A NEW SOMBRERO IN THE FAMILY

Courtesy of my friend Cessna, I am now in possession of a Tampa Bay Devil Rays sombrero. The team gave them out as a promotion for Cinco de Mayo and they went like sombrero-shaped hotcakes. Knowing my fondness for large headgear, Cessna e-mailed that she had one available for the nominal fee of a visit to the Trop.

That's a real friend, not just a MySpace friend.

Feeling duly blessed by this good fortune, we put it to good use on Saturday when the Salad Clan took in a game against the Royals at the Trop with our neighbors Patrick, Autumn and their kids P.J., Nick and Charlie:

I call this photo "I Wish I Was An Only Child."

El Grupo. Clearly one family got there early enough for free D-Ray bandanas. (Sorry for the spots on the camera lens.)

What about the game, you ask? Well, that scoreboard over Patrick's shoulder should explain it.

It was only the second inning. Enough said.

Thanks to Cessie and the sombrero, the evening was a glorious success.

But lest you think I was the only trendsetter...

...others shared my head adornment as well.
