“I see great things in baseball.” – Walt Whitman

“. . ., spring training is not really baseball. It’s imitation baseball. It’s a bunch of people doing impressions of baseball. It’s that way in the stands, too. Hohokam Park in Mesa, Arizona, is a little Wrigley Field, with lots of blue caps, knots of people from Chicago’s near north side (there are Soba noodles available for them) and Arlington Heights and Des Moines (fried pork loin sandwiches are available for them), like members of some university club in a distant city, all reliving moments displaced not so much in time as in place. Even Ronnie Woo is there, the legendary and ageless Cubs fan dressed in blue pinstripes and warming up his “Cubs woo!” cry for the coming season.” — from “Letter from Spring Training (Mesa, Arizona)” by Peter Ferry

Meeting Dave Parsons In Tempe   1 comment

Kenne Joy Dave at Mucho Gusto In Tempe2 blogKenne, Joy and Dave On the Mucho Gusto Mexican Bistro Patio — Image taken by Clint on my iPhone

Yesterday, we drove to Tempe, Arizona (about two hours away) to have dinner with our good friend, Dave Parsons. Dave had brought a Longstar College student (Clint) to take part in a handball tournament at Arizona State University. 

After checking in at the Wild Horse Pass Casino & Resort in Chandler, we headed to Mucho Gusto’s on University in Tempe — a super Mexican Bistro. 

So glad Dave let us know he was going to be in our neck of the woods.

Kenne with His Hiking Friends Tom and Kristin, January 7, 2013 — Images taken with kenne’s D800

On the 7th of January the Monday Morning Milers hiked the Alamo Springs Trail, returning on the Wild Burro Trail near the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain in the Tortolita Mountains. The Golf Club at Dove Mountain is host to the  Accenture Match Play Championship this February. The view I prefer of the golf course is from the Alamo Springs Trail.

This Friday I will again be hiking Alamo Springs, assisting in the weekly Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists hikes.
