At the ol' ball game
The college baseball season has started and Saturday we made the first stop on the 2007 tour of Triangle area stadiums. It was a beautiful day for baseball in Chapel Hill as we watched the UNC Tar Heels cruise to victory over the Stony Brook Seawolves, 8-2 in the first game of a double-header. UNC is ranked No. 1 after losing the College World Series last year to Oregon State.
In several ways it was a different experience from our days at Dick Howser in Tallahassee. It was a thirty minute drive instead of a 10 minute bike ride and the crowd was much more subdued. We (or at least I) missed the Animals. And the stadium is in much need of next year's planned renovations. The biggest surprise was that despite a test on Monday, our favorite SRNA joined Sam and I. Spring fever has hit the nurse anesthetist class of 2008.
Sunday Sam and I got out of the house to allow for a more conducive study atmosphere. After church we headed downtown to the NC Museum of History for a production of 'Jack and the Wonderbeans' by the NC Theatre for Young Children out of UNC-Greensboro. The students did a great job keeping all the kids enthralled. We particularly enjoyed the giant puppet costumes when Jack climbed the bean stalk.
