One of the best days ever.
Chilly, about 60 degrees. Pouring down rain. Marc and Alissa here from Kalamazoo. Sara and Nick are here too. Pot roast in the crock pot since 10 a.m. Mashed potatoes, peas, carrots and cornbread. Sweet tea. Cake and ice cream for dessert.
Denny and I saw Switchfoot in concert tonight (along with Robert Randolph, Jars of Clay and Third Day.)

Maybe redemption has stories to tell.
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here.
One of the perks Denny has working at Comerica Bank is frequent tickets to Detroit Tiger games at Comerica Park :) Yesterday, he got two last minute tickets in the Champions Club, which is actually nine suites put together to form a private lounge.
There's a complimentary buffet dinner ... Denny started with some sushi; while I tried a bit of everything including Caesar salad, pork tenderloins with rice, rigatoni and green beans in lemon sauce. A couple of innings later though, we couldn't resist going back for a couple of Ballpark franks. And then there was the visit to the dessert table in about the eighth inning.
There's also alot of Tiger memorabilia in the Club, including the 1968 and 1984 World Series trophies.
Here's the 1968 World Series trophy on the left ---> you can see my reflection in the glass.
In 1968, Denny and I were in sixth grade and although we went to different elementary schools, we both remember our teachers bringing in little black and white television sets so our class could watch the gamesl :)
On the right is a picture that Denny took with his phone so he could send it to Marc (wish you were here!)
Me and Denny watching the game with the Detroit skyline reflecting in the window behind us ....

In the end, the Tigers lost to the Twins 3-2.
But it's not whether you win or lose, right? It's how much you enjoy the game :)
And we did enjoy the game ....
And the post-game fireworks too!

We got a new car today! A brand-new 2007 Ford Edge. The picture's not great, I snapped it on my camera phone to send to Sara (at work) and Marc (at school) as Denny was backing out for work. I forgot how much fun it is getting a new car! And as much as I love my Jeep, I have to admit that this is pretty darn cool ....
So apparently, you either love the song on the commercial or you hate it. For those of you who [like me] love it ... here ya go ...
