08/07/2006: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game..."

I opened the paper this weekend and read about the SF Giants losing streak. It reminded me that Nick and I hadn't gone to the park this year to catch a game. Wasn't it John Lennon who said that life is what happens when you are busy making other plans? Seems that we have been so busy this year that we haven't taken time to enjoy ourselves and play a little. The kids usually get booked pretty well in the summer time and they don't get a lot of free "creative" time.

So, I did a quick search on Craig's List and found someone selling their two lower box seats to the game Saturday night. Nick and I headed out on BART, transferred to MUNI and got dropped right at the park. The seats put us right in front of Barry Bonds and a great view of the game. And we brought enough cash to enjoy a couple of burritos, garlic fries, a corn dog, ice cream and a couple of drinks.

The Giants lost again but it really didn't matter. It was great to enjoy a night out at the ball park with my boy.

It really is the simple things in life that bring us the most pleasure. Happy to see you just enjoying a game with your son. And you brought enough cash for corn dogs, garlic fries, burritos, ice cream AND drinks??? Dude, you shouldn't be walking around with that much cash!

It's great to get some quality time with your kids. I can't think of anything better!

Just wanted you to know that I am reading and implementing changes in my diet due to your research.

Wishing you much health and love, Mia
