Kinda caught it
Grex and Gabe did their first camping trip this weekend. Gabe eventually would touch the fish. They liked the tent the best. Much to our parents chagrin and consternation, the older kids are pond swimmers. That will never happen voluntarily with me.

Excitement builds
Room With A View - Part II - San Diego
After my New York City room debacle, my hotel
choice for San Diego has proven to be much better
in terms of the view. Our room overlooks the
stadium. After arriving in San Diego last night
we watched the 10th-13th innings of the ball game.
Of the three of us, it is difficult to say who was the
most excited about the ballpark view. The small
field at the left of the photo is a little baseball field
that is in a public park that is attached to the
stadium. We spent quite a bit of time there this
morning. The minature field is a part of the
"Park in the Park" that is attached to the stadium.
It's open each day until four hours before game
time. You are literally inside the stadium.

View of Great American Ballpark from our

had a front row seat to a great Friday night
fireworks show.

Mighty Cooper at the Bat
Coop prepares to smack a hard triple to the outfield wall in Tues. nights game. He had the triple, one walk, and one strikeout. One RBI, one catch in centerfield to save a couple of runs, and one throw to 2nd base from centerfield for an out. Unfortunately, they still lost.

Mom's "True" Favorite!
Contrary to previous posts on this Blog, one Joseph Scott Gilliam, Sr, firstborn and primary heir of the Gilliam/Rainwater estate, is still and always will be Mom's favorite!
The Gilliam Blog editorial staff regrets this error!
Didn't they stop selling members only jackets in the eighties?
Mom's FAVORITE for today
Mom had a grilled porterhouse steak with sauteed portabella mushrooms and fresh broccoli with cheese. This was topped off with red velvet cake.

Room With A View !!!!!
On my trip to New York City last week,
I asked for and received a hotel room
with a view of the magnificent skyline
of the Big Apple.
... but without the telephoto lens its revealed that
I once again succumbed to the bargain rate hotel
in Long Island City.
