penfieldThis weekend, by the numbers:
4.5: Time, in hours, it took to get from Washington DC to Rochester, NY
51: Time, in minutes, of actual flying
5-to-1: Approximate ratio of old white guys to everyone else at my parents' country club.
3-to-1: Ratio of old white guys to everyone else at our table
4-to-2: Ratio of the members of our dining party to our beverage stewardesses
11: Coconut shrimp eaten by me from the seafood buffet
89: Degrees Fahrenheit, the high temperature from Saturday, June 17
15: SPF level of J's spray-on sunscreen, which I'm told blocks all but 1/15 of the sun's harmful UV rays, which is almost as dumb a numerical indicator as the "proof" label on alcohol.
1.5: Days, afterward, before my skin felt normal again
3: Detours taken on the drive into the city,
1: of which was intentional
2.5 Hours it took for an express tour of the University of Rochester campus
17: Estimated number of creeps given to J. upon touring the steam tunnels under the academic quad
12,227: Spectators in attendance at the June 17 Rochester Red Wings game against the Toledo Mud Hens, the most since 1997
1: Hall-of-famer in attendance, former Brewer, Blue Jay and Twin Paul Molitor
10: Runs scored by the Toledo Mud Hens
4: Runs scored by the Rochester Red Wings; also the number of errors for the Rochester Red Wings, which goes a long way toward explaining the 10 runs by the Toledo Mud Hens
0: Foul balls caught, though I was tossed a ball by the on-deck batter (I gave it away to a kid)
at least 50: times the woman sitting behind me said "Wow!" It was as if the game was not only her first visit to a baseball park, but her first visit to Earth. J. and I didn't stick around for the post-game fireworks, or I surely would have witnessed a world record.
3: Total Zweigles dot dogs consumed throughout the weekend,
1: of which were "white hots"
25: Minutes we had to wait for a table at the Distillery
11: Buffalo wings in "one pound" at the Distillery
13: Napkins destroyed
3.8 Approximate number of miles run by J. and me on the morning of Sunday, June 18
92: Degrees Fahrenheit, the high temperature from Sunday, June 18
100: Degrees Fahrenheit, the approximate temperature of my parents' hot tub
6: Total minutes spent in said hot tub
12: Golfballs gifted for Father's Day
1997 The last time I bought my father something other than golf balls for Father's Day
$4.17 Cost, per golf ball. Try to avoid the water hazards, Dad.
$0.00 Cost of taking my dad out to dinner (Priceless)
4: Servings of Abbotts Frozen Custard (chocolate-with-chocolate sprinkles) consumed collectively by J. and myself,
1: of which J. ordered in a dish, in a cowardly display of concern for her clothing
3+ Days spent in Rochester -- not nearly enough
[infinity] Amount, in Standard Love Units (SLUs), I love my parents
