Raining

No comedy today, but an interesting one. There were some friends of mine and Sam's from Havertown here this weekend. This morning we went down to Eastern Market, which is a farmers market/flea market/other stores. I didn't eat anything, but it looked like a nice place. Lots of fresh fruit stands and homemade jewelry for sale. We came back in the afternoon and hung out. I fell asleep on the couch for my first nap in a long time.

Around 6 we left to go to the Nationals game. After about an hour of various forms of travel we arrived and bought our tickets for only $12. We got to our seats and watched an inning and a half of baseball, when everyone was told to go underneath the concourse for protection from the rain. What followed was a three hour rain delay, during which we were given little information, and all but 3,000 of the original 20,000ish decided to leave. But we were resolute and hung in there. When play resumed about three hours later, we took our well-deserved seats right up the first base line. We saw a grand slam and a bunch of other home runs, the Nats won 13-1. Overall, a nice baseball experience. Some quality DC time today.
