On Monday I got out on two wheels again. However, this time I was using the two-wheeled transportation for which I used to be more well known, rather than the two-wheeled transportation powered by 1099cc of pure steel and sex appeal.

Thanks to Angela, Jeremy and I were able to attend this Monday’s Pirates game versus the Brewers. Jeremy and I decided to ride our bicycles down to the game. I’m glad did the bike thing, as I had not ridden for over two months. Yes, I know. What a waste of the summertime.
Apparently, the tickets were purchased for some big Americorps outing that was cancelled, so the seats were just given away to intersted people in the Americorps program. Angela had work to do, so Jeremy and I went… we were just about the only ones in our entire section, so I’m guessing no one else took those extra tickets. The game was very sparsely attended over all. The scoreboard claimed that the attendence was about 13,200 (out of a 38,496 capacity), but there’s really not a chance that the park was 1/3 full. I’m guessing that they count all of the tickets sold for the game, even if they’re not used. At any rate, the Pirates won, even if there were very few people on hand to see the game.

Here’s a view of the final score:

On Tuesday, I made a return to online poker, after a while away from the vitual tables. I played in the wilwheatondotnet tourney, and man did I play terribly. Seriously. There’s no excuse for such poor performace. It’s no surprise that I was out in 54th place out of 60.

I still owe all of you folks an account of my trip back up to CT over Labor Day weekend. I’ll probably get to it on Thursday or Friday. If I don’t by then, well.. it’s probably not going to happen.
