[The new tent has to have its seams sealed. This involves setting it up in the back yard, hosing it down, allowing it to dry and then spraying it with silicon. This is thirsty work.]

[At the ballpark, one last time]

[The national anthems]

[All indications are that this is the last time the Lynx will play in Ottawa, in all likelihood headed for Allentown, PA next season to be rechristened the IronPigs - if that's the case, this was the perfect day to remember them by. The sun was hot, the beer cold, the lineup featured a guy named Gookie, and they even dusted off the old mascot (note the Montreal Expos sleeve patch).]

[Seven and a half thousand fans in the stands]

[Dad and I have been coming to these games for 15 years]

[Not sure who this boy is, but he made his way onto the field after the game and ran the bases, stopping near home to consult with manager John Russell. The crowd stood and cheered the whole time, exploding in rapturous shouts when he stomped on home plate.]
