We had tickets for yesterday’s baseball game between the Nationals and the NY Mets. We knew two things. First, that the weather was chancy. Will it or will it not rain? Second, we knew that if we decided not to go, rain would be certain.

The game was delayed about an hour and a half, and here is the story:

The Mets won 2-0, which was of course too bad, but it showed once again how strong Washington’s starting pitching is, as is its defense. The hitting is inconsistent, and that may improve, and I do think the team is competitive and improving. The difference between the teams in this game was only one pitch and one home run. By the way, there were over 33,000 attending, although this included many New Yorkers.

After the game, we went to the American Legion hall in Silver Spring to hear at least the second set of our friends, Little Red and the Renegades.

The music as usual was the best. But did you ever have dinner at the American Legion in Silver Spring? Burger or hot dog, if you eat red meat. If not, fried chicken or fish nuggets, french fries, or fried onion rings. There probably are 100 restaurants in Silver Spring. If so, 99 are better than this one. But not cheaper.

Today, a more relaxing day. Grandkids here this morning. Film this evening.  Nothing in between.
