Batter Up!

I'm very, very, very excited.
My husband called me in work today and said that he managed to get two tickets right behind home plate for Monday's Red Sox game. He said he was taking our son. What a nice Dad, huh? :)

So, I said "geez, they didn't have three tickets?" and he said that no - for that section they only had pairs. So I said, I'd call and see if I couldn't get a single seat close by. That way we'd switch off watching the game with the little guy. Sure enough, no one sells tickets in odd numbers usually. At least not this far out before the game.

I called him back, told him the dilemma. Then he said "You don't have any friends that would want to go????" Of course I do!! And here in Massachusetts, Monday is a "sort of" holiday. It's Patriots Day - and Marathon Monday. So it's a busy day here in BeanTown. I called my girlfriend Lynne who is a diehard fan (and actually attending Thursday night's game) and asked if she was interested - which by no surprise, she was. And this will be some great medicine for both her and I. She's one of my closest friends, and we dont' get to spend much time together anymore. Her children are grown - mine are small, and so we're at different points in our life. When we first met, I was single and she had young children. So the cycle changes, and life goes on - and in a few years, we'll be on the same path. So this will be a much needed and long overdue girls fun time.

We're all going into the game together! And while Lynne and I are about two sections over, it will still be close enough that my husband and I can "swap seats" occasionally to hang out with the TyGuy.

You have to indulge in these luxuries occasionally, don't you?
