Greg, I hate to be the one to break this one to you, but days like that become more frequent the further into teenagerhood (or, as I like to call it, insanity) your daughter goes.

I caught Terry Mulholland’s first home run at a Phillies game in 1995. Within five minutes his father wanted the ball in exchange for some game used bats. We were escorted into the tunnel underneath the Vet just outside the Phils’ clubhouse where we waited for the bats. During that time the Phillie Phanatic was getting on his ATV to go cruising around one of the concourses, until Mulholland’s father grabbed the Phanatic by the snout and started talking to the guy inside the costume through the snout.

It was one of the most amusing moments I’ve ever had at a Phillies game.

Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that the number one cause of SOMBS (Sudden-Onset Mascot Blindness Syndrome) is a sweatband that has slipped down over the performer’s eyes.

You had my favorite kind of day! A St. Paul Day! With cake! I have a theory about St. Paul and the kinds of people and things you see there. I will share it with you if I ever see you in person again. As for the cows on the St. Paul campus: CUTE! As though the giant statues of cows weren’t enough, they had to bring in the live ones. It makes for an authentic St. Paul experience anyway.

And, I don’t want to ruin it for you, but there are multiple Goldies. Male and female. 🙂 Hopefully not all running into walls and stuff, though.
