Cardinals

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the boss man for the two tickets--2nd row behind home plate!!!--and allowing K. and I to leave work at 1:00 yesterday to go to the baseball game. I have never sat that close in my life!!! (Or been asked by a perfect stranger as he got up to go to the concessions: "Would the two of you mind keeping an eye on Jackson (his 7-year-old son) while I go get some food? Would you ladies like anything while I'm up?" That was different.) Sadly the Cards lost to Pittsburgh 5-3, but it was a great time anyway. Tried to scam a foul ball out of Bob--who works as an usher sitting on the 1st base line on the field--after the game, but they had already been put away. Damn.
