A smiling person stands in a crowded city street filled with Dodgers fans and blue confetti. They wear a light blue LA Dodgers cap, glasses, a dark sweater with red and gray stripes, and black pants. They hold up a white sign that says β€œGIDP 6-3” in blue letters and carry a clear plastic tote bag with blue handles. Tall buildings rise in the background under a bright sky.

A selfie in my Halloween costume as an Amtrak train conductor. The setting is outdoors with a blue sky, trees, and buildings in the background.

What I am telling myself as cope:

The Mariners trailed 12-2 in the 6th inning against the San Diego Padres on June 2, 2016, and came back to win 16-13.

A dark-mode baseball game log from MLB.com showing a sequence of three consecutive walks by the Seattle Mariners. Each entry lists the batter’s portrait, the word β€œWalk” in a blue label, and a short play description. From bottom to top:
β€’ Eugenio SuΓ‘rez walks.
β€’ Leo Rivas walks; SuΓ‘rez advances to second.
β€’ Victor Robles walks; SuΓ‘rez advances to third and Rivas to second.
The diamond icons beside each line illustrate the changing base-runner positions.

A man sits in the stands at Petco Park, smiling while working on a laptop covered in colorful stickers. He’s wearing an Oakland Athletics jersey, khaki pants, and sneakers. A bright blue drink in a clear cup rests on the ground by his seat. Around him, other fans relax in the stadium seats under the sunny sky.

A smiling man sits at a cafΓ© table, wearing a blue cap embroidered with a baseball helmet ice cream sundae and a purple Colorado Rockies shirt. He holds a small souvenir baseball helmet filled with matcha, stirring it with a black straw. The bright cafΓ© has white tables and chairs, with other patrons visible in the background near large windows.

A hand holds a small blue souvenir baseball helmet filled with creamy green matcha. The helmet has a Chicago Cubs logo on the side. In the background, a table holds more green drinks and a bottle, while someone in an orange shirt sits using their phone.

A group of friends sits on the Balboa Island Ferry on a sunny day, smiling for a selfie. In the foreground, a person in a green β€œgold coast” cap and striped shirt holds a folded bill and gives a thumbs-up. Beside him are two others, one in a dark green cap and blue shirt, and a woman in a white T-shirt and green shorts. Behind them, more friends sit on bikes lined up along the ferry’s edge. The harbor sparkles under a clear blue sky, with the Balboa Fun Zone, Ferris wheel, shops, and palm trees in the background.

A small Balboa Island Ferry crosses the harbor under a clear blue sky, carrying a black car and several passengers standing along the edges. The water ripples brightly in the foreground, while the background shows rows of waterfront houses, boats docked along the shore, and a single tall palm tree rising above the rooftops.

A view from the water of the Balboa Island Ferry landing, with a large white sign overhead reading β€œWelcome to Balboa Island.” The ferry ramp leads up to a street lined with shops and palm trees, while people on foot and bicycles wait nearby.

Three smiling friends take a selfie on the platform beside a gleaming silver Amtrak train, its red, white, and blue stripe reflecting the station's bright canopy. The train looms behind them, stretching into the distance under the white arches of Denver’s Union Station.

A toasted gorgonzola sandwich on dark multigrain bread is garnished with fresh greens and served on a round wooden board. A small glass bowl of red grapes sits beside it. A knife and fork rest on a folded napkin to the right, on a polished wooden table.
