It hasn’t completely escaped my thoughts that there are more people who have read, and continue to read this journal beyond those that share either my last name or portions of my DNA.
Despite a somewhat lengthy hiatus, I am composing some new posts now, a multi-part series entitled What I Did On My Summer Vacation, which should fill the time-gap and help bridge the somewhat loose narrative already running through these threads.
I will also be resuming posting my thoughts on the current state of the Mets and of baseball in general. So have no fear dear reader, you can still participate in the utter mess that is my mind for a bit longer. As I write this the current temperature is north of ninety and my children haven’t even woken up yet. Here in the Northeastern United States we are firmly entrenched in the dog days of summer, and I am looking forward to watching my first Friday night game in weeks from the cool comfort of a well air conditioned room. As long as the power holds, of course.

I’ve purchased our tickets for the 2011 season, and I’m pretty happy with my choices. I got their new “Flex Pack” (6 games, 1 of which is free) a few weeks ago in order to get cheap tickets to Opening Day, a recently neglected tradition of mine that I am very excited to reinstate, as well as 2 Friday night games and 3 Weekday day games – the kind that elicits memories of Ferris and Cameron at Wrigley Field. Not bad for under $200, and I got to keep with another tradition that has never faltered – attending the final game of the season – or having tickets for it at the very least.

Comments will be open on all posts and pretty much any manner of discussion is fine by me, but this being my own little electronic pond, be forewarned that I will fish for and remove anyone who writes something extremely offensive or just plain stupid. Who judges these subjective issues? That would be me, your friendly host, and it will be based entirely on my own sensibilities. I’m a father of two so I feel comfortable saying this: If you want to live in my virtual house you have to play by my rules.

Hello and welcome to Raising the Apple, my perhaps foolish attempt at writing about the Mets, baseball, my life; how it relates to the Mets and baseball, and how it doesn’t.
I’ll be honest, I’m doing this mostly for myself, and the tone and format will definitely be that of a journal and my personal opinion as opposed to news and analysis, though I read a few such sites myself and so I will have links for those if you somehow got here via a mistaken Google search.
