In which I find that baseball is not for me.

So. On Friday night we went to PGE park in Portland to see a Beavers baseball game.

Actually, we went to see our church choir sing the national anthem.

I thought maybe I would enjoy the game more than I anticipated.

I have never liked baseball, but I have never been to a real game...only seen it in movies and stuff.
(Like Frequency.)

This is the choir. They sounded awesome.

It turns out I don't like baseball.

I like it even less than I thought I might.

I really liked the beaver guy though.

But at least I experienced it. It wasn't awful.

Mostly just boring.

Me (to Benjamin): Can you imagine having the self-confidence

to stand like this in front of hundreds of people?

Ben: Uh, I would do it.

Sheesh. Boys.

This was a highlight, definitely.

When I got really bored, I read this.

And then Rebekah invited me to sit with her and we talked about how we wished we could dress up 

like beavers and run around with our tails flapping.

Oh, and she understood about the self-confidence thing.

P.S. Those of you who love Leverage--they filmed at least part of the second and third seasons in Portland (!!) and "The Three Strikes Job" was filmed at PGE park. You know the one where Eliot plays baseball? (Still trying to forgive him for actually enjoying it by the end).
