Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Hidy ho there neighbors.  Just a quick post tonight as I have miles to go before I rest, but I had to take a moment to blog about my day.  I got to the office this morning, actually it was getting close to noon, when my boss comes in and says let's go the the Sox game.  Now, those who know me well know that I have little to no interest in sports.  I always enjoy when one of the hometown teams are going for a championship, but I generally do not watch or go to games. 
So, my boss and a couple of my co-workers take off to go to the 1:05 p.m. game.  I do not do very well when I am bored and have nothing to do.  My schedule is always packed, so when there's nothing going on it does not set well.  So you can imagine how much fun I was having with a 3 hour rain delay.  Finally the rain stopped and we went to our seats... courtesty of the former govenor, right by the dugout.  I was sitting close enough that I could have leaned out and grabbed Ken Griffey, Jr.'s butt, or Ozzie's or well, any of the Sox players.  I was sitting so close I actually heard Ozzie drop the f-bomb when he had some loser ejected from the game. 
It was a pretty good time, then the Tiger's walked three players and Ramirez came out with a freakin' grand slam!  It was awesome!  We all had a really good time and it was a great game to see, especially so up close and personal.  So now the Sox have to win a tie-breaker tomorrow and then they will be in the playoffs  The Cubs already have a seat in the playoffs, so it should be an interesting post-season for us Chicagoans. 
Well that's it, I just had to share my good day.  It was completely spontaneous and fun.  We do not have enough days like that as adults, just as Kath said as I was waffling on whether to go or stay at the office and get work done, life's too short.  Enjoy your day!
Until next time -
