08/24/2003 Archived Entry: "Sunday"

I've been off on my days for awhile. Friday I thought it was Saturday, Saturday I thought it was Sunday and today I feel like it's Saturday again! I think it's because of Chris's work schedule. Oh, and I also thought it was last week. I only found out the true date yesterday.
I lied unintentionally last night. I didn't scan a single layout. But I did try. Turns out that I can't scan anymore. Every since we got DSL our system resources have been very low and our pc is picky about how many programs it lets us run. It's just too much of a strain for it to run my scanner software now. We really need a new computer, we're hoping to make that happen sometime in the near future, but we'll see.
Oh, that pic off to the side there is Eric Gagne, star closer for the LA Dodgers. We went to an event today to see him. We got there 90 minutes before he was to show and that just thrilled my child to pieces, let me tell you. We basically stood in the same spot in the sun for well over an hour and then finally we got to move to the queue inside. It was nice and air conditioned there. Gagne walked right by us and I got a pic, but it's blurry *sigh. We finally get up to the table and meet Jim Tracy, manager of the Dodgers. We got to say hi and thank you for signing for us and he actually made eye contact. Then we move in front of Gagne. He could not have wanted to be there any less. He didn't make eye contact and barely looked at what he was signing. I took a pic, but as you can see, it's just of his hat. Kind of a dissappointing experience all around. I don't really blame him for not wanting to be there, who would want to go to a car dealership and sign their name for 2 solid hours and then have to go straight to work? I'm sure he had better ways to spend his Sunday morning. But despite all that, I'm still glad we went and saw him and got his autograph. Now to find a frame for it!
