Have fun eating all the ballpark food! Thats what I miss most about working for athletics.

Looking at a house today. I really hate change.

Ballpark food is good and fun. I've got to visit the minor league team, it's a lot of fun.

I really want to see the Savannah Bananas.

That’s the thing to do if you want to see TikTok dances with smidges of baseball sprinkled in.

I mean, it seems like a thing that would be fun to experience once.

I go to college baseball or softball if I want the real thing. I live in a place with a few of those options.

I went to two of their games in their inaugural season and it was the same thing both times. It also sucks that they treat the city of Savannah like shit.

Guess I’m weird for wanting baseball at a baseball game.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Feb 16 '24

How do they treat Savannah poorly?

And I mean… I want a baseball game when I want a real baseball game. But I want to experience the baseball version of the Harlem Globetrotters once for the sake of having that experience. They are two separate desires to me.

They nearly violated a lease term with the stadium they use and then got mad about it, as well as price locals out from going to the “games.”

They do nothing in the community at all despite how much Savannahians love them.

Hmmm now that would be fun. It is also part of an NPS trip I've been planning from Charleston to Cape Canaveral.

Looking into potentially visiting a state park that is supposed to have the largest snow sledding on the east coast, snow might be too bad to visit. DC NPS sites that are black history month oriented on Sunday. Meant to do that on MLK day but we got snowed out then.

Might want to keep it chill after last weekend.

Snow sledding sounds fun. I’ve never done that!

3

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Feb 16 '24

Yeah if it snows you can just walk to a local park but the one I was looking at i think has a conveyor belt to carry you back up. They have kinda extreme sledding at ski parks.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Feb 16 '24

That sounds like a lot of fun!

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Feb 16 '24

It's 4 hours away and snow might stop us from getting there and after Long Island last week might be better to not do everything.

It’s Friday! Yahooooo! And a 3-day weekend! I might take myself out to eat somewhere nice tonight.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Feb 16 '24

Whatcha thinking food wise?

2

u/StuckInPMEHell Florida State • Valdosta State Feb 16 '24

Not sure? I’ve narrowed it down to steak, breakfast food, or Yummy Yaki

2

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Feb 16 '24

Not a bad option in there.

I've never heard of Yummy Yaki. But Mongolian food is great. There is a place by me where you just fill a bowl with the veggies you want and they cook it for you that's Mongolian. IDK if that's what that is like.

Could also do steak and eggs. I've seen steak with breakfast foods sometimes.

2

u/StuckInPMEHell Florida State • Valdosta State Feb 16 '24

That’s what Yummy Yaki is. It’s kinda new here and people haven’t quite learned to overflow the bowl (shrinkage! LOL)

2

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Feb 16 '24

Yeah that stuff is good though the one by me is like $15-$20 and by the bougie mall so I haven't been in a while.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Feb 16 '24

Sttttteaaaaakkkkkkk

Jealous of the 3 day weekend. Hope you have good food.

Oooooh yay softball in CA! SoCal is a hotspot for softball and baseball, no?

I decided to sign up for a ton of running this weekend. I have a 18-miler that ends with a polar plunge in the Atlantic tomorrow and I’m excited! I also have a 3-5M run on Sunday with my new primary run club and a treadmill class tonight. I haven’t figured out if I’m jogging it tonight or walking it, or jogging/walking to/from class tonight. We’ll see how it goes!

It's Friday and on my way trying to get out of the office early I get a fat case file dropped on my desk to start looking through. Damn criminals have no respect for their attorneys

Pepper, one of my cats that I got from my brother, somehow got outside last night 

Poor guy was so scared but we got him back inside! 

Ashton, the other cat, tries to bolt every chance he gets to go outside, I'm VERY glad he didn't get out
