Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here

Or many of them, anyway, when Melvin and I toured the Upper Midwest in late-August, early-September.

Haldeman, behind the wheel, and Melvin

Watson was along on the first and last days, and Red joined us for a Twins game. Haldeman, who made cameo appearances in 2017 and 2019, went the distance this year.

We went.

If you read the previous post and were wondering if we went to Nevada and California, we did.

And we went to Manzanar National Historic Site, as mentioned.

Season Preview 2022

Okay, yeah, it's been a long time and a lot has changed. Let's leave it at that.

Like the Mets, Rob started the season on the road, watching the team outlast the Phillies yesterday, 9-6, in an ugly, four-hour, 12-pitcher, matinee. On Sunday, Melvin will see the White Sox host the Rays, the first of many games he will attend at Guar'rate Field. Let's hope that goes better. (It didn't.)

After a couple of aborted attempts, it looks like we will at last get to Northern California and Nevada this June. Trip planning has prompted questions like, Manzanar National Historic Site or the Clown Motel? How stark a choice is that?
