¶We had breakfast and did some planning at Starbucks. We ended up walking to the Guardians team store. Beautiful morning for a walk. The team store was a little underwhelming. I didn’t feel like paying hundreds of dollars for a jersey, and couldn’t find a decent hoodie. I’ll wait for Stones merch. Renee got a hat.

¶We timed our visit to the merch truck perfectly. We arrived at about 11:45 and it opened at noon. Met a nice couple from Minneapolis while we waited, and spent some time figuring out which shirts to buy. Renee consulted her sister by FaceTime (my opinion is largely irrelevant on such matters, and I’m ok with that).
¶Now we don’t have to scramble to buy shirts tonight!
¶Off to lunch.

¶The Stones certainly did not disappoint. They played a full 2+ hour set, marching through a set list that’s nearly impossible to complain about (no Can’t you hear me knockin’) and at a pace that would have exhausted bands thirty years younger. A great show all around. I’ll reflect on it in coming days.

¶So there’s a statute of Oliver Hazard Perry in a park across the way from Cleveland Browns Stadium. It reminded me, of course, of the statue of Perry at home, so I did a little research. Turns out, the Perrysburg Perry statue is a bronze casting of an original Cleveland Perry statue. This one, near the stadium in Cleveland, is itself a bronze casting of the original.
¶Ours is a hand-me-down!
