I’m asked a lot about how much weight I gain during these road trips, with the ballpark food at night and Reubens for lunch.
I lost 1.8 pounds 🤷
I do so much brisk walking around cities during the day and ballparks at night that it offsets the corned beef, BBQ, and sausages.

Heading home.
I’ll fly with Dad to Dallas-Fort Worth, have lunch with him there, then get him to his gate for PDX and me to my separate terminal for SFO

I really appreciate @BiloxiShuckers broadcaster @javblake8 coming down to see me and Dad before the game, and letting me hang out in the broadcast booth while he called the game!
