The Heysi Missive

Steve, I’m flabbergasted. The Yankees?! This is a terrible revelation. I need some time to process this. I’ll be in touch (maybe).
I'm actually really only going to the ball park. The team playing just happens to be the Yankees.......can't say I've visited all of the major league ball parks if I don't go to Yankee stadium.

Steven is what they call in the sports world "easy".
Hey....I'll be going to Giants stadium at some point.
 
..can't say I've visited all of the major league ball parks if I don't go to Yankee stadium.
Come to Pittsburgh, home of the best ballpark in MLB. We can do an afternoon game. Those are the best games, because the game starts in the sunshine and finishes at night with the skyline lit up. Seeing the transformation is awesome. And hey, we don’t suck this year!
 
Its that time of year here in Vegas when ordering things through the mail requires considering if it will arrive as a solid object or a small, messy puddle. Recently ordered a gift for the wife's birthday....nothing that might melt or boil inside its container.....but the person I bought it from thought it would be a nice thing to add a couple of small caramel candies into the package....as a way to stand out from the crowd....I guess. Fast forward to me standing in the bathroom washing melted caramel off the outside of two future birthday gifts.....the entire room smelling like wonka's chocolate factory....and I'm trying to pass it off as a bit too much aftershave on my part so she doesn't guess that her gift has arrived. I mean....its only 109 degrees where you're shipping this melty candy....what could go wrong?

Also got to experience the joy that is an outdoor event in a city where its 108 degrees at 9:20 pm. I love baseball ........but this time of year its so much more appealing to be sitting on my couch with a beer watching the game on tv. Silly me....I bought a half season ticket package. Yep....44 games! 3 months of which are played in temps above 100 degrees. As of this weekend, the sunday games have now moved to 6 pm....when its still over 100 degrees!! At least the sun is not pounding down on my seat at that hour.

Shave wise.......not much has changed....well, the soap has. I used up all the custom made soap CBL soaps taught us to make at the TSC Con. So I'm using Dread Pirate Roberts....which (and my opinion is pretty undefeated in this discussion) is the best smelling soap on the planet.

The blade has reached its peak efficiency and removes the beard smoothly and cleanly. No weepers....no irritation. I wish they came out of the package this perfect.

See ya Later!!
