Saturday August 15







Slept til nearly 10:00 am after the long day yesterday. Worked on the blog for about two hours. I decided to enter the mixed and men’s doubles tennis tournaments at Junction City, Oregon’s annual Scandinavian Festival. Bought a pair of tennis shorts at Bi-Mart and got swept in the mixed open division. After the tourney, we headed into Eugene to meet Matt, Rina and the kids at the Eugene Emerald’s baseball game. The Em’s ballpark reminds me a lot of the one in Pittfield, MA. It’s old and is made mostly out of wood. I believe that both ballparks are two of the five oldest in the country. One misplaced cigarette butt could torch that place to the ground. Sadly, it’s the final season at this ballpark as the Em’s will be playing at the baseball complex of the University of Oregon next year.

Highlight of the day was sitting Matt’s backyard around an awesome fire with Matt and his family. Loved the fire in the fire pit.....
