Last weekend Colin and I went fishing near Mt Rainier National Park. We fished just outside the park in a beautiful stream. It was the first time I had been to Mt Rainier in 50 years, but there were so many clouds I never did see the mountain. We drove three hours, fished for one hour, and caught nothing, so we went to a bar and had a beer and a sandwich. The bar looked like a set from a David Lynch movie - Twin Peaks revisited. After the beer we felt better and found another stream to fish in. Each of us got one trout, which we released, but at least we didn't get skunked. All in all it was a great trip and I really enjoyed myself.
Sunday was Father's Day and Colin got tickets to the Mariners baseball game for us. It was a cloudy showery day and the roof was closed, but we had a great time. Safeco Field is wonderful, and the crowd was is in a good mood. Everybody was eating hot dogs and garlic fries, drinking beer and Coke, and enjoying their afternoon. The Mariners beat the Texas Rangers which added greatly to our experience. After the game we wandered over to an alehouse and had a beer while we waited for our wives to come pick us up. Then we went back to Colin's house and had a barbecue. All in all it was a good Father's Day.
