This year it was David Marquez , Mic, and myself. No kids. We drove David's big truck. A full day down, then another back. We watched Borat in the car. Very nice.

 The freeways are heaven -- very clean and well decorated. They really stick with that southwestern motif.

 All of us at the game on Sunday, packed on the lawn in left field. We met Rob and Corey.

 Then golf at Greyhawk on Monday. First hole, everybody still smiling.

David at Greyhawk.

Then Tues at Surprise stadium vs Texas Rangers, Barry hit one out.

Russ Ortiz pitched well.

F16s were flying overhead all day long. Luke AFB nearby.

 Todd Linden made a great diving catch in center to end the inning. Here, coming in from the field, he tossed the ball over the dugout, right into my hands. OK, I had to stretch a bit to take it from the guy next to me, but I guess I wanted it more than him.

We left the game at Surprise and about two hours later were at Alex's game in Scottsdale. Major commute traffic. Alex pitching

 Alex drilled this one.

Wed Dennis peeled away from work and treated David, Mic, and myself to a wonderful afternoon at Troon North Pinnacle Course.. We all played pretty well considering it was extremely difficult. My camera batteries died.

Thurs. game at Giants stadium. Mic and I decided we would drop in and pick up seats at the stadium. We scored these two seats behind the Giants dugout for $15 ea. We saw a great lightning show during the game, but eventually got poured on in the 7th. David played another round..yikes! We had Dennis' car, and we had some time to kill, so we stopped off at the Dirty Dogg Saloon. Good times..

Driving home passed the Windmill farms in Palm Springs

Back home...waterfall at Hood Mtn Park.
