Opening Day | 28 | 2.8 | #44

Today was the long-awaited Opening Day of the 2012 Altoona Curve season. Rare bird Katie Sekelsky designed the commemorative T-shirt for Opening Day, and was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the season. We were privileged to watch the game with her in one of Peoples Natural Gas Field's skyboxes.

Sunday is Fat Peppy's 15th birthday. To celebrate, Katie came over for more pitching practice, and then we had potato tacos and this 1997 Suduiraut.

Pitchers & Catchers Report | 28 | 2.8 | #19

My friend Katie Sekelsky designed a T-shirt to commemorate the 2012 Opening Day for the Altoona Curve, the Eastern League (AA) affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In appreciation for her design, she has been invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch for Altoona’s season.

Today she came over to begin training for her pitch.

Lancaster

After writing yesterday’s post about Sparrow Songs’ film about Trona, I checked out their earlier films and realized they’re following me around, at least in some time-reversed Merlinesque sense.

After I finished grad school, the Spousal Unit and I moved from Ridgecrest to Lancaster, California, in the Antelope Valley. It’s an aerospace town, home of the Lockheed Skunk Works, and not far from Edwards AFB. The street names reflect the engineering sensibilities of the area: We lived on Avenue J-7, which was the seventh of fifteen streets between Avenue J and Avenue K. The town was an interesting mélange of engineers and recently-released prisoners and their (often quite extended) families.

This Sparrow Songs documentary concerns the local California League (A) baseball team, the Lancaster Jethawks. The Jethawks gave away the best free gift I’ve ever received for attending a sporting event: A Burt Rutan bobblehead.
