Outstanding puzzle. I loved it. By the way... Larry Walker almost always had longer hair... :-)

Outstanding puzzle, Robyn. Fantastic detail, and fun to solve.

The Rockies do their spring training here in Tucson.

My favorite (former) Rockie is Clint Hurdle, who has a daughter with Prader-Willi Syndrome (that's what my daughter Karie has), and he has been an outstanding spokesperson for the PWS national organization.

Thanks for your entry! I loved it. I'm SO ready for the "play offs"

Adam, his hair is all behind his head... =)

Teresa, Clint Hurdle was also the manager for a long time. I am familiar with Prader-Willi syndrome as a result of watching way too much of the Discovery Health Channel. I really feel for people who cannot escape the feeling that they are starving. How does Karie manage that?

Well, there is a padlock on the refrigerator and the pantry is locked, and she needs to have 24/7 supervision. Her diet is carefully controlled with every calorie counted. The food control is the easy part. What's most challenging is the mental health issues. But she's my Sweetie and I love her. Thanks for asking.

I too am ready for the play-offs...but I really really want the Rockies to lose so that Atlanta can go instead.
Nice puzzle!

They'll have to win the next 4 games for starters ... Good luck!

Not just that, but the Rockies have to lose all 4. It won't happen. Both teams will be lucky to go 2-2.

grumble grumble Atlanta fans.... ;-)

Teresa, I did a bit of a double take when I read your comment, because we also have padlocks on the fridge, freezer, and pantry. I don't think my older son had any food deprivation in the first few months of life before he came to live with us... but he has never had any self-control over his favorite foods and tends to hoard any treats he can get hold of. It's interesting to me that it's only treats and junk food. Makes me think it's related more to impulsivity (he has significant ADHD, which includes impulsivity) than true food issues.

A girl with the challenges your daughter faces couldn't have a better mom.

Thanks, Robyn.

Well rendered and a nice challenge to solve.
