You did what!?!?

I thought I would save you all some breaths, and say for you what I know you will say when I announce what I did. I went to a Yankees game! It's true! I hopped in the car with a crazy New York driver, went down to the Bronx, sat in the brand spanking new Yankees stadium and watched an entire baseball game. And guess what, I enjoyed every minute of it! I've discovered my problem watching baseball, I've always sat too far back to be able to see the ball. Turns out when you sit close enough that you can see the ball, you don't get bored nearly as quickly. It's much more enjoyable! This was our view.



But Laura! you're saying, those seats are 21 rows back from the field! Those have got to be at least $300 seats! I know, don't worry, I didn't compromise any standards, we only paid $25!! Through an interesting series of events, we got extremely lucky.

They somehow knew I was coming so they put my name up on the board. Some people may try and convince you that is an advertisement for the gas station, don't be deceived! I'm still wondering though who the heck has a last name of Budweiser...

I was accompanied by a couple of great guys I have met in the branch, Alan (above) and Clarence (below). Alan unfortunately carries a curse of the home team losing when he attends the game, so the Yankees did lose. Fortunately I'm a *social fan so didn't lose any sleep. Clarence on the other hand...


*social fan - Whomever I happen to be with at the time, whatever their favorite team is, that is my favorite team. I'll probably end up cheering for the Red Sox by the time the year is over.
