i am in st. louis, mo, for my annual visit for cardinals baseball games and i liked getting the giveaway item tonight. it is a short, sponsored by monsanto. cardinals lost to the pirates 4-3 though. i liked seeing the game with an old friend though, who now lives in the area. we joked around a lot, more so than most of my friends but this is somebody that knows me well so i am more comfortable with it. after the game i decided to get onto metro-link, the light rail system, one stop early to avoid the after-game crowds. but it was the blue line, so it meant getting off at forest park and transferring to the red line to get back to the airport. i had a beer once i got back to the hotel, and this may have made it easier to go through emails like the e-rewards surveys as i didn't care as much if the questions were annoying. i am tired, and the beer made me more relaxed as well.
there were a few things to get done before getting on my flight this morning. i checked my p.o. box, nothing there. and i did a pay-by-phone on my utility bill. i stayed at the st. louis airport for a little while after the flight arrived, and got some TGI friday's potato skins. also some ted drewes vanilla concrete, frozen yogurt. and some postcards. also made it to the chapel, and shortly after i was there i was about to leave to get to my hotel and my old friend called. we made each other laugh during the 6-minute call, and i said i needed to leave before i spent any more money at the airport, where things are more expensive. i watched a little TV after i checked in, and fell asleep for a little while. then i got up and walked around the area, familiar as i usually stay near the airport. i noticed the trailer park where i saw the 'smile piper' signs appears to be closed, as there was locked gates up. things change, i am aware of this. i am thankful i heard the story of this man, although he had passed by the time i heard it while saying to a resident how i liked the signs there. i was going to get a sandwich at subway, but i liked how there was a little red baron pizza, microwaveable, at the hotel for 3 dollars. so i ate it in my room, there are plenty of things in this 'gift shop'.
