I was on my way home for Bowling Green yesterday. My trip took me past Jacob’s Field, and I was inspired to take this picture from my inexpensive camera phone. At about 60 miles per hour. The image turned out pretty good (click for a larger version).
The game being played at the time turned out even better, as the Cleveland Indians secured the American League Central championship. Go Tribe!
The Indians Win! My camera phone captured the Indians celebrating on the field and the fans exchanging high fives in the stands after the Tribe beat the Tigers. My generous employer gave the staff a day at the ballpark. We saw my beloved Wahoos dash the hopes of the Motor City Kitties by completing a sweep. So now the magic number is three.
Not the singer, not the guy at the theater with a flashlight, not the fellow who tries to squeeze “just two more” in an already packed pew.
I was a professional usher for the Lake County Captains in 2003. My brush with greatness was asking Fausto Carmona to please move the case to the video camera out of the aisle. Safety first, people!
My big brother recently emailed a few pictures of me in my role as a minor league usher. I’ll post soon.
I am participating in the Race for the Cure in Cleveland. This year the 5k race (I’ll walk) will occur September 15. Please pledge your support for breast cancer education and research at my race page.
Thank you!
Much of my daily work life is concerned with developing, promoting and protecting my clients’ brand. I’m not the only marketing type to recognize that individuals have a brand and the associated brand promise, as well. The most obvious individuals are running for office.
I’m not running for office. I joked in an earlier post that I was going to change the MatthewK.com website to align with my brand. So, I have a favor to ask. Please drop a comment with your impression of this website.
Why do you think it exists? Why do you visit? What would cause you to never come back?
I can take it. Remember, Matt Keough is not synonymous with MatthewK.com. Really.
When I started this blog, I stated that I was doing it to play around with WordPress. I’m continuing to do this. Most of the things are “back end” administration type things. But this week I started to get more embarrassed by the default theme. So I messed around with the header. That goes a long way, getting rid of that slightly gradient blue blob up top. More changes soon.
Today the whole family spent the whole day together. Swimming lessons were followed by a trip to play in the air-conditioned mall. Lunch at the food court was followed by a trip to the circus and french fries Friday. All the boys went to bed easily and the Tribe has the lead. AND we saw Grandma on her birthday!
I’m just playing around. I realize there is a faint trace of blue border…and I really don’t think it is all that attractive. I downloaded the GIMP image editing software and played for a couple of minutes. Tomorrow I’ll put together a header that is consistent with the MatthewK.com brand.
By the way. I HAVE been musing online since about 1997. Starting on Tripod then moving the MatthewK.com in 1999.
So if things are pretty FUBAR here….shoot me an email. Thanks
