I went to bed last

I went to bed last night with the Astros playing in the 12th inning. I didn’t even stay up to watch the end of the game. I was too disgusted with the team after the bullpen (Springer and Lidge) gave up a seven run lead in two innings. When Roy Oswalt left after 7, the score was 9-2. 9-2! Come on, what team doesn’t win that!? But then Russ Springer gave up a three-run homer to Tadahito Iguchi in the 8th. And then “closer” Brad Lidge gave up a grand slam to Iguchi (yes, same guy) in the 9th. Come on. Fire the entire bullpen and start over or something.
I had a nice weekend with Mom in town, and of course we managed to stay busy despite not really having any plans set in advance! Saturday afternoon we joined Jose, Gavin, Jen, Becca and Carolyn for a matinee of Cars, which was really funny and better than I expected. I just don’t understand how Pixar consistently manages to come up with creative, clever, and entertaining movies! They are awesome.
Yesterday I got up and did my scheduled bike ride. It was sooo hot, even at 10 a.m., but I got the miles in — 20.1 miles in 1:15:21 or an average of 16 mph.
I got home just in time to see the replay of David Beckham’s crazy free kick goal that took England to a 1-0 win. It was one of the many sporting events Mom and I watched when we weren’t out and about. We watched a lot of baseball (both the Astros and the College World Series), and a lot of soccer. Mom remarked last night to Jose about how much sports we’ve watched, and Jose just said “That’s what Sarahs do to you.” I had to laugh.
P.S. Vic, Gavin, and anyone with a Yahoo email address, you’ll be happy to know that comments should work for you again. Turns out I’d mistakenly blocked the entire Yahoo domain from being able to comment. Oops. 😉
