sunday we're going to see the Mariners play the White Sox. I'm really looking forward to seeing Safeco Field and pining about how nice it would be to have seats that are designed for 6 footers in Boston.

I'll try to check in from the West Coast a couple of times, and of course there will be detailed reviews of the two ballparks at some point.
