Too bad the game didn't match the theme of champions. #Mets #MetsSky

Citi Field, the ballpark of the New York Mets, set up for a celebration to honor the 1986 NY Mets World Series champions. On the giant scoreboard in center field is an image for a video replaying a moment from that series with a Met at bat. To the right is a smaller scoreboard with a graphic. Chairs are on the infield for honorees. The home run apple appears under the big scoreboard.

3 small bottles of eyedrops. Left one has a white cap, middle one has a gray cap, right one has a red cap. I wrote SHAKE on the right one.

I've never made a TBR stack before. Sometimes I pick my next book before finishing my current one, but mostly I choose what I'm in the mood for from the 100 or so unread books I own. For the 1st time, I'm committing to read at least these books I've recently bought. #books #tbr #toberead #booksky
