Boy, I am waaaaay behind on blogging – sorry. Will try to catch up on a couple of events before I post my pictures and blog about my birthday celebration in Exuma.
I had the privilege earlier in the year of attending a speech by President Obama. I went the day before to stand in line for tickets thinking that it would be long and boring. However, it turned into a lively political discussion between like and unlike minds of all ages – to the young conservative Republican father with 3 children waiting to get tickets so his children could see the President, to the elderly woman ready to throw in the towel, disgusted with politics and politicians, to the 18 year old student so excited to finally be able to vote, to me and you all know my politics!
Standing in line
Got it! There’s my ticket!
Secret service agent talking into his wrist phone…
Gov. Strickland’s introduction….
Here he comes…….
Taking his jacket off before he speaks
Yes, he was that close to me!!!!
Soon after this memorable event – what a thrill it was for me to see the President and listen to his remarkable speech – another memorable event came along – Opening Day for the Cleveland Indians!! Jack and I rode the train downtown on a beautiful, sunny day to participate in this fun day! It looks sunny in the pictures but it turned out to be cold in our seats – that wind off Lake Erie! We played the Texas Rangers and lost but that was ok – it was a great day anyway! In order to avoid the crowds on the train after the game (imagine – a city that actually has mass transit to the burbs and people use it!!) we dined at the Hard Rock Cafe near the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – how iconic is that!!
Here’s Slider!
Play ball!!!
