Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be in or near "The City." It is just past 4:00 a.m.

I thought  that I'd start out with a description of last night's activities.

Mary and I traveled to the Waterfront Stadium to see Toppermost, the "Best Beatles tribute band in the nation." That's their claim, and having seen other Beatles tribute bands, I'd say that may well be true. I should mention that the man who portrays Paul is the band's owner, business manager, booking agent, and a teacher in Michigan.

While there, I took some pictures of the band, the channel and the boats of all sizes plying the waters, and Dewey Hill. Here they are, in no particular order.

Their sound and look is very authentic.

This is Tom Diab, the aforementioned band manager and owner, who is also a teacher in MI

People got up and danced in a Conga Line.

As noted, the boats came in all shapes and sizes. Mega bucks, to Kayaks.

Like I said, Toppermost brought the crowd to its collective feet. 

Medium sized.

Mary took this picture of  kayaks to get a perspective on the sizes, shapes, and prices.

A nice "little" boat

The carnival was in full swing, and the lines were long for most rides.

As we left Waterfront Stadium.

A race?

The "Blue Moon."

At any rate, the night was great. STWD had been fed, so she was home and fast asleep, Oops, I mean guarding the house. 

I did get the gardens watered yesterday. I should be good until Saturday. No rain in sight until Sunday, maybe.

Mary printed out her latest project and I got my work assignment. This is another of those three highlighter jobs that I detest. I always end up with as much highlighter ink on me as I do on the pages. 

No trains to spot.

We stopped off at the Post on the way home to see the Tigers nearly lose to the Orioles. They hung in there until the game finished at a final score of 9 - 8. Somewhere in there, they traded their best starting pitcher, David Price, to the Blue Jays. They Tigers to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, as they went from a lead of 9 - 4 when we walked in, to that final score. The boys in blue tried to give away another game to the Brewers, but an Anthony Rizzo home run gave them the lead and they finished at 5 - 2  Still no trades. My beloved Red Sox beat out that other team from Chicago, 8 - 2. The Caps unfortunately fell to the Bowling Green Hot Rods, 3 - 11. Oh well, three out of four isn't too bad.

Today, no particular plans. Playing with the girls, walking with STWD, and that's about it.

The sun will rise at 6:34 a.m., and set at 9:07 p.m. Ciao.
