On Tuesday, they will move over to Recker to start laying sod there. It's happening!

And on a the traveling note, this sun looks rather different than the windy rain that has been falling outside our hotel all day today in D.C., thanks to Ernesto. All the wedding festivities are indoors, so this shouldn't be much of a problem. In the meantime, the Mister and I are having several friendly encounters with various Diamondbacks players, and look to have more, since they will no doubt be rained out of their game tonight as well.
