Sorry I didn't make it over to sit with you guys at the game. There didn't look to be any empty seats around you and we had a pretty good view as it was.

Minnehaha Falls is a GREAT spot for this event. There is playground equipment for kids, a waterfall 50 yards away and a beautiful picnic area protected by huge oak trees. Fantastic. Thanks to all who came and enjoyed what was a truly fun day. I should point out that I wore the Ruth jersey so that people would recognize me even if they hadn't met me before.

What a pretty spot for the Convention. I especially enjoyed the shot of Will telling some fish tale to fresh-faced ubelmann. "I once threw a curveball that broke thiiiiis far!" clearly, ubes wasn't buying it. In fact, I think he was working out some equations right there on the picnic table during the story.
