Ben Who-fleck?

Hey!

So, went into work today at 10 AM, and we had a few odd jobs to take care of in the areas of the park where equipment and materials are stored as it was raining in Boston today...again. I like being here, but I'm getting kind of tired of the cool, wet, and nasty weather we've been having the last few weeks. Hopefully after this week things will take a turn for the better for the rest of the summer. One of the toughest jobs today was poking hundreds of holes in the infield skin to help drain the pools of standing water that has accumulated over the last few days, but Phil and I took care of the task.

The coolest thing about work today, was at about 10:30 AM, as I was walking to work on something with Phil and Paul, I noticed a group of 6-8 people walking toward me. As we got closer, I realized one of the members of this group was none other than movie star Ben Affleck! I ended up walking/riding past him a few times this morning, and it was cool to see him acting as a regular person. Apparently a film starring him will be shooting scenes at the ballpark later this fall and him and the crew were scoping things out. He appeared to me about the same in person as he does on television, maybe a little bit shorter than I thought.

So, aside from ballplayers and sports broadcasters, I had my first celebrity sighting of the summer! I'm about to go to bed, I have work at 6 AM tomorrow.

Hopefully everyone out there is doing fine and enjoying this wonderful Wednesday night.

PS. At this very moment, LSU is leading Texas in the 7th inning of the clinching game of the National Championship series. I don't want to jinx anything, so I'll hold off on calling them the champions just yet, hopefully I can do that tomorrow. GEAUX LSU FIGHTING TIGERS.
