Went to the Mariners game today, which turned out to be a good game
considering recent performances. Near the end of the game in the ninth
inning I noticed something unusual soaring over the stadium. Not one of the
numerous gulls or Rock Doves, but an Osprey! There I was, excitedly pointing
it out to my three eighteen year old male companions, who couldn't have
cared less! Boy, did I feel like a middle-aged geek!
