Catching A Late Season Rockies Game With Mark and Friends

I went to see the Colorado Rockies play the San Francisco Giants Tuesday night with Mark, his friend Tristan and Tristan's mother Lorraine.  It was raining pretty hard before the game, stopped for a while, and then started up again just as we sat down.  We moved under the overhang until it stopped, and although the game was delayed for an hour, the rain had stopped for good, thank goodness.  Mark (seen in the photograph above) has just returned from cruising Northern Europe, and had lots of tales to tell about his Baltic adventures.  Mark's twin brother Mike, who works for the Denver Botanical Gardens, feels the same way about plants that Mark feels about soccer, and so Mark and his family visited 4 botanical gardens on the trip.  Mike himself visited 6.  I say way too many botanical gardens for one trip.  I think the EU should limit those visits to 2.  Call Brussels immediately.
