Take Me Out

To the ball game that is. I had too much fun tonight. I went with Chris and Angela to see the Zephyrs play. The Zephyrs are our Triple A baseball team who play for the Mets. We won 7-6 which made the game that much better. Despite the highly annoying children sitting next to us, it was still a great time. You'd think that working with children in a psychiatric hospital I could handle kids anywhere, but I'll take my patients any day over screaming kids at baseball games...though I forget I was once a kid at baseball games as well. They definitely made me watch my mouth, which was a good thing. I tend to scream obscenities uncontrollably at functions like this :/

The weather was perfect tonight. Couldn't have asked for better. The food was quite impressive. I was expecting to have a hot dog, some nachos, and a few beers. I had the few beers (it was dollar beer night), but instead of a hot dog I had Chicago style bratwurst with sauerkraut. Followed that up 4 innings later with a BBQ brisket sandwich and some banana split dippin dots. Talk about your designer baseball food!

I love doing stuff like this. I used to go to Zephyrs games fairly often quite a few years ago, and I'd like to get back to it. Baseball is one of those sports that I can't stand to watch on tv, but love to go to the games. Good times...a nice change from the normal Thursday.

Now if only I didn't have to work tomorrow...

I swear I'll finish Slaughterhouse-Five tomorrow and review it. It's taking me entirely too long to read a 215 pg book!
