The phone call came like an answer to a prayer.
For several days Marathon Girl and I had been discussing when to take some time off and where to go on vacation. The phone rings. On the other end is my friend Brent.
Brent calls just to see how things are going and then mentions that the Tigers will be in town soon to play the Diamondbacks.
The Tigers are coming to Phoenix? I’m stunned. I looked at their schedule back in March and didn’t remember seeing that. I get online and discover that the Tigers do have three game series in Phoenix in mid-May.
Suddenly family vacation plans materialize. A trip to Phoenix to enjoy the company of friends, see their two kids, and squeeze in a Tigers baseball game.
And our trip would coincide with a wonderful event for Brent and his wife. The adoption of their second child is scheduled to be finalized that week and they have some fun things planned in celebration.
We’re still working out the details but it looks like the family heading to Phoenix sometime in mid-May.
Suddenly, I'm not so tired anymore.
