the big a

we returned to our roots today, attending the angels home opener of their 50th anniversary season.  sam was in seventh heaven.  after spending the morning in santa monica visiting with our friends the blakes, who recently moved to the los angeles area, we fought l.a. traffic and arrived at the big "a" in time for batting practice. 

unfortunately, we had outfield seats and sat around some very rude, distracting people, and the angels lost, but it's still a joy to be at a game together as a family.
