Get Thee to Detroit

White Sox vs. Tigers
We went to the White Sox vs. Tigers game on Friday night, partly compliments of my company, which hosts a yearly outing to Comerica Park. It was a nice night for baseball, and there were fireworks after the game ended. Unfortunately for Tigers fans, those were the only fireworks that night, except for Miguel Cabrera’s two-run homer, which accounted for all of the Tigers’ scoring in their 8-2 loss. Justin Verlander, a pitcher who is on the short list of AL Cy Young award candidates, had trouble living up to expectations as last night’s starter, although few pitchers would be able to live up to those expectations. The Tigers are now in a close second place to Cleveland in their division.


In short, a battle was lost, but the war is still on. Go Tigers!


I have said before that I really like the city of Detroit – they have more to offer than many think, and have had their reputation sullied by many other problems. Comerica Park is an incredible place, as is Ford Field, the Fox Theater, the nearby Henry Ford complex, and many other buildings and attractions. We’re lucky to be so close. Go Detroit!

News from the World of Mouth Metal
The word "orthodontist" has been spoken quite often lately at our house, and the next few years will provide M with first-hand knowledge of modern science's best practices in tooth management and movement. That same time span will provide J and me ample opportunity to use the phrases "out-of-pocket expenses", "not covered", "lifetime maximum benefits", and "notice that I've post-dated that check to January 1, 2017".

Hotter weather is coming - stay inside, or, if you can't stay inside, at least try to put some ice cubes in your cold drink.
